Tattoo's - Help needed

Post by Stevedx »

Hi there guys

I am not very experienced at this side of things and only have one small tattoo, but I fancy something on the back of my right shoulder and am liking to idea of a celtic type one, symbol or whatever.

Anyone have any suggestions of what one, or any celtic ones they have to show me, or even know any good sites I could look at?

Thanks in advance for your help

Not exactly a celtic design, but certainly a british symbol! What about this?

I actually had a celtic trinity knot, on the back of my right shoulder.

But now I fancy something to go in the middle of my back, just below the neck, any suggestions?

Im in the process of having some of my tattoos removed with laser. Only the ones on my hand. My advice is dont get them done.

Ive got them up my arms and used to have them on my hands... Ive had 2 laser surgerys done on the ones on my hands at £60 per CM squared. They have faded very well with the surgery and i dout ill be paying them prices again to get rid of what can hardly be seen.

If i was a millionaire id have every single 1 ive got removed. My advice is dont get them done :blushing

Here's a good idea - DON'T have it done because you will almost certainly regret it in 10, 20, 30 years.

When you are old and wrinkled your tatoos will look absolutely awful.

You're in a good location, Steve. There's a good selection tattooists in Brighton.
The only thing I'd say...is choose wisely...and think of something contemporary. Poorly chosen body art ages faster than the owner.

Any artist worth his salt will want to know what you have in mind and how seriously you've thought about it. If they don't...walk away.
Three cool links below for ideas and browsing.

Let us know how you get on.
