The Evil Lure of the needle!


I've been contemplating getting into tattooing!
It's been on my mind for a long time...and I keep shrugging it off because I dont even have a feckin tattoo! I mean What kind of Tattoo Artist doesnt have a tattoo?!
Like I want one, just dont know what yet..and I want it to really mean something to me and I want to design it too. So when I figure all that out, then I'll get one.
But I just think I'd really Love to be a Tattoo Artist! It'd be sweet, Getting to draw all day and getting payed for it. And everyone'd think I was deadly :) ha ha, only jokin.
I could see myself being quite good at it though. Like I'd be able to do portrait tattoo's and all no bother I'd say. (once I did all the training and all of course.)
All these feckin Miami, LA and London Ink have me hooked!

But at the same time I'd say I'd be pissed off doin repetitive trend tattoo's. Like I wouldn't wanna do them on people if it was gonna be an obvious phase tattoo in a few years. Like the rose on the arm, or the dolphin on the belly everyone used to get to copy Mark Owen. Theres no way I'd want to be doin shit like that.
And I'm not into all the big skulls and tombstone biker type tattoos, wouldnt be interested in doin them at all!
I dunno..I'm just waffling now.
I've to design a tribal neck and shoulder tattoo for a friend, so we'll see how that goes. I'll prob post it up here if it's any good. I wish I could tattoo it on him! :)

  1. Hey Jess just do it! forget all that shit about your tattoo has to mean something, once it looks good you can make some shit up later - whenever anyone asks me what my tats mean I tell them nothing and they're all shocked and sayin if I got one it would have to mean this and that... does your clothes mean this and that? no! fuck it get something you like!
    I have a lovely dolphin on my belly button.......

  2. I realised Tattoo Artists have to work the weekend! So I think i'll leave it. That's one thing I always said I didn't want to have to do in a job. I mean I wouldn't mind working weekends doing overtime the odd time, but not permanently! Feck that, I'm ouuta here...
