Tattoos

and what way is that beneficial to me?

Are you kidding?! You get to be Sweet Pete! Not me literally, but you get all the reflected glory of association. I just think SlipperyP suits me better, because I'm half eel on my mum's side.

Kat Von D is $700 an hour holy shit.

She's not even a good tattooist.

I'm bad for this when drunk.

I think there's a little of this inside all of us. SweetPete is essentially overcompensating.

Since starting this thread, I've had my first tattoo (pished in Magaluf) and am booked in for another one. Hopefully sober and not in Magaluf.

I hear this a lot, but admittedly it only seems to happen in Thailand or Magaluf. I've genuinely never been to a tattoo artist (or tattooist, more likely) that would even allow somebody drunk into the shop, let alone give them a tattoo. How come nobody goes in drunk and comes out with a half sleeve?

Presumably because that would leave less time for drinking. I was in and out in an hour.

I should say, my tattoo isn't a botch job. It's DECE.

They're a strange thing tattoos. I'd never get one but they don't look too bad on some people. Just not my thing at all.

I pulled a very nice lass one night, a solid 8/10. My heart sank a little though, when she got her birthday suit on. She was covered in tatts! Properly covered, she slipped down the scale to a lowly 2.5/10. Like a true gent I still provided a great service, but I was well gone before she woke up. Guess that makes me a shallow b*****d!

I like tattoos, when they're done well. The problem is that about 90% of tattoos you see on folk are crap designs executed badly. Never understood why people go to El Cheapo tattoo "artist"----you're getting something that'll be with you for life, surely you want a good job done?

But at the same time, Kat Von D charges $700 an hour, seemingly, for pretty mediocre stuff that most competent artists could do for a third of the price. I get your point, but most people get tattoos fairly mindlessly, and will just go to their local neighbourhood studio. Folk who regard tattoos as art will take an attitude similar to yours and look around, looking at portfolios and so forth.

A couple of tips:

  • Don't go in with a hangover.
  • Have something to eat beforehand.
  • Take ibuprofen.
  • Put ibuleve gel on the intended area of the tattoo.

Sounds close to my routine but swap brufen (I'm allergic) for tramadol and ibuleve for some American gel I got off eBay.

I've never took any painkillers or anything like that for any of my tats. Never actually thought of it! Just stuck through it. Could've used them when getting my ribs done. Should've probably have eaten something before starting too, almost whitey'd in the middle of Tesco after it.
