A good reason for abortion or contraception. Tony Parsons makes me ashamed to be British or even a member of the same species for that matter.

My tattoo by Nikki Balls today. Fun time & great tattoo.

@Stewart Robson I said to @Jade1959, today, you would know. Many thanks for the info. The new one by Valerie is lovely, picked up one today.

I just posted a picture of one of my appointment cards on Latest Tattoo Lowdown. @MadeIndelible posted a picture of one of his from Spider Murphy. Theres some really nice artwork on these cards. Does anybody else keep their cards? I'll get the ball rolling with a couple of mine. 2011 & 2012 from Frith Street. I don't know who did the artwork on these, but I'll try and find out.

@MadeIndelible I'm getting an Indian squaws head on my leg. 3pm Thats a great card btw.

@Tim Burke Those appointment cards are the dogs bollocks. If I remember I'll ask who did the artwork.

Tomorrow with Nikki Balls.

Just got a notification that mine has been shipped. Six to 10 working days via UPS, to get to the UK. :)

Personally speaking, in the final analysis. it's all about the tattoo. That's all you will be left with long after the memory, about the experience, fades. It's a bonus if getting the tattoo is a nice experience, but for me, its not a deal breaker. Edit- I said it's all about the tattoo but..... Saturday week I have got an appointment with Doc Price in Plymouth. Doc has been tattooing since the 1950's. I'm not getting a tattoo from him because he's the best out there but because he is part of tattooing history in the UK. He tattooed a pal of mine, in the 1970's.

@sboyer That's just made my day. 300 pages!! So excited about getting this book.

@Dan S I saw that one on Instagram. I couldn't really appreciate how good it is on the small screen on my phone. Nice story behind the tattoo as well, thanks for sharing.

Just added to my follow list.:)

[MENTION=147]gougetheeyes[/MENTION] I've just checked out some of the other label designs. They are something else. I soaked and peeled off the label from that bottle of lager and brought it home.

I just love the shading on that skull.

I re-wrapped a tattoo once never again. I will never forget the smell when I removed the wrapping several hours later. It had the smell of death. The last time I smelt something like that was when I opened a packet of minced beef that had "gone off". You can heal tattoos by using sarin wrap. I believe burns are healed this way. The wrapping needs to be changed at least three or more times a day. The only thing I use sometimes, and thats only on lower leg tattoos is a very fine tubular gauze for a couple of days (it's to keep cats hairs away from the tattoo). The tattoo can breathe and if the gauze sticks to the tattoo a little warm water loosens it, no problem. Personally I can't see the benefits of re-wrapping a tattoo with sarin wrap but each to their own.

That is one beautiful car.

@Tim Burke Now thats what I call an eagle. I bet @Valerie Vargas really enjoyed doing that one.

@steve1461686340 Yep I was just directed to the rules page. :)

Call me old fashioned.

But I did send you some nice pictures of food.

That is stunning! Tattoo's not bad either ;)

Just stumbled upon this on YouTube about these co-joined twins. A pair of remarkable young women.

I love it. It's on Android now. My username is jade1955 and the other halfs is jade1959.

[MENTION=675]Iwar[/MENTION]. I mentioned you to Bailey. He remembered you and commented what a great collection of tattoos you have.

I agree with @bulldog Because it is just the outline less surface area of your skin is affected so it should be healed well enough. However I would stay away from sarin wrap as it will trap sweat & bacteria. Your new tattoo needs the air to get to it to heal. So I wouldn't worry too much. Just out of interest, why do they have to throw coloured corn starch powder over you? For future reference pre-planning your tattoo sessions to fit in with other activities is allways a good idea if you can. We've all been there. Last year I booked two lower leg tattoos a couple of days before the London Tattoo Convention. After walking around all day my legs swelled up so much I had to take two days off work.
