    Im currently getting some cover ups done from tattoos I got when I was only 18yo... they were baaaad lol.

    Im considering getting the whole sleeve done. But cant think of anything I want. I like nice tattoos that arent of something horrible or offensive. With lots of artistic detail.

    Anyone else into tattoos?

    I was told there is one really good lady in Brisbane that do really nice artistic tattoo. One old colleague fly there just for the tattoo, and I think the one whole sleeve cost about 2-3k?

    I'm not a fan, but I quite like this style. I still prefer "clean".

    Tribal is a bit out of fashion now. Lots of people regret their tribal tattoos. Me included. I have a chest one that Im going to get removed and then covered.

    It might be out of fashion, but for me, it is way more attractive than a "stand alone" tattoo. Everything goes out of fashion at some time. Why not have them removed (and not inked again over the top) if you don't like them now?

    I still like tattoos. Just not the really basic ones like I have and had.

    I watched this show some time ago, removing the ink, it was a great story. Would not want to be removing any tattoos.... ouch

    I like women with classy tattoos. Not tramp stamps

    I think most white men with tattoos look trashy.

    I'm a fan with, or without the ink of this chest. A little gynecomastia, aka ***** tits. Lay off the roids dude.

    I have no tats. It sets me apart from my peers.

    I have a small butterfly on my back - from the days when that was daring for a white chick - would love to get it done over with a huge dragonfly but hubby is dead against it.

    He's probably right as my skin doesn't take colour.

    You should talk to a good tattooist about what could work. Shame your husband is against it. I wonder why.

    He's very conservative ... he has some views that are almost a generation older ... it's an upbringing thing.

    On the plus side ... the genetics in my family are very long living ... so when he falls off the twig I have this massive list to fulfill :D

    - Jeep Wrangler soft top in deep red
    - Dragonfly tattoo
    - Learn to ride a motorbike

    These are mine. The sleeve took 20 hours and the Geisha on my back about 7 hours.
