There are some absolutely incredible tattoo artists out there now some of the work is jaw dropping. I know in your part of the world Comm there are some really esteemed guys.
They are getting better and better all the time. The qualities of the ink these days is remarkable. Someone earlier was on about fading, it just doesn't happen now, we are not talking about indian ink you used to give yourself at school. I still think the yanks are world leaders in this art. They have some incredible stuff.
Yeah man. When I was in LA some of the Hispanic guys, the stuff was just mind blowing, the detail, shading, depth of them seriously you can't comprehend it.
I'd be spending more time practising rather than sitting getting defaced. When Martin Tyler was commentating on Brazil-Germany game he was saying about how Brazil had a team barber, again more time with tactics or basic defending rather than getting hair done was required
Possible the best tattoo I've ever seen is a kraken... http://www.coolmantattoos.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Cool-Octopus-Tattoo-for-Man.jpg
I got the first of, supposedly, many done on top left shoulder about 15 years ago. However, because I didn't do as I was told beforehand, it hurt like hell, I nearly passed out so never went back. Soft ****e that I am! I wouldn't stop anyone from getting them done. it's individual choice that you have to live with. I even went with my daughter to get her tattoo organised once she'd reached 18.
