Hopefully tattoo on Monday

Mr Rivers

Hoping to get a wee tattoo on the inside of my right wrist! I had an appointment for Monday in Celestial Ring with Debbie after a friend recommended her but after reading some threads I dont feel so sure and I aint getting a tattoo when i'm a bit worried about the outcome!

So now I have no appointment but wanna get it done 2moro as I had planned, would ya say I'd get an appointment with Zulu if I ring early? Think they'd be the best to go to?

steveland?

Zulu don't take appointments over the phone. Monday morning you should be able to just pop in no bother

Mr Rivers

Yeah, found that out when I rang a second ago

I'll head in early 2moro so and see if they have an opening, doubt a small one would take up alot of their time

steveland?

I went in there for a tattoo on a Satuday afternoon and they did it right there and then, Monday should be grand

Mr Rivers

Excellent! Ya happy with the result? They good?

edit: Oh, and it's my first and prolly my only tattoo btw

steveland?

Oh, and it's my first and prolly my only tattoo btw

Heh, famous last words...

Yeh I love the tattoo I got in there... granted it was quite simple and it's exactly what I had drawn out when I brought it in but I was tattooed by Justin and I've seen some of his work and it's excellent...

Mr Rivers

so I've heard :P

I looked at some of the photos in Zulu and I was quite impressed, very nice

But I'm more confident in Zulu now, glad I browsed the topics here!

Dim in Snakebite didnt look too happy about doing a small piece so I was told not to go to a guy if ya can tell he doesnt wanna do it, and he was overcharging! But his stuff is beautiful! Great with color!

Reasons I went off Celestial Ring and Debbie:

I know enough about Celestial Ring now to know that they would be fine for a walkin, but not a studio where I would go to get a lot of work done.

Celestial are fine for piercings - tattoos.... erm.... NO!!!!!

If Celestial & a blind leper who couldn't draw a dot were the last people on earth to give me a tattoo, I'd go with the leper...

besides - celestial's tattoo artists are well known in tattoo circles for ultra shady business such as taking flash, knicking photos from other studios & passing the work off as their own amongst other things...... plus they're talentless skin-draggers!!!!!!!

I did get some work done before by Debbie in Snakebite and she is now in CR, that said I had determined not to get any more work done by her....

After that I didnt wanna go to her!

She's not all that bad Mr Rivers, she just is not that good at the celtic stuff I wanted done and I had the feeling in one of the sessions that she wasn't arsed at all and I had taken a day off work to get it finished and only got an hour done, was pissed off about that big time.
The session where she was not arsed also showed in the tat, that part has dirty lines and is fading a little in spots.
In All though she has some beautiful artwork to be fair to her.

Mr Rivers

Too much uncertainty tho and if she's lazy then I definatly dont wanna go to her!

Plus there's a general concensus that Celestial Ring is for piercings, not tattoos. I didnt wanna go to CR for the tattoo in the first place but my friend is a friend of hers and recommended her. My feelings about CR mixed with the comments from you and ven0m just made me way too nervous!

I had a wrist tattoo done on wed at snakebite.
I had done a rough sketch of what I wanted and denise went of and tidied it up.I was very happy with the design she came back with.
I think the tattoo artist did a super job.He talked about exactly how,where and what colours I wanted.The place is clean and its done in private upstairs.
So I am happy to reccommend snakebite.
I had read that the wrist is a tough place to get tattooed cos it hurts a lot...
but I got one on my lower back and that was a killer!

Mr Rivers

So your wrist wasnt even that bad? Intellesting

I had a tattoo on the inside of my wrist about 6 weeks ago, and it stung a bit but was not what I would call pain.
Very happy with the result, healed up beautifully with no problems at all.
Go for it!

Mr Rivers

Well got it done! Wasnt sore really, just a dragging sensation! Real happy with the result

I shall post up pics later!

Mr Rivers

It was much less painful than I was expectin! Felt like having a tack dragged across my skin, nothin too bad!

Here's a pic of if from my phone after it was done: http://minds.nuim.ie/~rivers/mikado/firstdone.jpg

And here's one just now from my camera: http://minds.nuim.ie/~rivers/mikado/tattoo.JPG

Cling film still covering it

I'm well happy!

Mr Rivers
