    Default 5th of oct! im getting ink done in the morning

    well its my birthday (27th) so its officially ok for me to go get inked today lol i try to keep it to once or twice a year (lets me save up as much as possible too lol)


    a few of the posts on here about latin lettering on here have sparked my imagination this time, and after a suggestion i made about getting writting inked over thats what im doing, i was going to add to my sleave but (as some of you know ive got a bit of a cracked arm) changed my mind as i couldnt design it properly (at all) so i was scanning around online and saw an exerpt from an 1859 charles dickens story (it was the best of times it was the worst of times you get the idea) inked on to someone forearms and i thought about it and decided to get song lyrics done, written in my own hand writting the song im getting done isnt particully popular and not many people have heared it but its just one of those that i adore

    its called breathe me by sia and when its done ill post some piccys unless i change my mind and get something else and then i post some piccys of that instead lol but one way or another im getting inked today

    im booked in for half 2 and im still not 100% on what im having done, ive wrote the lyrics on my arm and it looks ok, (its going to form part of the sleave on my left arm) later in havin it wrapped in an old school style banner with pop art style roses at the top and bottom of it

    id show you all the design but its in my head lol

    this is the one that gave me the idea but rather than going across the arms (cos ive already got a forearm sleave on the right arm) i want it to go down the arm more as a paragraph rather than verse,

    i didnt post a live link cos they dont like that and its a decent sized picture as well so if your on dialup beware

    these are the lyrics for the whole thing

    well i just got back from primal art in doncaster (marks the one whos done most of my ink) and ive not got anything done, because he was shut for the 3rd time in a row i waited for an hour and there was no sign no-one answering the phone so im sorry to say if hes open then hes a good artist but if you call and make an appointment go somewhere else

    i called skin deep in hemsworth and hes going to get it done for me tonight one way or another (cancelation or stay till late) after having a look at some of the other works hes done i dont know why i didnt go there to start with

    piccys will be posted later

    Happy Birthday pal!! An artist standing you up and not bothering to call isn't worth bothering with. No matter how good, f@ck him off.

    that was my thought, ive been having issues with him for a while now, turning up 2 hours late or not bothering and all my tattoos are done by appointment so its not like he didnt know i was going, i rang and confirmed yesterday and ive just had enough ive been on and off the phone all afternoon trying to get hold of him and theres neither hide nor hair of him, i did get a call from the fella at skin deep appologising that he doesnt think he can get me in today but im in for definate tommorrow afternoon shame its not today but after the messing around its understandable

    cas

    btw cheers for the happy birthday m8

    theyre backwards cos i had to take them in the mirror, cos i couldnt move my other arm far enough to get it done propperly, im going back in about a 10 days for some more shading and the outline thickened up a bit


    as you lot know already im a shitty speller and i took my design in my handwriting with a spelling mistake that he thought was the way it was ment to be lol it wasnt and its getting fixed with some whiteish ink when i go back lol i spelt head as haed its seen to, to a large degree now but i want the edges lightening a bit around the letters to make it not look as thick (it looks worse on camera to be honest)

    the rose is going at the bottom near my elbow on the underside of my arm, and its either going to be a pop art style or maybe a heavily stylised/ graffiti style one ive not 100% decided on that,

    1 other thing with a medium sized tattoo on my leg, both wrists have initials on them 3/4 of a forearm sleave on my left arm and a right forearm sleave on the other do you think i qualify as heavily tattoo'd ?? (if not how close am i?)

    and yeah i know my handwrittings shit lol its not helped by the problems ive got with my hand at the mo, but its generally always like that but when i can get about 100 wpm on here who needs to write lol

    i know this is going to sound dodgy and like im covering but its strange but i cant find a copy of the spelling mistake anywhere only on the purple transfer that was destroyed after it was stuck on me, i dont think i got it wrong i think the fella who inked it on got it wrong but blamed me cos ive got the origional that the transfer was taken from and theres nothing

    never mind though im happy with it and when the shadings done completely then ill be even more happy especially when the roses or what ever i have added is done
