Tats 'n' Stuff

Sun, Apr 5, 2009 at 12:44 AM by Vicksken

While I was looking around I noticed that there is a lot of Tattoo Talk going on at many different places. And that made the crazy control freak in me wake up…

So how about posting everything that is tattoo related over here?
Pictures, drawings, tattoos you wanne get…

By the way, I’m saving for my first one, so if you feel like giving advise to a black canvas: Feel Free

    I won't lie about it but for all of mine I fell asleep while getting them. My first being a tribal piece on my lower back a.k.a. tramp stamp, one one my right calf, two on my neck (one on each side), two on my fore arm (my crackhead and a line from Scars and the title on my wrist and another just below my neckline in the middle of my back (an anhk). I guess it all depends on ones pain tollerance. Also, it's a different kind of pain, hard to describe. I just know that I love the feeling!! If you want to check them out, click the link to my myspace and they are in my tattoo photo album.

    Thanks for all the pointers guys!! Hopefully I'll be able to get it this summer...I got a quote back from a shop in Toronto and they said $120. For the word and four stars...it'll be about 3 inches long I think...is that good for pricing?


    $120 Canadian is about $97 US, aka wayyy to expensive for that tattoo. lol. you should be paying more like $60 to maybe $85 [canadian] at most for something like that!

    well ive never paid over $60 for any of my stuff...

    I mean, some ive done myself, but whatever, lol.


    I guess I technically DID get raped on one tattoo, though.. i have 2 nauticals on my chest.. the cocksucker nailed me 120 for those, because he "hates doing symmetrical shit"..... And I basically told him to get the fuck out of a tattoo shop and burn his permit if he hates symmetrical tattoos so much,.


    SO technically, $60 each star,, but..... i got ripped. the color came out with-in 3 weeks... and I actually re-filled them myself... do you know what a bitch it is to tattoo your own chest? gahh

    hmm...maybe I'll look around then. I thought it might be expensive but like I said...I didn't know. It was an online quote which is kinda what I have to look for cause I live like 6 hours from Toronto. I'll see if there's another place that offers online quotes. If anyone knows of any shops in downtown Toronto that offers quotes online let me know! Thanks for the advice on pricing guys!

    LINK TO PICTURE OF MY TATTOO

    I got my very first tattoo a little over a month ago (I absolutely LOVE it!). It symbolizes my mom & I. The red flower is a Gerbera Daisy which is her fave flower (and red is her fave color) and the pink flower is a Felicia Rose (Felicia is my name). Adding the ribbon was actually my tattoo artist's idea, but I think it really completes the tattoo and makes it look even more awesome. It ended up being $300 after he lowered the price (he usually works at $150/hour, but he lowered it to $100/hour for me). Some people keep telling me I got ripped off, and I would agree if I had paid full price for it, but with the size and the detail of it, plus the fact that it's all color, I think $300 is pretty reasonable.

    Honestly, though throughout those 3 hours, it really only hurt maybe like 45 minutes of the time (and that was mainly all at the end when he colored in the rose and the ribbon)...the rest of it didn't really hurt it was just kind of agitating.

    I'm just glad he and my friend told me to go eat lunch first because I didn't think I was going to get hungry, but they were so right! Even though I ate, while I was lying there towards the end my stomach started to growl...

    ^yeah,,, alot of artists are doing it now.

    It sucks, and its the main reason im probably not gonna work for my artist when his shop reopens in a few weeks...

    im not charging people sky high prices when im not a goddamn 100% expert. Sure im licensed, but damnit, ive maybe tattooed 6 other people then myself... ok maybe more like a dozen but still.

    It's interesting the weird position I get into getting some tattoos. Today when I got my arm done I was facing away with my arm twisted behind me and the back of my hand on the table for part of it. It wasn't too uncomfortable.

    I'd really like to get "The world is ours" [Reforma lyrics] above my Adalia tattoo and "This world is for you" [Madina Lake lyrics]
    but I can't really because she's too high on my shoulder...I don't think it'd look good on the sides of her going down...or both under her... so I'm not really sure what to do. I could get them on the tops of my shoulders going across [like from my shoulders to my neck...like that roman numeral tattoo Rihanna has] or something....I'd like them to be near her tho since it ties in with it....


    eh..I dunno why I'm thinking about tattoos..I just got one a few weeks ago xD

    If you really want it, I wouldn't ask anyones permission....

    I totally love the crackhead even though there seem to be quite a few people around who already have it. So I guess it's not really 'original' anymore...
