One of my friends got a tattoo apprenticeship. She has a real graffiti/street art kind of style so it will be interesting to see how it develops as she gradually moves from drawing on paper to the eventual goal of using skin as a canvas. Still, only delighted for her!
Also, my mom got inked recently! She'd been talking about getting a tattoo for her 50th birthday but never got around to it due to a combination of lack of funds and nerve.
Anyways, about 3 weeks ago, she finally decided "**** it, I'm not getting any younger!" and got 3 lovely colourful butterflies on her right shoulder blade. I went with her to the studio and was watching to see if she'd wince, jump or flinch when the needle hit her skin.
Nope- she sat like a ****ing trooper and even turned to me at the halfway point and said "I want another one!"
Yup, tattoos are definitely like Pringles- you can never have just one.
I'm hoping to get my third one before Christmas. Just a matter of funding at this point.

Yeah it's crackin'! I've been following his stuff for aaaaages now so I was delighted when I found out he was working here for the weekend.

This will be my 6th tattoo. It's completely knocking my tattoo map out of shape

I feel like I just want one from now now for the sake of having a deadly, colourful tattoo :P

Exactly - I've not seen anything of his that I don't like tbh. I've a few weeks to decide a location - design could be something I suggested or just from his flash. Sher what's the worst that could happen?!

He's in Dublin Ink, yep. There's a few artists over this way over the coming weeks, think a lot of them are over for the London Tattoo Convention.

I'm literally sitting in Gatwick airport right now on my way back from a session with Victor Portugal at said convention, the standard at it is amazing, absolutely top tier, who else have Dublin Ink got coming?

Booked in with Darren in Colourworks for some work on my stomach on Friday, been around 4 years since my last tattoo and not looking forward to the pain, on the plus side though it is a day off work!

Woohoo! Tattoo daaaay

Random question: What are some distinctly Irish treats I can possibly send to a friend in 'Murica? I'm putting together a Xmas package for my penpals and I've got the basics down- variety bag of Tayto, Butler's chocolates and a box of Lyon's tea bags- but I'm open to suggestion. Reason I'm asking now is that I want to get it in the post before the Xmas rush starts and I'm giving myself a few weeks to get everything together. Obviously, I can't ship liquids so sending bottles of Buckfast is out of the question. (As is Kinder Eggs, strangely enough)

Get them some Pink Snack bars, as they're meant to be going apparently (or maybe they already have?)

Those Milky Moo mints

Kimberly Mikado biccies!

Small tin of Bachelors beans

Snack bars are still on sale in my college anyway

Viva La Gloria

They're the most inferior snack bar in my opinion, so I never even noticed whether they were still available or not :P

Sound! Thanks, Viva!

Orim

Mars bars and milky ways. Cause their milky way is the same as a Mars bar.

Plus American chocolate is gack so they could use something decent.

Angron

Yeah, and I think what we know as a Milky Way is called a 3 Musketeers bar over there.

Like vaseline is best for tattoo aftercare.

Angron

My vote goes to purple, yellow in second, and pink last.

Star Lord

I'd be yellow snack, purple snack, most other things, pink snack.

It's the pink snack they're meant to be discontinuing, as is only sold here, and they were moving the wafer production to Poland I think...

I'd be disappointed with those items, Milky moos are not the same anymore they have gone downhill big time. Mikados are OK, the vagina of the biscuit world. And beans, you can get any sort of bean you want in America, most of which would put Bachelors in the shade.

But was the point not to be sending over specifically Irish branded foods?

also dairmilk brand is supplied by hersheys over there and they use cheaper cocoa or something so tastes not as good as irish choc
