We made enquries about this as my nephew is a very talented local artist, and he did consider doing this for a living and only recently, but you have to get most places to take you on as an apprentice first so you can gather experience before attempting to do this on anyone. Our local authority were very strict about this.
Shame really as he would have made a fab tattooist.

Yep, we are aware of this thanks whiz but it's not a business, it's purely hobby, only friends and family are victims lol Plus, everything is sterile, new needles and everything. My OH has already concidered this, it's down to the indervidual (sp), if they want to go ahead then they should sign something to cover him. He will only charge for what he uses, if in years to come he wants to do it as a business, then all the right channels will be gone through its reeeeally cool being able to a tattoo even if it was just my name lol Thanks anyway

Edited to say The OH best mate is a top tattooist of leicester, he comes here often or vise versa so he has on hand help and advice.


Archaeopath, sure, can we see please?

Hi Saz (and anyone else who's bored enough lol )

Right hip:


Left shoulder:


Right shoulder:


Back:


The one on my back is unusual as it has no outline - the outline is usually done in black, but as this didn't have a visible outline my tattooist just scored the flesh dry (no ink)

All have been designed by me

Heres just a few of them, he has loads more will get some more pics tomorrow as hes at work now.

Erm sorry about the hairy chest girls, this is one of the first ones he had done


And Sorry about the hairy back


This was a 1950`s style one that was ment for display purposes only, but he liked that so much he decided to have it done.


This was also another 1950`s style ment for display purposes only.
