Tattoo journey coming to end

[Worried198423]

I got a new tattoo today and I feel it may be my last.
I j7st don't have the energy anymore.
The pain is getting worse.
I can't get comfortable.
As much as I love gettting tattooed
,I think this might be it.

I have something similar to this. It took about 2.5hrs and cost about £250.

That is so pretty!

Similarly, my tattooist's rate for a full day is £540.

Yeah, I think he's about average price wise. Some of his tattoos are amazing and he is getting a bit of a reputation so I think he'll start upping his prices.

I think we need a ZOMBIE tattoo.

Oh, that is just lovely. So pretty. Like a pressed flower.

Thank you. It is in memory of my mother who passed 2 years ago

Memorial tattoos are a great comfort.

l think you might be right- because the pain is part of the appeal of tattoos. ln the South Pacific where tattoos were invented the pain is really the whole point of it- it's a rite of passage.

That is absolutely beautiful.

Thank you. Its by a Korean tattoo artist called Joo Young. She specialises in delicate flower tattoos.

You know most of those “young radical individuals” will be over 50 one day?!

And?

I’ve seen a video of a place in Thailand where people they use numbing cream or even a full general anaesthetic to be tattooed. The ones under general anaesthetic have up to six artists working on them at once and they wake up and they’ve had a full front and sleeves etc.

@pinkyredrose I didn’t think I would need to spell it out, but the PP was claiming tattoos look cool on young people but chavvy on old people.

I was merely pointing out that the same people she is referring to as chavvy were once “young and cool”

With all due respect, so fucking what? You needed to point out younger people with tattoos become older people with tattoos? Really?

Ok I think i was too harsh there. Apologies.
