They are addicting and awesome. Make sure you watch the artist work on people and best if you know someone that he has done work to in the past. Tats can look good fresh but if the fker chops you up bad you won't notice till it heals.

Scars and ink is pushed out if the skin cause he went to deep. Bad business Mr. Lee.

Whatever you do make them draw you up something free hand before you go through with it!!! Some of those guys/gals suck and will jack you up for life. Always have them free hand something up!!!

Just about everyone with tats at my gym goes to the same lady. Her work on everyone else looks really good.
I'm getting either a cross(chain cross) or a tribal tat.
Left shoulder area.

Can't really decide. I picked out a celtic cross that has beads on it. Found out today it rosary 327beads-catholic.. Well I'm not catholic- so now I'm re-thinking..
I thought this tat was cool.

I'd also recommend looking at work that has healed

Please don't get tribal. It was the worst trend ever in tats. It looks geigh as fuck and if you have no relation to a tribe there's no reason to get it. It screams "I WANT A TATOO AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO GET BUT NOW I'M A NERD AND I THINK I LOOK COOL!". Ask any tat artist what they think about tribal, i bet you'll get the same answer. Get something that has some meaning to you, and I know a tribal tat has no meaning to almost everyone who has one.

I dont have any tats, I dont need them! I have nothing against them, My kids have several of them. All the tats that they have mean something! None of that tribal doodle stuff. Thats for the obese Wal-Mart crowd. That and spandex, lol.
Anyway Choose wisely and post a pic when its finished, please.

Damn man... you are one serious guy to drop that much on a Tat, 2grand makes me think of my girl naked in bed with a lot of vials on her while I have sex with her. She can lay there while I make it rain Abombs and Test Cyp :) But not a tattoo lol!
