    Hi:D
    Im a n00b to this but a long long long time lurker... Ive spent many hours poring everyone's gorgeous tattoos in "Ill show you mine if you show me yours" much to my rents annoyance:rolleyes:. Due to the age, (seventeen), I dont have any tattoos but hopefully my plans will come to fruitation over the next few years:p

    Being 17 sucks! :o I'v stalked for far too long aswell. Next saturday i think i'm going to pop into Snakebite and get a proper quote on my first tattoo, then only a couple of months and i'm getting printed :)

    Best use this time to put as much thought into what you're getting as possible!


  • Registered Users Posts: 262 ✭✭tigerblob


    I'm kind of a noob, I'm a long-term lurker. I have my ears and bellybutton pierced and I'm getting my tongue pierced tomorrow! I'm so excited because I've wanted that done since I was thirteen, I'm eighteen now. I'd like tattoos but so far I'm waiting for the perfect design to find me and I won't just get one for the sake of it :)

    Hello hello. I figured I'd wander over. I have some questions about touch-ups and things.

    I have 6 tattoos, one on my back, 3 on the insides of my arms and one on my inner upper arm that needs a serious amount of time put into it. Long story.

    I have some cartiledge piercings and have had others but sure they've fallen out or closed up along the way. I'd like my tongue pierced but would be worried about my teeth :)

    I'm...older than a lot of the posts I've seen in this thread. Oooh well :)

    ha! nice :D Yeah I'm erm 16.....

    Jesus no, I wouldn't want to be 16 again. No offence intended to 16 year olds. I just really prefer being 10 years older! Should I tell everyone I'm blonde and blue eyed and look like a model too? :D

    What the sh¡t is that?!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    Fair enough, maybe start with a more aesthetically pleasing or insightful one? instead of just taking one off the net.

    I'm in my early 30s (f) and have been thinking about a tattoo for years. Kinda scared but would love something semi discreet...thinking a seahorse and some seashells around my bikini line...does that sound weird?


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    No, but if you're going down a sea-life theme, I'd draw the line at crabs... :pac:
    Welcome aboard!

    Hi i'm ally, i have no tattoos or piercings but there's still time, i'm hoping to get a piercing or maybe a tattoo at some point but due to medical reasons i'm not sure i can

    Nice to meet everyone :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 892 ✭✭✭mariebeth


    Hi all, I'm Marie :) Have been lurking for a good while, checking out everyone's amazing tattoos. I've one of my own, it's only a small one on my hip, that I picked off a chart on a wall, so it's nothing majorly exciting, but I do still love it a few years later.

    I want my next one to be something unique, and horse related because I've a passion for horses, so if anyone could recommend someone who's really good at doing animal tattoos {preferably around Cork} I'd appreciate it!


  • Registered Users Posts: 16 fifiyoyo

    I am a new here, I like the tattoos on a lot of people!


  • Registered Users Posts: 35 CongressTart


    Hello all. Just wondering how long it takes approximately to get a tattoo design done, as I have been waiting months for mine. Since April / May :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Who is designing it for you? Have you been in touch with them?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5 iain11


    hi everyone have been looking on the site for a while now and decided to join up currently have a 12mm lobe tunnel, spiderbite on my lip and tragus done! as for tats have a tribal half sleeve done but plenty of ideas for the future


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9 EvetscipE


    Hey... I'm Steve. I'm relatively new to body modification, I only have a labret piercing...

    Getting my first tattoo soon, Getting DFTBA Tattooed on the inside of my right forearm.
    I also want to get my tongue and lip pierced again.


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Welcome aboard! :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 130 ✭✭kev_like


    Decided I'd throw a post in here too, out of boredom really. :p

    Well I'm Kev, 19 and from Cork. More into the piercings side of things than tattoos, mostly due to the lack of funds ;p

    Current piercings are : 14mm left lobe, 12mm right (should be bigger by now but I'm lazy ;p Think I'm stopping ~16mm anyway :) ) vertical 'snake bites', jestrum (vertical in the center of my top lip, not a very common one around Ireland it seems^^) standard (right)side lip, septum stretched to 4mm and my bridge. :)

    Yeah I have been in touch several times, phoned the parlour to see if the artist is in, then drop by if she is. I am not going to mention which one as I don't want to identify anyone or myself to them but I find it strange now that it would take this long. She has given me 2 designs already, I have told her what I would like to change about them politely each time. She is very nice and I don't want to lose the head but I am getting a bit pissed now that it is taking so long, I like her work and have a voucher so can't really go elsewhere.

    I've been in touch again recently and no reply. I didn't think it would take this long, I don't think it is overly complicated a design tbh as I have said what I would like on a few occasions now.

    Say this to the artist, i'm sure they will sort it out rather than lose your custom!
