TattooedMumma

very true :) and I love it when the tattoo is personalised to the couple (be them friends, relatives or lovers) and not just a generic obvious stamp of "hey we have a bond". my sisters and I almost agreed on the generic sisters in the infinity symbol, and its purely because the middle one is so fucking flaky we cant get her to agree on anything. the eldest and I have very similar tastes. glad we haven't got them yet in a way!

oh that is awesome!!! I am excited to see more progress so can only imagine how you must feel!

all I know is im going for thighs next! going in during the week to discuss my ideas and see what they draw for me. I have some ideas one set will be thighs and the other feet. its just a matter or=f which ideas where :)

you go to who ever is going to execute that particular style the best. some artists are awesome at portaits, others love traditional,etc.

I m also going to blame pinterest. as addicted as I am to that fuckin site. there are so many shitty tattoos being repinned over and over. one sheila I knew went on a tattoo spree- getting about 7 really common pinterest tattoos in a very short time frame. think infinity symbol, peterpan and wendy and the crew flying out behind her ear, a small elephant family and sdome other dumb ones. nothing altered. just "here I found this on pinterest, put it on me" type thing. I like pinterest and whatever- but I can see how its having a negative flow with tattoos too. im too tired to bother trying to make sense so I hope somebody out there is able to understand my drivel....

cant wait to see!!

not as yet but my sisters and I have discussed doing the whole sister tattoo thing. only two of us can agree on some ideas- so that and the fact I live in a different state to them... I don't see it happening real soon! I have considered getting an axe on my ring finger for my husband.... he has mentioned doing something too- but no names!

welcome! how long have you been tattooing for? pet peeves? what is your favourite tattoo style ? what tattoos do you have?

LOVE!!! my god they are beautiful!!

if the tattoos themselves are done well it will look great. if they are shit tattoos done by a shitty person- then they will look like shit no matter how similar in style they are. that's how I see it anyway :) I love the idea of having a little bit of everything, showing appreciation for different styles and having them done by artists who are able to execute them well.

sewing- using my husbands late grandmothers singer ( 1951.) first electric and has a knew crank, BUT the motor is stuffed so I have been hand cranking and LOVE it. also fixing up an early 1950's Pinnock sewing machine. this one is a treadle and was made in Lithgow at their small arms factory.

humpday drinks alone .....

I recently read on instagram a tattooist write something along the lines of doing tatty zappin- it just sounded really immature. something I would have expected to hear from young boys in early high school trying to sound cool...

I have 7 butterflies on my right hip and for the past 10years (shit!! did NOT realise it had been that long!) have been trying to decide what sort of bug or insect to but on the left. Have tossed between lady bugs, dragonflies, moths, spiders..... I like the idea of having something like a bunch of spiders on that side . something not so cutesy :)

I was wondering about random spasms too after a friend spoke about involuntary foot spasm while having her upper arm done - she said it was just this one spot and her foot would jerk even when she held her leg down.

no worries feel free to delete this

charge extra? what a knob he is....

I thought we could post pics of upside down tattoos here :) I have seen so many names on wrists upside down but this..... wow....

you know you have to show us now!!! - - - Updated - - - thanks everyone for sharing their pics! love them all! I have decided to swap my ideas- will have my owl and raccoon on my feet instead and put my nautical ideas on my things ( was going to put my nautical ideas on my feet) I want more detail in my nautical ones and the thighs will be the best spot for it. anyone else have issues with indecisiveness when deciding on their thighs?? I have gone back and forth between the two so many times- but now im sold this time :)

thanks I will do that! - - - Updated - - - sounds good! I will look it up- yes can imagine good tattoos getting in the way of "good" tv.... - - - Updated - - - yeah that's him! Ami. the carey hart show- yeah inked I think you're right, and my god yes- talk about bad customer service... unless of course the customer is a dancer.... one snip I saw yesterday was about a lady wanting her leg painted. it was an artificial leg and he said he would have it 2 days tops- did nothing until the last minute which was months later and had this whole attitude about having to do it and her wanting her leg back. tosser.

Haha! I think it was La ink? Bald bloke was the main man .... I ended up watching some of that Kat Sheila .... What's with her hat fetish? I also watched an episode of what ever it was called.... Has Carey hart in it. That wa pretty bad too..... Like you said - it was loving to hate it :) I don't have pay tv at home so had never watched any of these shows. Can't say I feel like I'm missing out !

so I have never seen any of these shows on tv and decide a google search... my god this one I found has it all... drama, super meaningful tattoos and even a bloke who wants backwards writing so when he looks in the mirror.... Fuck me dead..... - - - Updated - - - sorry- there was a link but it failed... I will try again

another that id like to see once finished! thanks for sharing it with us @Moist Towelette

cant wait to see more progress shots!

Love it @ironchef! thanks for sharing :) would love to see your other thigh when its done too, I like that idea
