That's why I thought having a spine come out the top would be cool, because you could just do it with linework. Then again, giving it a proper think, you are 100% correct that adding anything beyond just the zip would probably take away from the what makes that artwork great in the first place.

If it is kind of a nod to your cyborg upgrades, Hannah, I think a closed zipper would be better, but it would not have the pretty shape of the half-open zipper.

This.

A few years ago we were discussing Hannah's tattoo idea in Gabbly and I drew her a sketch that involved clowns underneath the zipper.

I don't know if she kept the scan.

Ok, so the jump from 8g to 6g is bigger than 10g to 6g. Was not expecting that. But anywho, I got the things I ordered today, so I'm starting to stretch my right ear. Lets see how this goes...

ackblom12 · « **Reply #3605 on:** 01 Sep 2010, 13:16 »

ahh, yes. If I had thought about it I would have posted a size chart actually. Stuff like that is actualy why I think it's kind of ridiculous wire gauges are still the standard for jewelry sizing.

sean · « **Reply #3606 on:** 01 Sep 2010, 16:41 »

yeah i remember 8g to 6g being a lot more painful than 6g to 4g.

Lines · « **Reply #3607 on:** 01 Sep 2010, 16:44 »

:c I just left it in where it was comfortable for about an hour or so and then took it out. I'll take a shower later and see how far it does in then. If it doesn't go in all the way, I'll just put it in tomorrow again and gradually push it in little by little throughout the day.

2 more hours added to my tattoo bringing the total to 8hours, but now i have COLOR!!!

Gears or circuitry - or a realistic rendering of the top of a spine - would all be awesome.

Do that. Gears and junk is overdone.

This is still my mindset. Either way I am going to have to go to a tattoo parlour and talk to someone about it so I can get a quote so I can save up for it. That first step is going to be the scariest part, at least until I go in to get it done for real. blblblblblblblblblblblublblblublublblbl

I was into gears before they got all mainstream.

Elizzybeth · « **Reply #3613 on:** 27 Sep 2010, 22:05 »

Aurjay, I think your gears look pretty dang cool. I like how, with the color, the skin really does seem to be peeling away to reveal them.

Have you had a look at places you might like to go?

I'm getting tattooed this Saturday on the inside of my bicep. I'm pretty stoked, dudes. I'll try to bring a camera and take some photos. I'm not looking forward to the pain, just the results.

Appreciate it!! Im glad that the colors are making it stand out more. Was afraid they were gonna bleed into each other and make it look like a big cluster fuck on my arm.

Oh hey my ears are 2g, and 0g respectively.

Papersatan · « **Reply #3618 on:** 30 Sep 2010, 18:13 »

Stephen bought me plugs for my birthday:
adorable tunnels with hearts

Turquoise tunnels which will go great with 80% of my clothing. (I wear a lot of turquoise because it looks nice with my hair)

and these rad flowers which I think will pass as "normal" earrings for job interviews and what not.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #3619 on:** 01 Oct 2010, 03:07 »

I also got myself some new Septum jewelry.

4g (5mm) Blue Tigers Eye

And I apparently am incapable of taking a picture of myself where I do not look like a stoner.

est · « **Reply #3620 on:** 01 Oct 2010, 05:45 »

I think that the plain zip would look pretty good. The spine coming up out the top would look bad in my opinion, I am always pretty grossed out by things that pretend to be coming out of the skin, etc. Aurjay your cogs and stuff look great and all, but I don't dig the torn skin & flesh around it. Each to their own!

Look in the photo thread for an awesome looking sea turtle!

Wasteroo · « **Reply #3622 on:** 03 Oct 2010, 14:49 »

would getting some simple line work of the exterior of my current place of employment on my upper forearm be a bad idea? it's an idea that's been bouncing around in my head for a while

Ballard · « **Reply #3623 on:** 04 Oct 2010, 20:07 »

That depends on whether you work at McDonalds or the Pentagon.

(Either way, it might be a bad idea.)

Wasteroo · « **Reply #3624 on:** 04 Oct 2010, 22:12 »

well, shit

(actually I work at a little sheet music/instrument rental place. I thought it'd be cool to commemorate my first job and the best job ever once I leave it for more professional pastures)

Lunchbox · « **Reply #3625 on:** 04 Oct 2010, 22:14 »

Why not get some sort of instrument or music note piece then?

Drill King · « **Reply #3626 on:** 05 Oct 2010, 08:35 »

fuck yoooooooooooooooou o-rings

I always get free o rings from BAF, but so far I've only had to replace one set with the free ones. If they were your size I'd just send them to you. :c

Well, is it possible that the building you work in does not just look like any old building? Somehow I think "generic music store" would not make such a great tattoo.

Jace · « **Reply #3638 on:** 05 Oct 2010, 19:52 »

I sneezed really hard in the shower and my septum piercing fell out, I lost one of the o-rings.

it's kind of unique-looking because it used to be a KFC way back whenever. It's basically a perfect cube with a peaked roof + rooster weathervane

Papersatan · « **Reply #3640 on:** 06 Oct 2010, 03:18 »

Work tattoo? Why not? All I recommend is this: imagine the worst way possible for this job to end. Imagine your boss thinks you stole from him, your co-workers suddenly think you are a creep and you get fired in a blaze of cussing and hurt feelings. After emotions blew over could you still look at that part of your life positively? If so, go for it.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #3641 on:** 06 Oct 2010, 04:00 »

I must say, having actual septum jewelry for my nose is so much more comfortable than a plug.

Gemm, I 2nd Kat's suggestion.

Linds, holy fuck those owls!

Gemmwah · « **Reply #3642 on:** 06 Oct 2010, 05:19 »

Omfg those owls.

also, cheek piercings on me perhaps?

ackblom12 · « **Reply #3643 on:** 06 Oct 2010, 05:36 »

I could see them working quite well on you. This is especially true if you have good dimples for them to accentuate.

Lines · « **Reply #3644 on:** 06 Oct 2010, 05:37 »

They're $60... I really want the owls, because OWLS, but I don't know if I can afford that now. I am seeing my mom today, though, so maybe I should just be all buy these for me pleeeeeeease.

Drill King · « **Reply #3645 on:** 06 Oct 2010, 06:53 »

Last night my friend got COMIC BOOKS tattooed on her toe knuckles. It is so cute.

My ears are at 2g now yaaaay! And I got tunnels for them instead of those ridiculous dumb ole captive ball rings I had before. They are just boring ole black plugs because I am pretty much just biding my time til I can go up to 0g and then I will probably be happy and get really nice wood or stone plugs. Or I'll wanna stretch some more, who knows!? Hee hee!

Hey! I have those!

Speaking of, it's my birthday on Saturday and I'm going to get my custom eyebrow rings put in (apparently they might put pictures up on the piercing studios' website!). I'm thinking of getting some new ear piercings as well but I'm also getting my sleeves in two weeks. Do you guys reckon it would be too much to be looking after fresh cartilage piercings as well as the sleeves as well? I really want to get them done (because you get free piercings on your birthday) but I'm worried it might be too much to handle at one time.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #3649 on:** 12 Oct 2010, 03:33 »

Were yours 4g and in yr ears? They were huge and heavy and they swung about comically and may or may not have contributed to my getting mistaken for a lady a few times. On the upside they did help make the next stretch feel like nothing.
