It feels horrible! I've got a lot of ink in various places and there's definately no sugar coating the ribs ;) To top it off, that sucker hit my hip bone and part of my arm pit :bawl:

:bawl: I agree, it sucks! :bawl:

Hey guys, quick question regarding tattoos and stretch marks. Can you get ink over stretch marks, or is that a massive no-go?
The stuff I just had done went right over a couple stretch marks I have on my shoulder near my arm pit (you can see them faintly in the photo, they're vertical in the pic and run upwards into the anomalocaris' tail).

Artist didn't say anything, but that area was fairly sensitive.

It may be an issue depending on design, placement, and size. Talk to a reputable artist, they'll undoubtedly know the limitations.

Well seeing that I am in the mood to get another tattoo I figured I would post up my first tattoo. I got it when I was 30 ( now 34).

Brief explanation behind it.

My b-day is June 21st and so I am "on the fence" between Gemini and Cancer, Depending where you read up on it. I take after both. So I figured I wanted something that represents both. So you have the twins ( Gemini) and they are standing over the cancer symbol. ( my wife doesn't mind that I have women tattooed on me, lol.)

I might get one in a few months once I turn 35 just cause. I am thinking some kind of Bass Clef design. Just gotta find something I like.

lots of progress for a months worth of sessions. should be fully shaded touched up and looking more like a sleeve and less like stamps by the end of april to mid may
 
That bomb looks awesome. I can't wait till I can get ink. Starting off with System of Down's first album (self titled) cover, then onto a bass cleff with strings tuners etc inside it. I've been trying to find a pic similar to the bass cleff design I want, but can't find anything, a good thing in my mind.

And for the people advising against tattoo's when your young, I've though a LOT about these and both designs are a massive part of my life (so far).
