Dan

Hello,
Just a quick introduction.
I'm Kate. I am a collector and work as a bouncer. I'm currently on a couple of other forums, big tattoo planet with the same name and the tattoo forum as kittykat200 in case anyone recognises me.
I'm pretty content with my tattoo knowledge so I wont be harassing people with silly questions, more just looking to meet other enthusiasts and maybe discover some new artists.
I live in south east UK and my next tattoo will be in Perth in December of this year when I go for the first time to visit my best friend.
Looking forward to getting to know you all.
I warn you I am incredibly sarcastic, try not to take offence, there's no harm, it's just my shitty personality! :)

Hi,
I'm Jim Buchanan. I've loved tattoos since I was a child, but never got one -until this year at age 53. Now I'm planning a second one at the beginning of December, and have some plans for others after that. Better late than never!

Hello,
I have discovered this forum few days ago and since then I have read quite a lot of topics and I'm amazed by the friendliness of people here.
I decided to register to be able to add my opinions (occasionally) and ask questions (more likely).
I'm a female, after 30, from the middle of Europe, not native English speaker, please forgive my mistakes.
I got my first tattoo 7 years back, tribal phoenix and I had it improved/partly covered last Friday. There will be one more session after two months, when we can see how it heals and how the colours settle.
I had two more tattoo sessions this year, watercolour sparrow on my inner forearm and small text on the inner ankle.
I plan a tattoo of owl for the next year to add to my sparrow. And I don't think it will be the last one :D

This is my sparrow :)

back in the early 80's it was still cool to pick pieces from the flash on the walls of the shop.

Skull "brought to life".... Sooooo happy with this and my Michael. This is on the inside of my forearm. 3rd tattoo over/in the same spot is NOT fun (Esp. with some bad scars)!

For the child curious about mommy or daddy's tattoos, or for the grown up that loves funny little accessories-the handmade wooden Mini Tattoo Machine! Handmade and hand painted by North Carolina based tattoo artist Emily Rose, she originally designed one for her own daughter to use. Seeing mommy tattooing at work had made the young child want to copy mom so this is what she came up with!
Here is the story and video on the woman who makes them:

I found this product after I saw this Very Important Public Safety Announcement and started searching around:

Here's my family:

Cheers dude

I felt like this has to be posted somewhere on this board, since I can't be the only one who nerds out over stuff like this: BBC One - Life Story, Courtship, Pufferfish 'crop circles'
Pufferfish mandala. Animals are amazing.

I and my husband have a one cat :) big fluffy cat which name is Belfegor (abbreviated - Belfik). Animal was take from street and brought to home where we fed and treated cat.
And if Belfik like that:

Now like this:

started today...finish next month...

piss poor excuse for a picture of the actual tattoo, I'll get you guys a better one when it's healed and not completely crusty.

Just catching up. It's good to see you back on here. And I'm sorry for what you are going through.

Wow, the appropriate words that accurately address this post would likely get me banned. I'll just cut to the chase and ask, why do you feel the need to act like a douche all the time? Perhaps you should keep your misery to yourself instead of trying to bring the world down to your level.
Is this type of bullying is acceptable here in LST?
And to @tattooscience, don't take his unwarranted attack personally. It appears by your posts that you've done nothing wrong and are clearly not the problem here.

Hello and welcome. That's cool that you have work from all over. I really like the space cover up in your gallery since I'm a lifelong space buff (and former NASA employee).

I was a member of the recovery team for Apollo 14.Im getting some space themed stuff too.

I got a horror short story published in a collection by female horror writers. Not been around much, as have been concentrating a lot on my writing.

My wife called me a serial killer wanna be more than once. Must be the shaved head and goatee that goes well with the tattoos.

I say bring on the stares,I like the attention,I like when people look at my tattoos,I get stares,and like Colored guy said,I get a lot of people turning their heads,as if I am a serial axe murderer and I will get 'em if they look ! LOL

so it does turn out great when you tell the artist to do what they want,this is what Alycia Harr at Classic Tattoo in Grass Valley California did on my upper arm/shoulder.I just got it finished on Monday ,I am very happy with it..
