The 'There aren't enough new threads' thread

Agree totally Blitzy - price isn't your main concern, quality is. The price pretty much depends on the length of time spent on it; hence things like size, intricacy, and amount of shading or colouring in the design (colour can really push the price up). As a guide: mine cost $250. It is a large (covers the small of my back) tribal sun, patterned to make it look as though it's carved out of stone, with a matching majesty symbol in the centre. No colour, but there's quite a bit of intricate shading and detail work in it.

That's only a large tattoo because of your size.... on anyone else it would probably be tiny!

Dont feel bad kiddo, we all go through that phase, I remember doing it and just feeling like I was being fondled by a drunk

I have had my eyebrow pierced for about 6 months. I dunno if it is infected or not. Its pretty much always got crusty bits around it when I wake up... but then again, most of my body parts have crusty bits when I wake up. hahah

I think it looks good. Alot of chicks did it

 

[Wenda]

*stern* Have you been taking care of it?

Nah, at six months they can still be healing, so that can happen. If it's actually infected you'd be getting more than just a few crusties in the morning.

Try and find a Tattooist registered with the P.T.A.A or or the other Tattooist Union who's name I can't think of but the PTAA is the biggest and safest. It just means that both you and the artist are protected IF something where to go wrong. But on pricing it avreges $100 to $120 an hour, but that is more so on murals and big works of art, but if you have a set piece it should if it aint too large for one session come in at a set price.

Assuming you mean dig and not did, I found that as well, though that was back in the day before they were so common. One reason I am tossing up whether to bother getting it again or not (the common thing, not the chicks lol).

Whoa... that sounds awesome! Got a pic?

I'm a bit unsure whether I want a majesty symbol or not... on one hand, it would be cool to have a majesty symbol somewhere (I've pretty much decided that if I were to get one, it'd be on my back in between my shoulder blades) because of how much I love DT, but on the other hand I've always been one of the guys who warns people against getting a tattoo because unless it's something ultra significant, it could bite you in the ass later on.

I am sure of one thing though... the day after DT's first ever Melbourne gig, me and my buddy are going to get them straight away (unless something happens to make the gig shit of course ). If the gig ever happens, that is.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Hell, if DT EVER play Sydney, I'll get the majesty symbol tattoed on my dick*

I have been away for a while because my net connection wasn't working.


My news: I have a missus, she is tops.

 

[Spiff]

Congrats, Koich! When's the wedding?

 

[KoichCPA]

When I knock her up.

When you hadn't shown up for a while I thought about the possibilities: you were fishing, you were offline for some reason, or you were getting laid. Two out of three ain't bad.

 

[Wenda]

Whoa... that sounds awesome! Got a pic?

Actually no I should really have one, but for some reason I've never got around to it.


On an unrelated note, I busted both my fucking tyres on the way to work today.

Yeah I thought that would happed to me today too. Riding along on the shoulder, straight through the remains of someone's windscreen scattered all over the road.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Actually Wenda, I think I have a pic you sent me ages ago....

 

[Wenda]

Yeah, that pic doesn't really show it well though.

*giggles* just had a dude to process whose email address ended in '@ducksnuts.com.au' ...so I went to ducksnuts, which turns out to be a snackfoods company, but you can send enquiry emails to recipes@ducksnuts.com.au
