Many people go out and get tattoos without first thinking clearly about what they are going to get. They will show up at a tattoo parlor and lie back after telling the artist what they want, and once the ink has been put on they often sit forward for a look and are appalled by what they see. The important lesson to take from the experiences of these people is that a tattoo is permanent and getting one that looks bad will haunt you for some time. You should be absolutely clear about what you want the tattoo to look like, as the risks of permanent disfigurement are high.

Before you even step inside a tattoo parlor you should either draw or print out a picture to represent what you want drawn on you. This leaves no room for misinterpretation, something which can happen all too easily, particularly if you ask for something a little more esoteric or intricate than usual. It also gives the artist himself something to work from – just as oils and canvas artists work from photographs a lot of the time.

Tattoos can cost a lot of money, and the more intricate ones can look either excellent or horrific. Avoiding being in the second group requires having a firm idea and communicating it clearly. The more examples you have at your disposal, the better. And if you want a tattoo that is all text, perhaps a quote from a song or a book, write it down and spell it clearly. Typos may be OK in an e-mail to a friend, but on your skin they are another matter.

Damn – this is pretty impressive

wow this is nuts

By now you have probably seen this hilarious tattoo of Denver Broncos Quarterback Tim Tebow on Broncos Fan Juan Contreras upper thigh. Turns out that Juan IS a Broncos fan but didn’t have faith that Tim would deliver the goods. Him and his buddy Josh Lucero had a bet going where if Tebow one four games in a row then Juan would get a “Tebow Time” tattoo and if Tebow won fewer than 5 games then Lucero would get a Tattoo disparaging Tebow.

Turns out Juan counted out the Denver Quarterback too early and took his lost bet like a man. Great to see he has a sense of humor and got a very funny but cool tattoo of Tebow as a Centaur.

Its hilarious to see other people who have bets concerning Tattoos – I myself have  a Tattoo of a flying saucer on the back of the leg thanks to betting with one of my buddies (I lost) but needless to say , revenge will be mine.

Who else out there has a tattoo from losing a bet? Speak up now and let us know what you got.

So by now I am sure that you heard about the story of the girl who cheated on her Tattoo artist boyfriend and then wanted aback piece with art from teh tales of Narina and woke up to find a big doo doo on her back

Well just as I was about to write some big article on even though it is kind of funny as a tattoo artist we have a moral commitment to not do stuff like that ..it turns out some people were not convinced the story was true and did a little digging, turns out the images came from a Polish tattoo site, there is no Ohio case pending in their legal system and the alleged tattoo artist is not on file with the health department of ever working in Ohio. Just goes to show sometimes fiction can be stranger than the truth. Either way it was a GREAT story – ha ha had me fooled

This week I read in the British Newspaper the Daily mail of an ex soldier who every Remembrance Day (11-11) gets the names of some of his fallen comrades Tattooed on himself – he now has over 380 names Tattooed on him with the most recent session on this last Remembrance day having over 40 names done.

What a great way to honor his dead comrades as a living memorial to the troops who have lost their lives in this ongoing war.
