Haha, I wouldn't mind Alameda. However I'm heading into law enforcement, and while their a little bit more lenient on Emt's/ and Medics, not so much the case with the po-po. So nothing below my elbows and nothing on my neck. I only get away with my wrist tattoos because their covered by my watch and hair ties at all times.

Then when it's finished if you're in the same job, you've got your legs to do.

Stitch626 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 @ Costello- Their a little bit more nit-picky on tattoo coverage on the east coast, especially in the area I live. @ Gouge- Yep, upper thigh is already started, right arm is almost finished (minus undersides of both arms) As for my back, I have to get some lazer work done before I do anything to it. That and trying to figure out exactly how to draw it up is giving me a headache. Ah well one day :) Until then I'll drool over all the pictures.

ShawnPorter Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Not to take it further off topic, but in my neighborhoods (work and home) here in Philly we have a growing amount of sleeved cops, with hands and necks getting more and more common.

David Flores Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I was harassed by a cop here in Portland with sleeves was trying to catch people riding the train with no fare on 4th of July. I bought an all day ticket at 9pm to go downtown and came back at 1am train stops running at 230 hence end of day. He threatened to write me a ticket because it was after midnight and I was drunk enough to tell him he was just upset that he was stuck on bus duty and he was fucking wrong. Still not sure how I didn't go to jail that night or even got a ticket.

He was probably intrigued by how accurate your drunken observations were.

AlannaCA Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Here are some pictures you can drool over Stitch! I have to mention Tim Pausinger from Most Preciouse Ink in Coburg, Germany who does amazing palm tattoos. BTW he was also just mentioned in the http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/tattoo-101/739-who-do-you-think-deserves-some-recognition-page11.html thread by martin. the first set of religious hands i thought were really cool! the second set is on the shop manager at Speakeasy Tattoo shop in Toronto. jayessebee and Lochlan 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/577-palm-tattoos/?page=3#findComment-16117 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlannaCA Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 instead of starting a whole other thread for something thats so closely related to the palm, what does everyone think about people getting the sides of their fingers tattooed when they have no other arm or hand tattoos?

Ursula Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 @AlannaCA I have some of mine done, I know a lot of other people who do to, and I really do mean a lot. Most people don't notice mine unless I am handing them something that they need to look at like money and even then it's rare. For me it's totally different then having the tops or palms done because it's so much less noticeable. It's still not something I'd recommend to someone who has no tattoos or who doesn't plan on being heavily tattooed. I didn't get mine until I was already well on my way to being heavily tattooed. I know a lot of tattooers who won't do them on people who aren't already pretty covered, but I also know a lot who will do them on anyone. For me always comes back to, why are you doing it. If it's to look cool or tough by having hand tattoos then don't. If it's because you really want to and know what wearing hand tattoos says to the public then go for it.

Ursula Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Also, people need to stop getting finger mustaches. It's not funny anymore, plus getting a tattoo on your hand as a joke, bad idea. Especially since it's people who don't even have tattoos that are getting them now. Actually even if you have a ton of tattoos or are a tattoo you still look dumb getting a finger mustache these days. I feel kinda bad for everyone who got them before it was cool who now look like shitty hipsters.
