Yeah, I once lost six o-rings during an evening of playing on a slip'n slide. fuck that.

I think I'd have to go up to an 8 if I want those unless for whatever amazing reason the shop I went to for my spirals has them in 10s. Considering all I have right now are the glass ones I got when my ears were done and the spirals I purchased a few months ago, I could use another pair.

Guys, how do you feel about Spy vs. Spy tattoos?

I did a quick GIS to see if they were a common thing and that revealed nothing. Are they played out? I simply can't tell if nobody has them or too many people do.

Also, which of these makes a better tattoo?

Thomas Edison · « **Reply #2853 on:** 04 Dec 2009, 14:47 »

Second one. More symetrical.

Also I do not like that the page break is still Kiefer asking me about my feelings. He doesn't care about me really, he just uses me.

I definitely agree on the 2nd. More standout colors and it just looks a lot more fun and back stabbey. As far as being played out, I think everyone knows my opinion on that already, but I've seen a couple of spy vs. spy tattoos. Definitely not common from what I can tell.

Thomas Edison · « **Reply #2857 on:** 04 Dec 2009, 15:07 »

Slick, I might change "Relief" to "Dude".

Definitely. My most recent tax return (the first time I could call it tax return season) financed a tattoo, but it wasn't mine. In return for financing the tattoo, though, I got a motorcycle, and I had much more fun riding than I ever could have wearing a tattoo.

abadname · « **Reply #2862 on:** 04 Dec 2009, 23:20 »

I'm getting a tattoo on monday i think, even though it was supposed to be last week.

I want to do it on the inner part of my forearm, but I also thought of doing it on the inside of my bicep. Here is the image:

Is that a copy of a Lichtenstein?

HellStorm · « **Reply #2864 on:** 05 Dec 2009, 08:19 »

It looks a lot like 'The Kiss' to me.

Lines · « **Reply #2865 on:** 05 Dec 2009, 08:25 »

Yeah, it's Kiss II. abadname just didn't post the best image.

Catacombs · « **Reply #2866 on:** 05 Dec 2009, 19:54 »

I haven't posted in here for ages, but I figured I'd let you guys know I'm getting a new tattoo next Friday! I'm getting the outline of New Jersey on my chest. I can't wait.

abadname · « **Reply #2867 on:** 07 Dec 2009, 07:50 »

Yeah it was a version that i took a picture of in denver, i didn't know what it was called.

Guys, how do you feel about Spy vs. Spy tattoos?

I was planning to get the second one, actually. Think I even mentioned it in this thread.

It's probably not gonna happen now 'cos I doubt I'll be getting any more tattoos once I leave and if I get any while I'm travelling it'll probably be for my dinosaur sleeve

Ballard · « **Reply #2869 on:** 08 Dec 2009, 20:32 »

Hope I'm not cramping your style, dude.

Now for logistics issues.

How would I get around the panel issue? Do square panels look awkward as tattoos? If not, where is the best placement for them? Do I try and find a full-body version of the image instead? Do I have the artist improvise and draw on the legs etc?

Do I include the red and black backgrounds if I go with the panel?

abadname · « **Reply #2870 on:** 08 Dec 2009, 20:35 »

I've seen some panels look good, but something you can do is a fade on the background where it fades into your skin

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #2871 on:** 08 Dec 2009, 20:42 »

I wouldn't do the background at all. I'm a fan of simplicity.

Ballard · « **Reply #2872 on:** 08 Dec 2009, 20:51 »

I generally like vibrant, detailed, colorful, cartoonish tattoos.

I like the idea of a fade ~~but that presents the lower body issue again.~~

EDIT: Oh wait

Drill King · « **Reply #2873 on:** 08 Dec 2009, 21:32 »

Panels look good on arms and thinner appendages.

calenlass · « **Reply #2874 on:** 09 Dec 2009, 01:32 »

So if you have chicken legs you are set.

elizaknowswhatshesfor · « **Reply #2875 on:** 09 Dec 2009, 06:07 »

I think they would look good on the back of each leg/each forearm. As they are so striking I think a background would diminish the overall look of the tattoo.

Ballard · « **Reply #2876 on:** 09 Dec 2009, 08:20 »

I don't know if I want to split them up? That rather defeats the purpose of the image.

elizaknowswhatshesfor · « **Reply #2877 on:** 09 Dec 2009, 09:24 »

I like images that should be together being split then when you put said body parts together etc. it adds a symmetry to ones body that science tells us isn't there.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #2878 on:** 09 Dec 2009, 18:36 »

Inside of your upper arm seems like it would be a good place for it. I'd put the background colours in as well with maybe a frame or something around it? Something simple, black line work or something around it would look cool.

sean · « **Reply #2879 on:** 12 Dec 2009, 17:31 »

guys just out of curiosity is it a terrible idea to use somebody elses plugs to stretch with? i mean i am going to clean/sterilize the fuck outta them.

Thomas Edison · « **Reply #2880 on:** 12 Dec 2009, 17:47 »

Its how I started. Even if the inside of my lobe did split a few days ago. But it's all healed now! Just trying to keep the tapered taper in whilst I sleep is a pain now though, because I downsized and it's a bit loose but I don't want to put another layer on till the scabs gonnnnnne.

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #2881 on:** 12 Dec 2009, 19:30 »

I'm getting a cheesy as fuck tattoo tomorrow and I am very excited. It's a purple heart I gimped up with my mommy's birth date on it. She has a cheesy pink heart with my birth date on it.

Gemmwah · « **Reply #2882 on:** 14 Dec 2009, 03:38 »

Eeee my ears are finally 12mm so I bought myself 2 pairs of really sweet kaos silicone tunnels, one in orange and one in black. I'll get some pics up soon they look so rad

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #2883 on:** 14 Dec 2009, 10:09 »

update: this is my first color tattoo and wtf sleeping was a bitch because it was all wet. I slept with a roll of paper towels next to me. The tattooist warned me it'd be very different and I wouldn't like it, but I didn't think it'd be THAT bad. On the plus side, he commended me like I was a puppy for sitting so well. So there we go, I've learned color tattoos hurt way less and also that they suck way more for healing.

Lines · « **Reply #2884 on:** 14 Dec 2009, 17:20 »

Now that I've drooled over pretty much everything on Tawapa's site, I have noticed it's really hard to find smaller plugs. Anyone know any sites that have smaller double flares?

BrilliantEraser · « **Reply #2885 on:** 14 Dec 2009, 17:39 »

How small of a plug are you looking for? The smallest I have are acrylic 10g. Sadly, I cannot wear them yet, as I have been neglecting to actually work on stretching my lobes.

Looking on Tawapa's has made me want to continue stretching my ears, though! Probably going to have my piercer put in my 12g captive bead earrings tomorrow. The bead fell out of one a while back, so I went back down to my 14g earrings for a while. Gotta change that.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #2886 on:** 14 Dec 2009, 18:01 »

8g is the smallest double flare I can find that I can guarantee to be of decent quality.

Bodyartforms is a pretty great site, even if their search function is straight out of 1998. It takes some slogging to go through their stuff but you canf ind a lot of gems in there.

Those grey agate ones are perty.

What about these, these, these, or these? I'm finding lots of stuff in 10s that are pretty nice.

I'm kind of regretting not just getting them pierced to 8, but oh well.

Lines · « **Reply #2888 on:** 14 Dec 2009, 18:42 »

Oh god, I want so many of these...

ackblom12 · « **Reply #2889 on:** 14 Dec 2009, 18:59 »

ooo, nice finds. I personally love the Blue Tigers Eye and I really like the Turquoise and serpentine.

I'd have to see the Indian Blood in person to be able to say anything positive or negative.

sean · « **Reply #2890 on:** 14 Dec 2009, 19:03 »

i dunno those struck me as plugs that just rule.

turquoise was pretty rad too but i dont know if i would wear those

sean · « **Reply #2891 on:** 14 Dec 2009, 19:03 »

uuuuuuuugh i wanna start stretching so badly uuuuuuuuugh bhhhhhhhhhhh

Lines · « **Reply #2892 on:** 14 Dec 2009, 19:04 »

Yeah, the blue tigers eye is awesome. I know where some of my money is going from my next paycheck... (Probably to some horn helixes from Tawapa, too.) Also a lot of these are really reasonably priced, which makes me happy.

Mainly I'd just like to see them in person to make sure I am seeing the colors properly. There's nothing more disapointing than buying a pair of plugs online and just not getting the product you imagined.

Wait until you wake up with yr bedsheets covered in brightly coloured scabs

I know I havn't gotten my Alice tattoo yet (currently saving for a sexy beach holiday in a 4.5 star resort with the boy in March, but I will have accommodation monies sorted right after Christmas, then I can divide between saving for spending monies and my tattoo) but I am thinking of my next one anyway. I would like to get this on one of my shoulder blades, eventually.

It is Ruby and Doom Kitty from the cartoon Ruby Gloom and every time I see it in the start sequence I want it on my shoulder blade. Aaron and I watch Ruby Gloom every morning before work! It makes me so happy. I like all the swirly bits in this image.

It will be a long time before I get around to getting it but I liiiike it so much.

Drill King · « **Reply #2896 on:** 15 Dec 2009, 06:09 »

I love ruby gloom c: they stopped showing it here :c

I am going to have to restart my stretching stuff because I have seemingly totally lost my 10g plugs and I don't know where they wandered off to, IE o-rings, suck my dick.

Lines · « **Reply #2897 on:** 15 Dec 2009, 06:25 »

I'm surprised I haven't dropped my o-rings down the sink or something yet. Which is why I'm gonna get me some double flares soon... That and I think they'll be a bit easier to keep clean.

Thomas Edison · « **Reply #2898 on:** 15 Dec 2009, 07:38 »

I dont even use o-rings when stretch, but I'm doing it awkwardly by taping a taper instead of use a plug to taper with, which means I have a 14mm pluggy bit with a 5mm spike stuck out the back all "ohaither"

Lines · « **Reply #2899 on:** 15 Dec 2009, 19:04 »

Ok, so I've narrowed it down to 5 plugs. Help me choose! (I may get more than one...)

Tibetian agate, Indian bloodstone, blue tiger eye, amazonite, and ocean jasper.
