Tattoos

[gbougard]

@Max:

I've been thinking about getting the four bars logo from Black Flag over my ellbow for a while now. Still undecided, as it would be my first tattoo…

I say go for it, but dont make it too big. Why?You're likely going to get addicted to this shit and will want more stuff on your skin, and you gotta make sure that the following tattoos will be in harmony with that first one if that first one is BIG and kinda dictates how the rest will look and feel. If it is smaller, less real estate is taken, less influence on the rest, etc…

My good friend Thomas Hooper in the guardian.  I have quite a few tattoos from him, as well as his paintings hanging in my home.

Interesting article, but I have to admit, my first thought upon reading it was, "How did Mario Barth find enough blank space on Tommy Lee to do 5 hours worth of work?"

I'm planning on getting my first tattoo soon, will check out some stores this weekend. Anything special I should care for/regard? I'm a complete noob on tats, but Hamburg offers a lot of shops, so I'm quite confused…

[riffblaster general]

just make sure you know what you want.  katsushin would be a good person to ask.

cool Max! good luck on your first tattoo

[Max Power]

Thanks guys. I'm sure about the motives (I got two in consideration and maybe will get both after a while), but it freaks me out a bit, not to be sure if it looks the way I want it to. So I hope I pick the right artist… will let you know when it happened.

septicsef is in germany and knows quite a few tattoo artists over there.  maybe he could point you in the right direction?  when i get tattooed its either one of two ways….
1.  i go in knowing exactly what i want and its been planned out and we work on finishing the plan.
2.  i didnt even plan to get tattooed and i get the first thing someone sitting within 5 feet of me thinks of.  i ended up with some really ridiculous tattoos like that.

^nr. 2 sounds, well, special I think Nr. 1 will do for me. And thanks for the hint, I'll contact him.
