love that rose @sbhikes :)

i'm going to ask my next client if she would rather i did it in my underwear. I do get paid extra for that though right?

since posting i decided bugger it and am just going to get as many as i want anyway haha.. so i think maybe another two on my left arm.. theres not much space left on there. A pin up on my right forearm which is totally tattoo free at the moment! i'd really like a blonde girl head :) i'm hoping for some more animal tattoos too.. a panther and tiger for sure. you cant really go wrong. If in doubt...panther!

a bottle of lucozade, a bottle of irn bru, a black pudding roll and some codiene based painkillers and you'll be right as rain!

friggin loving 'free hugs' my mum would have an absolute melt down... tempted to get someone to write on my knuckles for me just to see her reaction haha

it sounds beautiful though! Besides you are just a regular lady.. a regular lady with pretty things on her body :)

in a nutshell :P

no they don't and besides if i get the ones i want done this year done in the next few months they'll be healed up by the time the sun finally pokes around a cloud in sunny scotland!

Random appointment set up with an Artist Guesting at Red Hot and Blue for Thursday.. for a pin up style mermaid! MUST STOP GETTING TATTOOED

its got me thinking of doing something on my lower back.. and was advised to do it with a view to having the top of my back worked on later in life and join them up.. oh how i love a new tattoo idea!!!

@ChrisvK that sounds just about perfect. Can This thread also be used for mumbling shite in when your sleeping tablets hav taken affect but not knocked you out yet ??

All this back session talk is giving me back piece envy!

Thanks for this Kyle! I think i'll give them a call on Tuesday when they are open... gallery looks great and i've never visited Liverpool.. love a wee tattoo roadtrip so i do!

http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/gallery/showimage2.php?i=13964&catid=member&imageuser=5080 So i'm still epically failing at being able to include images in my post....i should probably go and read the instructions or something *hangs head in shame* This is a cover up of a colour realism piece i had started and never finished. It wasnt a bad tattoo as such.. it just wasn't me. I'm SO pleased with the progress of the cover so far.. can't wait to see him once he's done! Being done by Dan Hartley at Cock A Snook Tattoo in Newcastle :)

i'm with @else ... as a woman who has a naturally slow metabolism..my weight fluctuates quite a lot.. add into the equation i have a fair bit of junk in my trunk i'm naturally prone to lumps and bumps... i'd rather they were gorgeously tattooed lumps and bumps though :) everyone is different though of course though @sbhikes and tis your right to not be tattooed wherever you please! I will eventually have a sleeve but it's made up of individually done traditional style pieces which i will then bring together with some fillers. I'm almost certain you will be able to make out each individual piece :)

if i could do my job in my undercrackers i would without a seconds thoughts.. however ladies who get their nails done generally dont want to see your knickers.. i assume!

I don't want to digress from the point of the post.. however since i started getting tattooed my style has changed, i wear different clothes in a different style. I'd say i show more skin then i used to. Not really to show off my tattoo's (which i am totally in love with and so proud of) but because i'm more comfortable in my own skin now i think... and men with shaved legs can be pretty hawt if you ask me :P

Ello @Mark Bee I was thinking along the lines of a feather headband which apparently (according to my full and conscise knowledge of Native American culture from one google search ;) ) could be worn by women. Then the man I would like to have a full feather war bonnet. I am getting things because I like how they look but if I can stick somewhat to history then that's a bonus! - - - Updated - - - I would LOVE a pin up. I need to find an artist who is really experienced with them. I'm thinking perhaps Paul Slifer here in Edinburgh however if anyone has any UK suggestions that would be most fantabulous. Gonna have to slow Down my collection. I don't want to fill up precious space too quickly !

i just love them, and i love how different they are from artist to artist. i suppose thats why lady heads are a traditional tattoo in the first place... women are attractive to look at.. why not cover your body in attractive things :) Thanks guys!

telling people to sod off is something i'm gonna need to start doing more often!

Ok so i'm pretty sure i know what the majority of answers to my question will be... and REALLY i don't/shouldn't care what other people think as its my body etc etc however i'm going to ask anyway. Interested to hear peoples opinions! I currently have 4 lady head tattoo's, I would love to get an american indian girlhead with traditional female headdress and an American Indian cheif with full male headdress.. perhaps incorperated into one piece on my flank. Upper back is pretty off limits because of my awful adult acne... would i be shooting myself in the foot as it were for a future large back piece if it should suddenly clear up? Anyhoo i digress.. I would also like a warrior style lady head wearing a panther upon her head... So my question is.. can you have TOO many lady heads? is there anything wrong with just getting all the tattoo's that you want without worrying too much about them being 'samey'? I'm trying to toughen things up a bit with a wolf i have on my left leg and now a Gorilla on my left upper arm.. i have plans for a snake on my leg too which should break it up a little.. Any opinons other than shut the h*ll up and get tattoo's that you want and don't feel the need to ask other people? Thanks in advance lovelies :)

this is SO awesome!

I think this is probably the next move for my arm... i find anything on the inside arm to be a bit of a pain to heal purely because of the rubbing on stuff... im currently itching on both thighs and upper arm. so glad it isnt warm here yet!!

i spent pretty much all day wednesday getting tattooed (slightly dramatic it was about 7.5 hours all in) and i felt like i had been actually hit by a bus yesterday. Was absolutely fine getting tattooed. Expected to really struggle but it was fine but when i woke up the next morning. Wow. i have a face full of coldsores so i spent most of yesterday resting and trying to eat good food. i'm now healing 3 relatively large tattoos at the same time so it'll be interesting to see if this has an effect on how well and how long i take to heal!
