Tomorrow's the big day & my bottle is twitching mightily. I'm off for my first ink, found a nice place with nice people & a good rep. Here's the design they've done for me, going on left bicep.
Wish me luck. |

Not to worry! Shouldn't be any big deal on the bicep. Have this on my left thigh.
What's the flag design to the left of the Union Jack? And Good Luck!! (Message edited by balloyd66 on October 05, 2010) |

Breton, my wife's Breton & I've been living here for 15 years, it's more home to me than the UK now, & as we're moving away for a few years I want to take a bit of it with me. |

Sweet design! B/W and colour together should be fun artistically, and to look at. Mebbe one day I'll get inked. Got a great artist and friend in town, always been tempted to do an Escher design of some sort... "The Needle and the Damage Done"... |

Not to be critical- You might shorten the B/W flag a bit, work in the UJ sooner- in my mind you're gonna have a banner/streamer more than a flag... Otherwise, really kewl, friend!!! |

Looks good, Innes!! It is going scab up; fight the urge to itch/pick at it. Congrats! |

Yup, I'm very pleased with the results. Guy called Franck did it while Virginie, his business partner, also a tattooist who does piercing as well, & I discussed Rockabilly & Northern Soul music. Good people. http://atomiktattoo.wordpress.com/ Thanks for your comments. |

use A+D ointment WITHOUT zinc, and itll be good, and will barley scab up ...i say NO zinc cause that WILL dry out that tattoo and basically peal off the whole thing in a giant scab. LOOKS GREAT!! Jake |

Plenty of room for a "Pegasus" pennant on that flagpole, whenever the mood hits you.

Got Panthenol & Calendula based cream, special for tat's. Funny, everybody now tells me I'll be getting more. Wifey doesn't know yet, & as I'll not likely see her for at least a couple of weeks it'll be all good by the time she claps eyes on. She know's I've been talking about getting it done, & said she might have one too, but everybody said it would hurt a lot. I told her that I'd tell her after I'd had one done. That's how the subject was left last time we talked about it. |

Just get one of these for her birthday and you'll have a trump card for life. It only took 45 minutes, and it's already gotten me out of jail free half a dozen times.

Cool, Trouble is she'd want to know who Gretchen is. |

LOL! When Smiley got done with it, he asked me, "how do you spell Gertrude again?" |

I'm ready for some new ink, just need to find the time and money. Your first one looks good and at least it isn't the size of a 50p coin (typical first tattoo) |

Innes, I told Gretchen what you said, and she almost sprayed coffee through her nose! |
