                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…

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

                          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.

                                Thinking about getting my first tattoo as well… as a kind off gift for finishing my study!

                                I really don't know where to put it though since i've got a few spots on my mind (chest, shoulder, upper arm, lat or leg)...

                                i'd love to do some maori kinda thing if it comes to putting the tattoo on my upper arm or leg (thigh and/or calf)!

                                the chestpiece would look like two birds/angel wings holding a banner with a meaningful sentence in it!

                                and if i'm going to put it on the lat, then it would be something like the praying hands!

                                so what would you guys suggest as a first tattoo (i know i'll get more later on  🙂 )

                                thx in advance!

                                  I wouldn't get the praying hands, if you want to hear my opinion… But the other stuff sounds good, at least if the sentence is really meaningful 😉

                                    yeah the praying hands was my first idea a few months ago, cuz i actually wanted to add some things mentioning my grandparents which past away a few years back.
                                    but i'll see what i'll end up with…

                                      Finn….  find a good artist & talk to them.  Figure out what means the most to you and work out the details.  If the artist isn't willing to take the time with you, then find another one who is.

                                      Do not rush into anything.  I know it's hard not to but it's something worth taking your time with.  Trust me, I found that out the hard way.

                                      I know sometimes it's hard to edit down the ideas.  Trust me, though...  once you get your first you'll want your second almost immediately.

                                      Enjoy the process and good luck!
