Dave1875 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Saw a guy in Aberdeen last week with his entire face tattooed over. Looked terrible and like he'd done it ~30 years ago. I wouldn't recommend. Seen him as well. Mainly around the bus station (Union Square). Don't think I'd ever get any part of my face tattooed, if I did it would probably be on the inside of my bottom lip. Been wanting to get a tattoo for years, just never had the money. Now I have an income I'm looking to start, just don't know what to get. Whilst I do want tattoos I don't want any thing I'd look at later & regret 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being the case, if you hold off waiting to find some magic, timeless, classic tattoo that will remain meaningful and appealing to you for the duration of your life then you'll never get one. Too many people seem to think that their tattoos need to be somehow meaningful or "deep", but at the end of the day it's body decoration, so if you like it get it, if you can't find or design any nthat you like enough to get them permanently etched then don't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Actually that leads me onto a pet hate of mine; tattoo bores. The folk who insist on showing everyone who'll listen their tattoos and telling them how much it means to them and why they got it and what it represents. Cringeworthy wankers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. Tattoos don't have to mean anything if you really like the design then get it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1875 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Kat Von D is $700 an hour holy shit. Was going to make a "I hope you mean tattooing" joke but decided against it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Yeah iv'e booked a full day sitting to get most of it done, then will book another few hours to get it finished I'm the complete opposite, as you can tell from my picture i really like Kat Von D, would probably pump her till it fell off. Attractive looking girls with such horrific tattoos actually make me sick, its just a total waste of skin. Theres a bird who works in the William hill in Leith who I have a soft spot for and occasionally have a tug about who has a similar downfall. Would still definitely smash it though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillonearth Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I've got tattoos myself, so I'm in no position to judge, but one I've never understood is people who get one in a foreign language which is inevitably misquoted and misspelled. Chinese is a minefield for that - remember talking to a Chinese girl who had been chatted up by a Scottish guy who proceeded to show her the ink he'd got in Hong Kong while travelling. He told her it signified strength or courage or something along these lines. What it signified was the Chinese version of bawbag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowdenbeathLoyal Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Tribal tattoos annoy me as well, yeah its cool if you are built like a brick shite house but not okay if you have been going to the gym for a week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbineTon Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited April 29, 2014 by TurbineTon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLANCY2KTID Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I'm in the middle of getting a half-sleeve done at Hepcat in Glasgow. Not back in until May 31st though so just enough time for me to forget how sore it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not back in until May 31st though so just enough time for me to forget how sore it is. 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 My mate got his half torso finished the other week, the tattooist (aforementioned Cammy) gave him a couple Tramadol to numb the pain. My mate, ONE HOUR LATER, still thought it was pretty unbearable. Cammy left the room to take a call, my mate got up and tanned another two trammy's. Needless to say, spew everywhere, taxi phoned and said mate absolutely jakey'd out his tits Tramadol are the berries, but they don't half give me the opiate itch. I end up happily stoned out my melon, scratching away at my flesh in a daze. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
