I was browsing a few archived posts and saw a thread for showing off your tattoos. That was a couple of years ago and now with a load of new members I thought it'd be nice to start another thread to show off a bit of body art. Here are my 2...
This is my late wife. Shown with cards and poker chips because we met across a virtual poker table. So many players playing so many games, and I unwittingly 'sat down' with a total stranger that I would end up marrying! Fate is so strange... 
And this is just an alternative take on a Welsh dragon. It started out as a simple 'Made in Wales' rubber stamp, but evolved into this...

I was well happy with the portrait of my wife. The artist was a bit worried about taking it on because he said it would normally be twice that size to get a good likeness. But he's won international awards for his portrait work so I trusted he could pull it off. And even he was impressed with it and he actually took this photo himself for his portfolio.
The design was all mine using one of the literally thousands of photos I took of my wife and some card and chip images 'borrowed' from the net. :) I had the tat done when we found out she was terminal because I wanted her to see it for herself. :)
Might end up going back to the same guy to get Roxy done. |

you ask around reputible studios in around or outwith your town... every artist has a style they predominantly work with... you will find some do portrait and it looks spot on. xx |

can imagine! That looks brilliant though so worth the pain I hope. Each of mine took 3 hours and the dragon in particular was getting rather sore by the end... |

I like the idea of the handprints. I was absolutely walking on the moon when my kids were born and only had their names inked onto me.
Wish I had something like that done, they are a bit bigger now though.
UV tattoo is the next one for me I think, after I've had the devil womans name covered up as well.  |

Lol,you though you were on the allotment site and it was a thread about tata's didn't you! 
I have 2 tattoos and have more planned. Seen a nice tribal bat design,would also like a butterfly and surprise surprise,I'm thinking a snake tatt would be nice.
Had mine done ages ago,I have one on my arm taken from my fave Alice Cooper album and another on my shoulder blade of a ****atiel I owned years ago who I still miss terribly. |

I have 5, got pics on PB but am too lazy right now to find them.
I did want more but would rather spend the money on new snakes right now! |

Won't let me see that last one but you got some serious artwork there! Most impressive.
I'd quite like another one but I don't know of what, and I don't want to get one for the sake of it coz it needs to mean something to me! |

I dont have individual photos of my work. It would take too much time hahaha. I have my palm tattooed, hand tattooed, fingers tattooed, I have a full arm sleeve, the majority of my left arm tattooed (its about to be sleeved up too) I have the back of my calf tattooed and the whole bottom of my other leg tattooed. I have kneck tattooes and back ones too. I have chest tattoos too. Those who are on my FB will have seen them all. I will try and source down photos for here. xx |
