So great! Been itching for a burly reaper tattoo myself.

After seeing this, I thought the same thing. I wants a reapperrrr

If anyone works in the medical career or know anybody that does, what's been the general experience with visible tattoos? I'm in my 2nd to last semester of x-ray school, and the ones on my upper arm don't seem to be an issue even though they show, but I'm still weary of doing any forearm tattoos any time soon

I like the idea of unplanned tattoos. The ones I've gotten so far have had planning and a little more thought, but I really enjoy the thrill of seeing what's drawn up. I plan on doing this on the next couple unless of course the artist would rather have an idea first.

Oh man, some good stories here. Living in spring break central (panama city, fl) it's always fun to people watch while getting tattooed and hearing the crazy ideas and outraged voices when they hear what a good tattoo will cost.

Last tattoo I got, was talking to a mom and her kids during a break and she was about to get a sand dollar on her foot. All you could hear was her screaming the whole time and got so panicked, she farted. Awkwarddd

How about that..Yeah,i really like Shane's work from bk tattoo.I found out about Megan from visiting their facebook page.Darren does real nice work too.So where you planning on traveling to?

Yea shane was a super cool dude, it was a pleasure getting tattooed by him. Same with darren. I'm just waiting to get tattooed by megan because I want her to do some forearm pieces, but I'm still uncertain about touching that spot until I graduate. No clue yet, kind of a blind venture. I just know pay is awesome, and the choice of location is mine so i'm thinking texas and probably the west coast. I've only lived in Alabama/Florida, I've got much to see.

There ya go Lochlan, I don't have any good ones of my other half sleeve. Hopefully soon I can get some.

Yea sure thing, Lochlan. Most of them are posted under the one foot in the grave blog bigjoe posted, but whenever I get home from clinical I'll be sure to get pics up.

I'll most definitely take before and after pics, although it may be a while and I'm still considering my options. It's really not that bad, just something that I always notice. Glad to have found this site, I'm really the only one who's real into tattoos out of my friends (oddly enough) so it'll be nice to chat with everyone and learn even more.

At first I thought tattoos had to be about specific meaning and I'm sure it holds true for some, but the more I get into it, I just want good shit done by worthy artists. It gets tiring when someone's like "why do you have a rose on your arm" or "what's that skull and panther mean"

When I travel, I kinda see it as a timestamp and taking a little piece of the places I travel with me.

Yea man, I was gonna mention them. Darrens done my right and left arm half sleeves and one on my shin. Shane woodward from the shop where megan used to work did my other shin. I've talked to megan about doing some pieces on the rest of my arm and a possible chest piece. I love her stuff.

My first tattoo was the front of my half sleeve and was done by a guy who doesn't work at that shop anymore, not really my style and his ink was cheap so it faded bad and there's no real depth. Darren reworked a good bit of it when did the underside and connected, but I feel like the only saving it is getting a few spots lasered to make it easier to rework. I learned my lesson quick about being ignorant with the artist.

Hey guys, I'm james. I'm from panama city, florida. I'm joining to keep a look out for great artists to get tattooed by when I travel. I'm in the medical field and hoping to sign on to a travel co. when I graduate and hopefully pick up some cool pieces along the way. Also, joined to ask about lasering whenever I get my post count up.
