They are a bit like marmite you either love them or hate them.

I have a couple myself so I like them.

I also love a lass with tattoos am not talking about a tramp stamp or some stars on her foot, my ex had a chest piece and 2 half sleeves.

What about yourselves?

Sleeve on both arms, chest, collars bones, ribs.. some on my legs.

Getting my right hand done in a few weeks.

If done well they look spot on, I have a couple that I regret but that's life, Will eventually get them covered. I do quite like them on birds, not sleeves or anything but just a few well done tattoos

Lovely! My knees are next!

I have my chest and shoulders and the inside of both my index fingers

My front torso area is next for me. I've started the ribs but next sitting will be a significantly large piece on my torso (belly)

What style tattoos do you have @ Individual & CT?

I want my throat done badly but I know that I'd get my balls felt for it as my fingers were bad enough!

My boss was moaning saying that in a management role I couldn't been seen to have visible tattoos.

got 3 that im not keen on anymore,,1 has been covered and getting the others done as well....still not what id have chosen as tattoos but limited as tae what i can get to cover them...and im fairly happy with the 1 ive had covered,goin next month tae get another covered.Wish i had waited till i was older cos i just went for a tattoo,any tattoo!..id have chosen more wisely now.

On my chest I have lettering and shoulders are photorealism roses and again fingers are lettering.

The folly of youth eh!..

I collect Traditional American tattoo's. Mostly naval/service connect traditional pieces. Some Asian pieces.

Very much into the background of the 40's - 60's traditional tattoos, the artists, the historical portion ect

It's very trendy at the moment. I never liked them. My dad once said that he would beat me up if I got one, I suppose that kind of stuck with me. I highly doubt that I will get one, although I like some of the ones my friends have. Mainly the ones that are celebrating the city we're from.

Get some pictures up lads.

Sounds good, you'll need to get up some pictures.

A lad I knew loved his traditional Japanese tattoos and was about half way through his chest after 2 full sleeves he was leaving a space of about 3 inches running down his chest empty, looked awesome.

As anything in life you get what you pay for, you nip into a back ally and pay for a £50 tattoo it's not going to look as good a proper artist and paying his hourly rate.

i agree. When I first started getting tattoos it was not so accepted.

Starting collecting them when I was in the service. My first couple pieces were all done over sea.

Looks awesome fella!

Wise move. I had a load done when I was 17, a few of which I regret 9 years later, especially a load of Roman numerals that were popular at the time and some lettering. The others I have I know I'll never get tired of, Religious art, naked women, laugh now cry later etc.
