I think with tattoo's the bigger the better just make sure it's what u want! Normally small tattoo's can be coverd up easily. Having mine coloured in next Saturday got a 5 hour sitting should get half of it done! I've got a jap koi on my lower leg takes up most of it not looking foward to the colouring on my shinn bone.

i think you could make it smaller & have more intricate detail.

i do not have anything yet, but have one in mind i want i just need to think of how i am going to have it done & some more things to go on it.

i love big tats - especially if they are well done!

i have several, and don't plan on stopping anytime soon:

on my upper back, i have an out-line of a two-tailed "kitsune", or japanese fox, whose tails go from fur to flame to water. kitsune's are fire-based folklore creatures, however i'm a pisces, which is water based, so i wanted to combine the two as well as my love of japanese folklore. i custom commissioned this from a favorite artist of mine. dunno when ill get around to colouring it. below that were my first tattoos, japanese kanji. i originally was going to get it all up my spine but got bored halfway Laughing

oh, and, erm, i have hebrew on my left as cheek that says d'li, or "bucket", which is my sisters and mines nickname for each other, she has the same tat in the same place. pardon my arse!

on my right upper thigh i have 4 paw prints - yellow, blue, red & black.. the primary colors + black. they are years old, and yes, they need touching up. no, im not gonna bother!

on my inner wrists, i have a rat and a ferret in art-nouveau style by another favorite artist i commissioned (and is henceforth my new tattoo artist.. but the not the actual inker tho!)

upcoming tattoos: 1. a "tagua"-style featuring a bird (me), jaugar (best friend) and horse (bf) intertwined to be done on my upper stomach, right below/between my breasts. 2. a gryphon in the Haida art style of the northwestern native americans going on the back of my calf (forget if its gonna go on left or right.). this tattoo i will share with my best friend, as its our "matching" tattoo - about time, after more than 13 years of friendship.

I love tattoos, a friend of mine is covered in them but i just cant bring myself to have one for fear of hating it in the future as im only 25!

Hi,

I'm a apprentice served tattooist and have a fair few tats, mostly black and grey but some tribal and portrait stuff,

if you think your tat is naff then the best thing you can probably do is cover or change it with a quality tattooist

cheers

Ian

just got my newest ink on my back right calf. my best friend has the same one on the opposite leg facing the other direction.

a haida (northern native americans) style gryphon

I dont have one, but I have always wanted something very cryptic but tribal looking. I do have a picture in my head, but I just cant seem to get it out onto paper. Sad

I knew I should have taken art at school

I got one a couple of days ago very small on the underside of my wrist... the infinity symbol in turquoise and it's so simple it looks painted on as it has no outline. I have a Magpie on the outside on my left upper arm with William Morris style plants, another Magpie on the inner of the same arm almost stained glass window style, a tiger on my right shoulder which I will have covered soon as it's sh*te. All mine are B&W apart from the symbol which is for my daughter and she watched when I had it done.
My tattoos are for me...each has it's own reason. I was at a bar the other week and the barman saw the bottom of the one on my arm and said... "show me your tattoo..." to which I replied "show me your penis" just because I have them doesn't mean I want to be flashing them all day. Rolling Eyes
