So, a thread about tattoos (if its not been done already...)

[ruckedout]

Master Ray.......

I think you know how i feel about mine.

ruckedout...

I think Shush will agree with me when we say it's not nearly as bad as you think...

Note to anyone reading this... it's not an awful tattoo and it's not in an intimate place, we weren't in a Turkish bathhouse or anything... 

How about anyone having a partners name tattooed on them?  From what I've heard, that's often the kiss of death for a relationship, sods law and all...

Haha....Turkish bathhouse!!

I don't mind the first one which is on my right shoulder blade, it's the second one on my left shoulder blade that doesn't look right. I had someone standing on my shoulders at the Nottingham gig a couple of days before i was booked in, my shoulder was really bruised but i still kept my booking. Because i was a novice, i just went in there and sat down, by then it was too late so i now i have one lower that other. I didn't know a bruise and some skin missing would cause such an issue.

You live and learn i guess.

I do agree it is not that bad at all, can't see anything wrong with it. As it is on your back you can ignore it anyway -- if anything, its an NMA tatt that will be seen mostly by others at an NMA gig - nowt wrong with that !!

Sheena, I also got my first tattoo 20 years ago in a dodgy shop in Nottingham. But to be fair, I drew it myself, several times in several sizes, cut out the drawing and tried them on to decide on the size and exact shape before I settled on the final one. Have done the same with all my tats since - after several weeks of deciding and planning.

I saw a picture of a flower fairy at my nans when I was a little girl, about 8 or 9.
I loved it and looked at it every time I was there.
I had it tattooed on my shoulder about 10 years later.
That was 27 years ago.
It was one of the first tattoos the artist did in "nice colours" rather than black/blue/green/red.

It was commented on once back then in a pub. The person said "A woman with a tattoo ? Lesbian or New Model Army fan ?" I kid you not !

Had some work done on my tattoo yesterday and boy is it sore today!  It looks amazing though; worth every minute of needle hell.  Next sitting booked in September...

Some of my best friends whom been going to NMA shows with me for the last 10 to 15 years have no tattoos.
So thats more than just a few 
Myself I have 4. First one was the knot from thunder and consolation, which I got with my older brother. 
Third one is with the ashes of my mom, and the last one was a celebration of my family and son. All tattoos have meaning or represent an event or bond. Only the second tattoo i got, has non, I got it because I had time to spare in Amsterdam.
But no matter the reasons, I have No regrets...
