KEEP EM COMIN PPL!!..does neone own there own tattoo gun?

[Carrie]

it cost about 80$

If you seek cheap work, you will get cheap work. For something that is so longterm as a tatty, I would be asking for the places with the best rep, not the place with the rep for being the cheapest.

^ Looks like you have your head on fine. I just shake my head when I see cheap ink on folks. It's really something to spend top dollar on, so just thought I'd say so :)

yeah i totally agree..but the rates r way cheaper when you design yer own tatty...there pretty big so i just want the outline..i fig the rest of em out later when i can drop serious dough on em:)

[Carrie]

I agree with Nev, you should get it somewhere that you trust, even though it's just an outline.

and if you tell them that you're unsure of the colour, and that you'll get it done later by them, I'm sure they might do the outline for cheaper.

although if it were up to me, I'd get it all done at once cause overall you wouldn't have to pay for twice the work. just pick a colour now.

^ I went all the way to sechelt to get mine done, bc I know ppl personally who have had marvelous work done by her. She was worth every penny and every minute of travel time. And, all the time I had to wait to be able to get over there :)

[Carrie]

I think it's time for tattoo no. 2 but I'm not sure what I want just yet.

[veN]

^ I know I want another, but I'm waiting until after summer... There's too much sun and water involved this time of year. I'll get it in the fall/winter/springtime and it'll be all primed for next summer's exposure ;)

[Carrie]

good idea.

got a pic of the one you have?

I've been plotting a tattoo for my Arm. But I'm to artistically retarded to get the thought from my head to Paper. :(

I just took a couple bc the ones I had on my comp from when I had it done are gigantamasaurus. This one is not that small either (sorry). It's hard to take a flattering picture of one's own back, but here it is:

(Incase you can't tell, it's on the small of my back, centered.)

[Carrie]

how long ago did you get it done?

[veN]

^ May 2004

[Carrie]

yeah I got my at the end of April 2004, I can't believe it's been a year.

[veN]

^ I don't know what happened to the year. It zooooomed past me in a most marvelous flood of goodtimes :)
