Started a piece on my whole left side two days ago, going from the side of my thigh until the back of my shoulder. I have no idea which pants to wear today, yesterday I staid at home without any.

I was 14 and on holiday in Spain. I forgot the name of the studio, it was somewhere in Alicante. Just went in there, chose a design from the book (a 2" red rose) and got it on my shoulder. Since I didn't speak Spanish I had no idea about the aftercare. The guy didn't even ask for my ID. It's covered now, with a huge piece which is even worse (because I did that when I was 18 and super smart, like everyone that age). The next was at the age of fifteen, a tribal on my stomach that I drew by myself. It wasn't until a few years later when someone pointed out that it has a swirl in the middle which looks like a pretzel.. Yeah well, pretzel-belly. I lasered it several times to get it covered, but until now I have no idea with what to cover a stupid tribal going across my belly -.-

Seven hours with two cigarette breaks on my chest. But then again, I was 20 and much less sensitive than now. About three hours are the top now, without cheating.

Thanks for the warm welcome! :) Yes, I know Tattoo Nouveau, about a decade ago I got my chestpiece done there by Chriss Dettmer before he opened his own shop. Since then I hadn't been there, but remember that the overall quality there is superb! I work at Jungbluth Tattoo in Hamburg under the wing of Luis Bruna. Sadly, there are pics on the homepage I'm not proud of, most of them were taken months ago. The guy who takes care of the page isn't the fastest one :rolleyes:

People entering the shop, saying: "Tattoo." Okay, buddy. Let's hear a full sentence, please.

Hello everyone! I'm obviously new here, and quite new to tattooing as well. A friend referred me to this site as I'm always looking for insight, critique and new faces of course. I've started my apprenticeship in May last year and have been tattooing in Hamburg, Germany since then. One thing I didn't find in the rules - Is it okay to post tattoo pictures in my profile right away or should I wait a bit? I don't want to be rude or something. Oh, and please bare with my English as it is my second language and I might not understand everything right away, especially slang terms... Thanks in advance :)
