My arm hurts!

[PitYak Studios]

There's a seriously good tattooist works across the road from me, and i've been trying unsuccessfully to get an appointment for months. Then my wife came in last night and said she had a surprise for me. “You’re going to see Manu tomorrow at 5”, she had secretly arranged it for our wedding anniversary.

Two minutes old;



(It's the Northumbrian flag by the way)

I haven’t been under the needle for ten years, but you never forget what it’s like. I did forget I would have an arm like popeye for a while. Didn’t get much sleep last night, and work today is going to be fun.

It begs the question, which part of your body is this on. Arm, leg or other

[Dad's Army]

hmmm, is it your painting arm

Good luck on it man

[T. Dürrschmidt]

I do not like tattoos at all.

[Old Wolf]

this is not 1/72

Definately not my painting arm, but it is my bar-leaning-on arm, which proved somewhat problematic last night

[Paul]

That sound really bad. I suggest a straw and lean on the other arm
Petone, thats Wellington? My bro in law lives in Lowry heights. Not too far away eh?

[PitYak Studios]

That's one of Wellington's suburbs I think?

Interestingly when I got mine done , and I admit it was a few years ago now allI can remember was that it felt ticklish the whole time, a bit like when you get a plastercast removed and the blade touches your skin..My overriding memory was being completlely bored sitting there whilst it was happening

[Maurice]

That yellow will fade very quickly.

Ah but not these days! I was able to facebook and keep up with my forums while getting drilled. Beats the two hours of uncomfortable boredom I'm used too.

So I get it re-done. That's hardly a problem.

One word: COOL.

I don't have any tattooes ( how do you spell the b---y thing?), I can't decide on which one I should have . Have a friend that's getting a Viking-ship on his back. It's been going on for many years and I don't think it is finished yet, but very cool!

[Paul]

@ Pityak, yes it´s to the west of you, he lives on the edge of the woods, stokes valley, lower hutt.
@Suso, a viking ship on his back!! He must be pretty strong, I mean how much do they weigh, 20 + tonnes?

In my opinion, it's your own fault

@Thomas: me neither

[poky]

[ModernKiwi]

My body is a temple, and it looks awesome without any paint on it. But a very cool tat nonetheless Phil. Answer to pain: Drink moar beerz

[PitYak Studios]

did that last night. now i know a new pain. and mine doesn't, that's why I get tattoos, to distract from the general lack of awesomeness (nah not really)
