    to me its just another guy, i have no prob with him tattooing himself anywhere and everywhere,

    now in contrast to that, i am living down the country and i would get some of the response he spoke of about my sleeves,

    dont judge a book by its cover, he has reasons for ink, i have mine

    i really loving seeing 100% total coverage but i more intrested in non-neo-tribal based designs

    Just another guy who became aware of his own mortality and feels like pushing the boundaries, good on 'em.

    djrlittleton: Dont judge a book by its cover? ..bo!!ocks, how will I know what its about without reading the back? :pac:

    Parts look really good, his upper arms I like. Fair play to him for going for the all over coverage. Not something I'd want but he likes it.

    Fair play I think, his work is certainly unique looking. Can't even imagine the amount of grief he'd get though. (No sound here)

    He started on his genitals......whatever about piercings but starting with a tatoo there....ouch

    i get enough grief as a student midwife with tattoos on my inner wrists, can't imagine trying to get by in ireland with total coverage! :(
    really cool though, i like to see people really being themselves!

    i have a few tattoo's myself couple on my arms, i would have to say the worst time was out in a discobar in a t-shirt chatting with group of friends when the girl behind mewith her back to me turned around took one look at me (like a rabbit in the headlights look) took her jacket and drink and moved them to the other side of the table they were at, i actually felt embrassed by her ignorance :rolleyes:

    i have a few piercings, a few tattos and im a biker. The worse thing I get judged by is that I love wearing a hoody. Dont get me wrong I still get loads of stares cos the plugs in me ears and having a shaved head and a beard.
    I wouldnt be into all over tatts meself because they wouldnt suit me but I do admire people who do it.
    I was outside my local about 6 months ago. Got chatting to a chap and he kept on saying sorry because we was having a laugh, jeering each other was all. Im now great friends with him. Asked him a while back, did he act weird around me. He said because I had my bike and bike leathers on me, also cos he seen my piercings and tattoos and short hair and just assumed I was a scumbag. I honestly dont mind that because I do tend to judge a book by its cover aswell. If I see someone my age (26) in a suit, I presume they are tits. Not always the good choice. Me man finds it funny now that I actually hate about 90% of bikers. Anyways this is tattoo talk so ill chat later.
