tattoo and piercing (35)

i dont consider myself as being a tattoo junky,but i do think that som people go alittle to far,as to having there face hands,and other very visable places inked....for a lot of people it s away of dealing with a peorsonal matter that was somewhat pain ful to deal with,then the kiddys get them because they are in,,,a lot of people just get them because eveyone has one,without giving it much thought........my ink tells a story of past time and a lot of friends gone bye,,,its nice when i do people a faver and give them something they really wanted,for a lost child or,friend,or maybe they beat a disisease,,,,its worth more than money to see people get very emotional and to know you did some good for them.....and i really must ive had custermers from all walks of life,one was even a dematoligist,yep a skin dr.!!!!!!!gettting a tattoo is not about you normal day job!!!!

mike spain,..i know a very talented artist in madrid..robert hernendez.......or cathy and mao...very talented artists....

I've heard of mao me thinks, not the others. Will have a look at it, thanks for the directions!

Hi Steve,

There's been some talk about tats but what about piercings? In your experience, why do people get them? Do they tend to mention their reasons to you? I don't think I would like to get inked anywhere but I had a barbell put in my left eyebrow almost 6 years ago and never removed it: it's part of me now. I'm sure it would take me a few minutes to figure out how to unscrew the ball and remove it safely :-)

ei,it just seem to be a trend,but if it goes into intim parts it does have a playful meening,one time a girl hab one ear stick out more than the other,and with a long barbell i could shorten the gap somewhat...

famous people with tatoo`s include the queen mother she had a serpent on her wrist which she could cover with a bracelet when required, was all the rage in the early 1900s my great gran had one

I've got seven tats and none really hurt, just the odd spot on the flesh here and there.

Do I regret? No way. I have an owl for my Mother (she loved owls) and underneath a R.I.P. scroll one for her with the date she died. My Mum will always be with me.

Do Chinese people get English sayings tattooed on their bodies?
