Want Ink?

As you may be aware I am in training to be a tattoo artist, and it has come to the point where I am looking for volunteers. At the moment I need people who are looking for new tribal tattoos and people with old tribal tattoos that they would be interested in giving a fresh coat of ink. We will need to see your design and placement before we can tell you if it is suitable, as some designs and body areas may be more suited to training than others. Obviously I must stress that I am in training but the sessions will have Leon (who has been tattooing for 13 years) and Matt (who has been tattooing for seven years) on hand to supervise.

Just to summarise:

- At the moment I am looking for ONLY black tattoos

- Your tattoo will be done at a slower pace and will possibly need retouching after it has healed

- In the case of new tribal tattoos, the outline will be done by either Leon or Matt, I will be filling it in

- As...

Re: Want Ink?

I'd quite like my Maori tattoo on my leg re-coloured.
It over most of my leg and is quite a straightforward design...

It wasnt payment... it was a donation.. which I hope some of the rest of you are considering if you're gonna get something done for 'free'.. take in a wee present of some kind to show your appreciation...


One thing I did forget was to get a pic... any idea how hard it is to take a pic of your own back?

Still need to go back and get it filled in...

Indeed.. the eloquent speech she gave was quite moving, especially when she mixed the 'open arms' immigration section with the bit about 'cruelty to animals'.. pure genius..
