even the "O" and "Q" are wrong on that tattoo font. Thanks, I'm gonna be checking every sign I see from now on ....

This is fascinating stuff, something else to obsess about

Maybe the artists I know are more confident in their abilities to put on a good tattoo regardless of style. A tattooist should be able to pick up all types of work imo . There's always a preferred style but they should be good enough artists to pick up the bread and butter work. The artists I speak to all have 3 month + waiting lists but they would not knock back anything, they would consult with you and advise you how they envisioned the piece . If you dont like it then you dont need to put your deposit down , you can go elsewhere. I cant see whats unprofessional or unethical about that ? I think it goes without saying that most users of this forum are very discriminating in their choices and take tattoos very seriously else we wouldnt be here discussing it, we'd be down the local kitchen getting some cool olde english script up our forearms , so no its not "different" .... I think you are being contrary ... http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/contrary

ooft ... I dont know any Tattooer who would knock back work in this day and age. Send you to another shop ???!! No chance !! They might refer you to another artist within the same shop (maybe ...) . Its a buyers market up there and its up to the artists to keep their skills up ...

this is the tune thats stuck in my head the most these days ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbfggJHQeOE

Get what you want tattooed by whoever you want in whatever style you want. Who cares if it lasts or not . Its a personal and individual thing.

@Duffa very true ! funny thing is I didnt even think about it when I wrote it ....

One of em's carrying a fart shield which seems to do the trick. awesomeness.

ooh Lab Monkey is not far from me in Stirling ...

Its more about self determination and equality tho ?? Look at history and tell me how often in the past that other "races" (i hate that term too...) have been treated equally by imperialist white masters for fucks sake , you still had segregation in the US within the last 50 years !!! So why the fuck are you complaining about the "pride" thing ???? Your posts are nonsense you cant justify anything by saying "Everyone in the world is racist to some extent" you want some dip to go with that chip on your shoulder ?

Its not the sun wheel , its a celtic cross, the sunwheel is slightly different.

Think its supposed to represent a Celtic Cross similar to what the Crusaders wore/carried when they done their bit for peace in the middle east ... http://gbgm-umc.org/umw/anti-hate/symbolsofhate.html

Depends , Cask strength needs water theres no point drinking it otherwise. I take some water if Im drinking Islay malts too like Laphroag etc, I drink Highland malts and Speysides neat. I like soda water (or ginger ale!) with blended whiskey and coke with my bourbon lol oh yeah and y'all need to try a Whiskey Mac (if you havent already) half whiskey , half green ginger wine it tastes awesome and fucks you up good.

I enjoyed Tinker, Tailor, It sucked me right in. I hope they remake the other 2 Karla Trilogy books. Anyone seen the Rum Diary yet ?

I dont watch NYInk , the only episode I saw was Ami kicking the shit out of someone, however, cant stop watching Ink Master lol its like a guilty pleasure. Nunez seems out of his depth tho .

Pure sillyness

When was a copper ever professional anyway? Anyone managed to tune into the UK tv prog "Coppers" yet ? it quite good and confirms the theory that most (UK) cops are pricks ... they should be recommending better artists tho all that macho blackwork is just annoying lol Sorry off on a tangent there.

In both Rome and Naples theres a good chance you'll see discarded wallets lying on the ground in the touristy bits . I wish I had got to a football game when I was in Naples as they have a huge stadium , I dont think they are doing as well as they used to be tho , I think its one of those unofficial "fan-run" set ups tho

Out of all the places in Italy I visited, Naples was deffo the scariest one. Theres a definite darkness about Naples compaired to Rome etc. Felt like everyone was out to rip me off, its intense and the roads are mental (wait for the nuns to cross all traffic stops for nuns) Maaassive museum tho well worth seeing tho and its not far from Pompeii and Herculaneum which are must see. Herculaneum is better than Pompeii imo.

Foxes dressed in human clothes and the usual name up inner arm in olde english. I think hand tattoos on non-tattooed ppl are going to be even more prominent. And whatever the next big pop star decides to get tattooed on them. I'd love a wizard tattoo , heres my fave , by Franz Stefanik :
