And I know a man who has a big Marijuana leaf on his neck- he wonders why he cant get a job???

giantkatestacks, what kind of thing are you looking to have done? There's loads of brilliant artists in London - Evil From The Needle in Camden is fantastic, great staff and premises; Frith Street Tattoo does lovely new school/traditional style; I hear Flamin' Eight are good, also New Wave Tattoo...seriously, the choice is massive

NorbertDentressangle · 01/07/2009 13:56

Another pet hate of tattoos is when someone has one of a famous person as it never looks anything like the person.

eg. Jodie Marsh's Michael Jackson tattoo (sorry DM link)

ThePhantomPlopper · 01/07/2009 14:03

God what is wrong with that woman?! Why on Earth would you get a MJ tattoo and why is she that funny colour?

MamaG · 01/07/2009 14:04

God Jodie Marsh is such a cock isn't she

Does anybody watch Miami Ink? I love it, its fascinating! Idon't have now, nor will i ever, have a tattoo btw

SparklyGothKat · 01/07/2009 14:06

MayorNaze · 01/07/2009 14:06

has anyone been so transfixed in horror by someones tattoo that they have actually followed the person round peering at them just to mke sure it is what you think it is?

not me of course

(disclaimer:i actually like tattoos. but only mine. and dhs)

cyteen · 01/07/2009 14:07

Norbert, most portraits are pretty cruddy, true...but check out [[http://www.bobtyrrell.com/galleries/portraits.php Bob Tyrell] for examples of portraits that actually look like people.

MayorNaze · 01/07/2009 14:08

(add to disclaimer - and SparklyGothKats - they are beautiful! you obv have a v talented tattoo person )

cyteen · 01/07/2009 14:09

Arse, sorry, Bob Tyrell.

Oh the shame of cocking up a link...it burns far worse than having a tattoo ever could

SparklyGothKat · 01/07/2009 14:09

GingerIgnoramus · 01/07/2009 14:11

You have beautiful children SGK- beautiful.

Am loving the DM for the quote 'jodie, who has no discernible talent...'

No other reason I should point out.

GingerIgnoramus · 01/07/2009 14:12

lol at this

"Jodie, who has no discernible talent",

Thankfully you are ginger and so your opinion can be instantly disregarded

GingerIgnoramus · 01/07/2009 14:13

I also liked their "increasingly freakish looking Jodie". They were spot on there.

VinegarTits · 01/07/2009 14:15

Jodie Marsh, for a minute there i thought that was Pete Burns

MayorNaze · 01/07/2009 14:16

wow! you expect old guys to be doing the old blue ink style pop eye type tatts, not tasteful modern ones. really good work

notwavingjustironing · 01/07/2009 14:17

this thread is one of the funniest I've read for ages.

I have no tattoos nor any desire for one so probably have no business here anyway but stil, PMSL.

cyteen · 01/07/2009 14:18

GI, indeed you can't

SparklyGothKat · 01/07/2009 14:26

Have to admit to staring at one tattoo yesterday, it was a badly 'joint' tattoo on a mum's arm...

cyteen · 01/07/2009 14:31

I saw a woman sat outside a pub in town yesterday who had 'Royal Bitch' tattooed across her cleavage in rather nice flowing script.
