had wanted a tattoo for a loooong time, and I finally decided that I'd do it. Now came the decision of what I should get a tattoo of. Well, i'm a HUGE Our Lady Peace fan, and I had decided on the Naveed symbol (it's written in Sanskrit). Anyways, so now I had to find a place to do custom tattoos. There were only 2 tattoo parlors in Brandon and Artistic is the one that said they would do custom tattoos. So I made my appointment and faxed him my tattoo design. The day of my tattoo I was SO ...

self adoration At A Glance Author Amadeus Contact Amadeus@bme.anon From my early youth I was fascinated with my own body, this is probably a very common experience for everybody. And yet I was dissatisfied, since I was a skinny child and in puberty I was extremly fat. For this and other reasons my own physical self was unattractive to me till, of course, my first sexual experiences. A vague sense of disappointment lingered. Twelve years ago I was in Frankfurt in Germany and on sudden impulse I went to a local tattoo parlour The shop and the tattooist sported that ...

eeve or not to sleeve, that is the question. It took me a long time to decide if I was that committed to body art. I have several other tattoos, but none as involved as a full sleeve. The idea stemmed from my desire to forever immortalize my all time favorite villain, Maleficent, from Disney's Sleeping Beauty. But how could I possibly fit her Royal Badness and everything else from the film I wanted into one tattoo? The answer seemed clear. If I was going to do it, I was going to do it right, which meant a serious commitment ...

so I have known Alex for awhile now. He is my best friend's older brother and he's been tattooing for about 3 years or so. Well, I spent a lot of time in art class in high school drawing big-busted faeries but nothing came out quite the way I liked it. I knew WHAT I wanted, I just couldn't draw it to the standards of putting it on my body. So, I approached Alex with my dillema and he let me look at the artist Brian Rouche's book "Faeries" and show him what I did and didn't like. Then he ...

rcumstances by which I received my first tattoo were somewhat odd, but none-the-less very cool. At the time, I was in my junior year of high school, and I was hosting a foriegn exchange student from Germany. I had expressed interest in getting a tattoo many times to my parents; and although they each bear ink, I was told to wait until I was older. When Daniella(our German student) came to stay with us, however, that all changed. She also wanted to decorate her skin, and together we convinced my father that it would be a bonding experience for the ...

is a story about my wife and I, and our tattoos from ground zero. My wife and I dated 6 months before we got married, during those 6 months my wife asked me if I minded if she got a small tattoo. I said sure. Little did she know I had a passion for tattoos since I was a teenager. My mother had a friend who was a very nice looking lady that I always thought was very interesting, than one day I saw this lady in a swim suit, She had a large floral tattoo on the front of ...

ubmitted a story here previously, about my tattoo journey which didn't begin till I was 35 years old and how it has influenced my life. My first tattoo -- a small blue flower on the front of my right shoulder -- was a big milestone for me. I've just celebrated an even bigger milestone -- my first below-the-elbow work. Over the past couple of years as I've addded more and more work, the mental process was pretty much the same -- find a spot for the idea I had in mind and get it done. No real internal debate was ...

, this is my first tattoo experience . I guess i have been thinking real long about whether or not to get a tattoo , u see , no matter what people say , singapore is still a very conservative country and is a place where tattoos are considered to be associated with gangs and outcasts . this is too bad for people like us .. for actually i sincerely feel tattooing is a very beautiful art form .. its like u can tell what a guy's character is like just checking out his/her tattoo . anyway ...i did a ...
