I'd suggest you don't ask on here David otherwise you'll have to put up with some lame, predictable and utterly wankey response from PS Lewis/DCI Gene Hunt about how tattoos are crap/chavvy/for losers/common/stupid/gay, etc...etc...etc...

My next one (s) will be either between my shoulder blades or inner forearms.

Lower back just doesn't appeal to me.

Like you, the inner forearms could present employment related issues, certainly where clients were concerned.

Some nice designs so far

I appreciate not everyone likes or agrees with tattoos. Fine by me, but please, just **** off and don't ruin this thread

I actually like tattoo's, have one on my shoulder and would love another.... the only problem is that during the summer months wearing thin white shirts isn't the best idea at work!

There have been some nice designs on here, but i wouldn't choose my tattoo off a website. Mine had to be totally unique to me, i dont wanna be walking round with the same tat as anyone else, so i designed my own, then got them to tidy it up for me a t the tat place.
Worked really well!

best way, the web is good for inspiration...not copying. very unusual to see something totaly unique as mostly its all been done before

"W" on each of your butt cheeks?

I'm waiting for my tax rebate before having some more tribal work added to my forearm. I'm just having my artist add freehand to the existing design.

Too red / orange for me.. might be the 'redness' as it looks recently done in the pics either that or the sunbed bit you!!

Other than that I like it

Edit to add.. maybe its the lack of outline ? Some people cant stand the pain What pain Its too adictive

You could always change the colours. I think they are well smart I like the designs.
Have you got an idea in your head or are you still looking for inspiration

Haida

Jay bee, as I said in your thread, nice

its a flame sleeve so red\orange\yellow\purple was appropriate! that pic was taken about two years ago when i had the bottom section finished off...

lol, i'd have outlining done all day when compared to colouring the under arms...i'll get some pics taken of my other arm so you can see some outlines

lol sounds lovely

depends on how strong the colours are in the original piece...if they are two strong then your tattooist may recommend having a couple of removal sessions to soften the colour. then you will have a greater choice on the cover up piece
