So, I got my first tattoo
So, I got my first tattoo
I got it with a bunch of my buddies. We got SPQR tattooed on our left arms like the Roman legionnaires did. Then we went out and killed a bunch of Huns to celebrate.
Thinking of getting the Brotherhood of Steel symbol on my right arm at some point. So I guess I have a question for you guys who have tattoos - for something like that, is it better to get the lining and color done all in one go, or get the outline of it down then get parts colored in periodically?

It's probably better to get it in sessions. So says the man who sat for about 8 hours straight to get his done.
But honestly, I think part of that depends on the artist and the size of the tattoo as well. If you're getting a little girly butterfly, than one session for it all with a decent tattoo artist makes sense. If it's like a fucking gauntlet tattooed on your forearm, a number of sessions makes sense.

Walt: Thanks for the advice. Spending 8 hours getting carved on doesn't sound pleasant - the SPQR thing was a good first tattoo, only took about 20 minutes in the chair.
Alice: I know you have trouble processing the fact people can function in groups. However, if I wanted your opinion on that topic, I'd give it to you.

depends on how big it is. anything bigger than a FIST and using multiple colours will probably take longer than a duochrome skinplant of corz. im guessing itll take about an hour i have som tats i need to som more as you either have 1 or 2 or loads ok im the tat guy on dac HEH

I think you're overestimating the meaning of social functioning. Your focus is on peer pressure, of which you have become a victim, marked permanently.Ratfat83 wrote:MISTER McFap II Esq.: I know you have trouble processing the fact people can function in groups.

Megs, get an X rayed monster truck tattooed around the engine.
I kind of feel like everyone nowadays has a tattoo. Is it to make some kind of statement? Are you unique because you get a tattoo like everyone else does? Is it art when some uneducated fucktard tattoo's over a printed picture out of his catalogue?

If you knew anything about me, you'd know I do the peer pressuring. It seemed like a fine idea to me; again I apologize that you don't have any close friends.Alister McFap II Esq. wrote: Your focus is on peer pressure, of which you have become a victim, marked permanently.
As for everyone having tattoos, the meaning is up to the person getting it. I did comment to the tattoo artist that I thought tattoos lost their edge once librarians and school teachers started getting them - he replied that he'd tattooed a librarian earlier in the day. As for the education comment, the guy doing my tattoo seemed pretty fucking smart. Tattooing's just a job he likes that he's been able to make a lucrative career from.
