Tattoos

I've heard lots of people say the outline hurts more,I never really got that.
Shading,shading gets really sore when they keep going over the same bit.

Shading as you know is a group of needles so imo is nothing like the outline which is a single needle, hence the variable in pain/discomfort.

Not saying you're wrong,like I say I've heard lots say the outline is the worst part.

A serious question to those who have tattoos. Is there a certain buzz (no pun intended) when getting tattooed? Is it an addictive feeling that some get and therefore feel the need for more?

I'm **** scared of needles so having mine done wasn't an easy decision but weirdly I want a big dragon up my spine.

even mentioning needles is making my hands sweat

Is this a euphemism 🤔

Got no issues with tattoos, not got any myself, don't want any. As other have said the art work on some is superb and I do appreciate the talent that goes into creating them. An old boss had loads of tattoos and his philosophy was only get one if it's going to mean something to you, don't get one just for the hell of it as you will regret it.

A lad that lived behind the inlaws started doing tattoos, got a name for himself, done a few of the Newcastle players and now got his own studio, he is very good.

Simple question. Your loved one, especially an elderly parent or grand parent is in hospital and ill. Would you prefer they were treated by someone in the photo used, or who nips out for a ciggie on a scheduled break and off hospital grounds? I know many, many frontline staff that nurse and have both tattoos and smoke and their quality of care is exemplary. However if anyone came to an assessment centre with such a provocative tattoo as the one used, then I know that even with a nursing qualification, many of our matrons and nursing managers wouldn't employ. That is a simple reality

Can understand that people get tattoos to remind them of summat personal. That's why I get fridge magnets.

what about anyone that has one thats not in or been in the services?

I had mine done as a bit of a memento. It was done while I was training Muay Thai in Thailand, by a Thai tattoo'ist using the traditional bamboo method. Hurt like a mother but looks awesome and healed within an hour, no scab, no itching, was amazing. Have my fiancee's name + "wherever you will go" inscribed on my left inner bicep in Thai, and before you ask, yes, it does actually say that. Personally I love my tattoo and don't regret it one bit and will definitely be getting more.
