Its taken me 12 years to get my tattoo done – well its not entirely true. it took 3hrs to do the first bit but I have added too it virtually every couple of months for the last 12 years…

Now it covers my back, both arms and one thigh – only 1 full leg and the bottom of the other to go.

My advice is:

1) Think about it for a couple of months with a picture of the design you want.
2) Check out several tattoooist before commiting
3) talk to people with tattoos – in the area you want to have it
4) read up on the after care and buy proper after care products.
5) Listen to the tattooist – if he thinks it looks bad or will look bad – then they will probably know what they are talkin about.
