I love tattoos! Each to their own n all that, and Im a firm believer that you should do things for you, and only for you.
I got my first tattoo when I was 16, then my second at 17; a butterfly and swallow respectively. Since then, Ive had a few others done, all in places where they can be covered up, if needs be. Actually talking of covering them up, has anyone tried Kat Von D's tattoo concealer from her Sephora range? Id love to know if it's any good. I plan to buy a few things from her range (via Ebay with me living in the UK), Ive heard it's amazing! Anyway, going off the point there, which I often do...... Ive recently had the two previously mentioned ones re-coloured/shaded and re-shaped...as after 10 years (giving my age away haha!) they were starting to fade, and as the years go by, our tastes change, and I was finding one of them looked how do I say it, a bit cartooney. Im very happy with the result, and am planning on getting one more (an amendment and add-on to a current one) done in January. Myself and my mum (yes, she got her first tattoo recently!) have had work done at Metal Morphosis in London and Manchester, and from the artists we've met there, have been stoked with the results. My mum had Dusty in Manchester, and I had Holly in London http://www.metalmorphosis.co.uk/
Im hoping to get one done in the not too distant future by Kat Von D (LA Ink) so we shall see where I get to with that. A portrait of my darling cat, Angel (it seems so inappropriate to call her a cat, I mean she is one, but she's so much more - any cat lovers out there will know what Im talking about) is what Ive requested for Kat (aptly named!) to do.
There are so many good (and bad) tattoo artists out there. Always do your research, see what they specialise in, whether it's portraits, colours, tattooing certain parts of the body, and never be afraid to ask to see sketches and pictures of any previous work.
As the saying goes, "good tattoos aren't cheap and cheap tattoos aren't good"
