I always knew that I wanted to get a tattoo. From the time I was really little I wanted one, but I just didnt know what the hell to get. Then when I was 5 I got a horse named Gunner. I had that horse until I was 17 years old, and we had to have him put to sleep. He was 37 years old, and for a horse, that is unheard of. Anyway, I told myself for years that once that horse dies, I would get a tattoo for him. Something that would show how much I appreciated him, ...

It was July 2007, and I had been feeling for awhile like it was time to get another tattoo. I had my design all picked out (a red and black nautical star), and was going to wait until the end of August to get it done at Dragon FX in Edmonton, when I would be down there for a vacation. However, eventually I decided that I really wanted this tattoo, and just couldn't wait the extra month or so. Looked like it would be back to Scott for me :-). Here's where the fun part came in: my Mom, who ...

I got my first tattoo done in March 2007. I had been debating getting a tattoo since I was about 16 years old. I really wanted something religious and something that represented my life experiences, but I was scared to get a permanent mark on my body. My biggest fear was getting something I would regret when I got older. Even though I was 18 at the time, I was still scared to get a tattoo because I knew my parents and grandparents would not approve. Going to Class Act that day in March was a spur of the moment ...

Back when I had just turned 18, I decided to get my first tattoo. I'm an artist, so naturally I wanted my own design tattooed on my body more than anything else. To make a long story short, the tattoo did not turn out as expected. Although I probably am more critical of the result because it is MY design, no one can deny the poor quality of this artist's work. Three years later, I am dissatisfied because of how the lines have bled into one another, blurred, and otherwise degraded as a whole. I blame the artist, though I ...

I've lost a lot over weight over the past few months, but have a stone or so left to go before I want to get a rather large back piece - and have been getting more and more impatient over the last few weeks - seeing my new figure, but not having any pretty new pictures on it! So yesterday I was sorting out some old paper work when I came across a tattoo idea I'd been toying with long before my dieting days. I realised that my hips have pretty much got down to as small as they can ...

I first became interested in body modification when I was 16. That's the year I really started to really become me. Until then, I was pretty much a clone. I never wanted to cut or color my hair, get piercings or tattoos. I'm not exactly sure what happened that year, but it all started with an impulse that ended up with my cutting my hair (that was down to the middle of my back) to just a few inches long. I started coloring it, and then, I wanted to get my lip pierced. Of course, I was a minor, so ...

Awhile back on a whim (as most good ink stories go) I decided to pop into my local shop (River City Tattoo in Old Sac) and see about getting some new work done. At this point I've seen the business end of needle a few times and I'm itching to be up on that table! Plus I can get a touch up on my kanji (relax I'm part Japanese) so I have the stone and now I'm looking for my birds. I wanted some wings. Not on my back but on or around my ankles. I explained to the guy ...

I am 19 now, and have been wanting a tattoo since before I can remember, but have been really thinking about what to get done for the last 4 years now. I have always wanted to get one on my middle back, somewhere that is easy to hide and that I didn't think I would ever regret because I wouldn't be able to see. Once I had a spot picked out I needed to figure out what to get! I have always loved stars and to me they represent my family as we used to always sit outside together and ...

Darkness closes around me, wrapping me up almost completely. I can hardly see at times, so I am not my eyes anymore. I am not my ears, either because I move to the rhythm of my favorite "artificial" tunes. I am smell, I am touch, I am breathing. With random or pretty consistent thoughts going through my head I am both my own mind and my own body. I do enjoy this combination. I do enjoy being out and challenging myself over and over again! The sky is dark. Sometimes it's covered with low clouds and fog raising higher and ...

Da tempo desideravo un tatuaggio, mi piaceva proprio l'idea, l'avere qualcosa di originale sul mio corpo ancora intatto. Fin da quando ascoltavo Ramazzotti e vedevo i suoi tattoos fino ad adesso che ascolto metal/rock e la passione per le modifiche al corpo si è accesa ancora di più. Allo stesso tempo l'idea mi spaventava, come lo dico ai miei? Ma farà male? Quali rischi ci sono? Sta di fatto che un giorno, dopo una scenata con mia mamma (avevo appena compiuto 18 anni) appena lei a malincuore aveva pronunciato una parola di approvazione, sono corsa in centro a prenotarlo. Tempo ...
