I'll keep you updated No lyrics - they tend to get lost on full sleeves. I'm having some lyrics on my other arm, well more like words than lyrics. I'm not getting any spliffs or anything like that on it - It's purely a festival of the Caribbean. Plus my job isn't the best job to have spliffs etc on your arm I'm a Substance Misuse practitioner!! I'm avoiding Bob Marley too, as it's not original enough. The Lyrics on the other arm are going to be a history of record labels - Tuff Gong (and a few others) all the way to a current label such as NotNice Records. This will be going down from my elbow to my wrist on the back of my arm. But to be honest there is a lot I'm still to work out yet. I'm having 3 hour sessions every 2 weeks - so overall I'm probably looking at 6 or 7 sessions. It's gonna be expensive, but the guy who's doing it is a mate and he's the best tattoist in Weymouth by far, also he's right on my wave length with the vision I want - and he's charging me £40 an hour (mates rates). All the other shops in town are between 80-90 an hour and are reliant on the gullable toursits. Where Bruce (my tattooist) is hidden down a back street away from town and you wouldn't even know it was a tatto shop if you walked straight past it!! He has his regulars, and gets business purely by word of mouth.
"I'm a Substance Misuse practitioner!!" ah ok, didn't know that lol, know someone who has a cannabis leaf on his neck with the words legalise it underneath, guess you wouldn't be looking at having something like that done know what you mean about the shop and word of mouth, i hate all this hourly rate bollocks as you have no idea how long the tattoo will take, i preferred old school set price. (this obviously suits the artist though) how is your mate at portraits?(or not his style) serious question as i want my girls done but fear i may have to go to the states to get them done as i have only been impressed with tim hendricks and kat. that twat who done beckhams angel is a cocky ****e and i dont think that good from what i have seen. i like the record label idea be D & B for me though not reggae
I'd have thought you were too intelligent to go for tats. You won't be out of place when you finally get to The Cheese
may i say that any man who is offered a pic of a tattoo and notices the bed linen... well sorry but only gaybriel's would notice the bed linen.
Good shout. I once sent a photo of the view from my new (rented) bedroom's window to an old girlfriend, a few years back, now. The shot just happened to include the tiniest fraction of the bed's floral sheets, which I hadn't had chance to change from what the land lady had put on, and that was all she focused on. Telling me I'd better change the sheets because they were 'very feminine'. Brilliant shout, MITO.
You see that walk that Poirot does, where he waddles like a pregnant penguin? That's you, that is. That's you doing your most butch walk to impress the girls. [video=youtube;IzdI_PecYx0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzdI_PecYx0[/video]
