Thread: Ink Slingers

That is gorgeous, Dave. Please share when your good Lady finishes her masterpiece

Back in the early 60's my father wanted to give me good advice. He told me never to date a girl who had more tatoos than me. When I went into the navy I collected seven of them. I figured that it would keep me in a good supply of girl friends. It wasn't cool then for women to ink their bodies unless they worked in a circus, or had to spend 20 to life in prison. Today if I had to obey my father's advice seven tatatoos would leave me a hermit.
PS. Bluebird on right shoulder, Mickeymouse on left, anchor on right arm 16" dragon by "Loy Tuttle' on left leg, Japan on lower leg, Peace symbol on ring finger, Red lips on butt.

That is awesome advice from your Pa, Dice. There is only one possible soultion to your encroaching hermitage: more ink!

now thàt I would love to see!
On a sidenote, something that was in the news overhere yesterday.

A Swiss man has sold an elaborate Virgin Mary tattoo on his back to a German collector, with the understanding it can be exhibited three times yearly, a Zurich gallery says.

The extraordinary transaction â?? which gallery owner Jutta Nexdorf claims is the first of its kind â?? fetched 150,000 euros (A$257,000), with the other main stipulation being that the 35-hour work can be removed from the bearer's skin upon death and handed to its owner.

The owner will also be allowed to sell the tattoo, created by Belgian artist Wim Delvoye and notable for depicting the mother of Jesus with a lifeless skull.

Proceeds from the sale are being shared among the gallery, tattoo bearer Tim Steiner and Delvoye, Nexdorf told AFP.

The tattoo will go on show for the first time next week in Singapore and Shanghai.

Conceptual artist Delvoye is famous for his unconventional work, including the tattooing of live pigs.

He chose to feature a number of inked pigs, which are tattooed under anesthesia, in a 2005 Chinese display due to the country's relaxed animal welfare laws.

here's a taster, sorry for the size and quality, this was taken 3 days after, have added the inside of arm now and retouched this side a bit, better pics coming because this dont do justice to it at all. it's less detailled because iwanted to keep the choice for color open but decided i will go black and gray so the look will change.

I got 18, I'm not that picky, I like old style tattopo's and I don't mind people practicing on me, so they're not all that good. But it's more the meaning of the tattoo and the experience that does it for me.
I'll be al filled up one day hopefully

Here's one of mine I got in Trondheim a few years ago. It's of a viking design you can see in the fence behind me at Vigelandsparken.

You know Dice, I am so pleased attitudes towards ink has changed so much over the years. Though with the piercings too I could qualify as a Circus freak going on old standards! As Spike says more ink my man, more ink!

As the guy who did one of my tattoos told me, "it's all about the pain. The ink is just a souvenir."
