Pretty amazing artwork in every one of those, but my fok... I would not want any of them.

That said, my own tattoo is pretty shit artwork but the value to me is the work was done by a friend, and by chance I chose a design that could 'accept' bad work. And I am happy with both the art and the friend.

Gangsters tend to look at me slightly skew, though.

I have a binary symbol (as in tech, not sex) at the same place (or a little further from the wrist). Got it in 2006 and were never 100% happy with it but have never gotten around to tweak it.

Very similar to this but needs a bit of fixing to get to this:

Could use it on a date by explaining if she touches it it will turn me on. :devilish:

Mine is a "stamp print" ( like the potato prints you did as a kid ) so the bleeding and variability between each symbol is cool with me. Even part of the art, IMO.

They all do, but again, I chose a style that is fine with blurring and fading (in my opinion, and I suppose that is the only opinion that counts). I've had it for more than 20 years now.

I am still designing my first tattoo. It will be music-related - in the same area as you two have.

It is a particularly painfull area to get it done, so be prepared. But not with alcohol, because that causes higher blood flow to your capiliaries. A Xanax or simililar is better.

Mine isn't large but I recall the pain was quite intense. I actually held my breath involuntary while he was doing it and only breathed when he stopped for ink or was it to wipe the blood, don't recall.

Cannot see that sadly

I do not like pain. Well I say that - rather let us say I have a low tolerance for pain - really low. Didn't even have to feel contractions - not my choice but I did not want to anyway. Though I do like the pain when you have exercised too much and it hurts to move. But I guess this is not that kind of pain. Not looking forward to the pain
