    Of any other drawings you have made or other tattooes you have.
    That one on your leg seriously kicks ass.

    Well theres a pic of me in my signature,tatts on my arms were done by pro's not me,some of the other stuff i did on my legs is bad and i dont like to show it,i thought it was cool at the time,now i realise its bad,so im covering stuff up,re doing them and that,i do draw things now and again,i used to draw a lot,but with tattooing its a stencil as a guide and copying a desighn,so its more the skill/the craft than the art,sure you need to know about art but tattoing when copying is a craft/skill mainly.

    kool. i wander if drawing on my arm w/ hot wax would work. im gonna try it soon, thnx for inspiration!

    another question doom, couldnt i just dip a blade in ink and cut with it to make a tattoo, im sure it would turn out sucky tho, but hell with it.

    NO id rather you bought proper tattoo equiptment,and learnt some of the basics,trust me youll regret it 100 times more with a knife,youll end up doing yourself alot of damage.

    A tattoo machine doesnt cut,its needles going up and down into the skin at a high speed,and your moving with it,so its just tiny holes that close up,a cut will scar,could get infected and will just be a mess,dont do it.

    Some basic tattooing gear is only $250,use pre-sterile needles and throw away (sterile) plastic tubes if youre gonna do anything.

    I think that is pretty sad.
    I thought very long and hard about my work (I didn't enter into it lightly), and it means a lot to me, however...

    If, when I am 50 - 60 years old, I no longer feel the way I do now about it, I wouldn't have it removed no matter what.

    Even if I am no longer the same person then as I am now (which is entirely possible) I would not be ashamed of who I was when I was 25 (when I got it) and I wouldn't want to try and forget who I was, so I would have no desire to hide the results of who I was.
