Hi from Northern Ireland

[purplelace]

Hi, just joined and typing this up on my phone so apologies in advance for any typos. I'm a female addict of tattoos. Heavily tattooed, tops of arms, right ribs, left hip, thighs/tops of legs, tops of feet, inside right ankle, right lower leg and will be going back next week to get one on lower left leg finished. Today week to be exact! After not getting tattooed for years, next week will be my fifth session this year. I haven't done too badly. And they haven't been small tattoos either.

Hey there! I visited Northern Ireland a few years ago - it is a beautiful place! Welcome to LST. I hope you will show off some of your tattoos.

Welcome!

[purplelace]

Thank you for the welcome. Pics are on my laptop, is it okay to share in this thread? Or is there somewhere else I should post them?

[OutOfIdeas]

This is a good place to post some existing work, or "latest tattoo lowdown" is always good. There's also a contest thread every month, but its usually good to try and get your entry in early in the month, give it more time to get votes.

[purplelace]

Thank you :) Yes, love black and grey myself, and getting tattooed again this year was important to me and they have (like most of mine) a deep meaning to me :) I'm looking forward to next week, been a long 2 months!

@purplelace

are you by cork?

[purplelace]

No, cork is in the South of Ireland, past Dublin. I'm in Northern Ireland. It's miles and miles away from me.

Went to edit posts with tattoos but can't, due to system locking that function after 24hours. So will put in the artist name and studio here. Tattoo pics are on the first page.
