Reply With QuoteOuch!
well i've been fumbling about what to get on my arm for ages until one day I told my tatooist to just leave the day free and sod the cost, he designed this for me on the morning, then on the afternoon tatooed it onto my right arm, it needs finishing off with a tree to the right and the names of my friends on his death list plus a little bit more backround colour and some colouring to his robes and hand, but not bad for 3 hours work :)
Thanks,
Andrew
Ouch!
Not sure what to make of this ...

"Well they would say that ... wouldn't they!"
:shock: thats pretty hard core... hope you still like it in 40 years time!!
Nice one big man, show us a nipple shot :D
oh yeah, and it's TATTOO (not tatoo) so make sure you triple check the spelling of those names won't you :)
(nice to see you around BTW!)
Sorry - don't like it at all - very morbid.

The names of your friends on his death list? Are those living or dead friends? I'm not sure I'd like to be living and on my mate's tattoo's death list... :?
Good artwork though.
Great Andrew, you'll love that once you're 30+ :mrgreen:
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
"not my bag"
Just listening to "Don't fear the Reaper" Blue Oyster Cult on radio 2.
Maybe its an omen :shock:
Tats, not for me :?
With friends like these, who needs enemies?
Best wishes,
Bob
:D well i like it, my mates think it's cool having their names on the list, i really like the reaper, and have wanted a tattoo of this nature for a while, it's a hard decision to make, but at the end of the day it's something i wanted, and i wanted to be different :D more work to come on thursday, so i'll post up the results after :)
Thanks,
Andrew
+1 :shock:
You may like it now but i think you will eventually come to regret it !(how do you get them removed?)
It's done. He might as well enjoy it for as long as possible. It is of little use to fret about the future now.+1 :shock:

regrets i've had a few, if my biggest is a bad tattoo then i figure my life would be pretty great, there are soo many other things that you will eventually regret doing, why not add one more to the list :)
Thanks,

+1 - It's your arm Andrew, and if you like it that's all that matters. Better give Derek his nipple shot - he can be very persistent :DIt's done. He might as well enjoy it for as long as possible. It is of little use to fret about the future now.+1 :shock:

Sorry Andrew, not my thing but if it 'floats your boat', enjoy it.

What if you wish to continue losing weight - will it lose weight too or will it go all crinkly and have stretch marks?

"Well they would say that ... wouldn't they!"
On a sidenote, anyone else thought of WENDY? :lol: :lol:
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
on the arm i guess it's a possibility, but at the minute i'm only 1 stone away from my goal weight, so i guess there ain't that much to lose, unless i lose a stone off my right arm!! :lol:
Thanks,
Andrew
It's your arm and your decision...so if you like it then that's great.
Personally i also think its a bit morbid,but its better than a dodgy Popeye.......
One of the things that put me off getting a tattoo is "Police are searching for a man with a tattoo of the grim reaper on his shoulder".
Eddie
Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
:shock: each to their own, it's your arm! But i won't be doing that to mine anytime soon.
tattoos are a very personal thing anyway and what means a lot to 1 person will mean nothing to another, can't wait to see the finished product though.
That's what its all about,having something that YOU like! :wink:
Maybe tattoos have a lot to do with peer pressure as do piercings. If you wish to be in one of those crowds then is up to the individual. Personally I cant see what they achieve apart from maybe short term satisfaction until the novelty wears off - then you might have to have another one - and another ... bit like smoking maybe. Tattoos seem to categorize people into a peer group and if the tattoo is visible it could have a negative effect with potential employers when job hunting.

Sorry Andrew, not for me. Never really seen the appeal in "tats" and not sure how this fits with your recent(ish) posting about your doorman job. Seems to me it kind of adds to the general perception of what "bouncers" are like.
Still, it's your body so guess you can do what you want to it at the end of the day.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the tattoo covered up when Andrew is working as a doorman? :roll:
Personally, I don't like this tattoo, but that's a matter of taste rather than because it's a tattoo.
I don't know as I'm not sure what he wear whilst stood on the door. It was simply that in Andrew's recent thread about working on the door he was talking about how the chaps in his industry are trying to change their perception from the old style "bouncer". My view, and that's all that it is, would be tatoo's of this tgeneral design may not be the kind of thing that would help, that's all.Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the tattoo covered up when Andrew is working as a doorman? :roll:

all of my tattoos are covered by a short sleeved shirt at all times meaning NOONE can see it :) i got one of them a long time before i became a "bouncer"Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the tattoo covered up when Andrew is working as a doorman? :roll:

Tattoos are very personal, and TBH not everyone will like them, if they did then no-one would ever get one, like owning a Panerai, or a Breitling, just because people don't like them does it mean people don't buy them??so why would it stop me getting a tattoo just because people didn't like 'em? i like it, infact i love it!! and i'm getting a whole lot more work done this weekend :)
Thanks,
Andrew
The whole friends' names thing is a bit weird, but as long as you and your friends are happy with it, fair enough I suppose :?
I think you will find those friends are actually dead, hence going on the list... I recall Andrew mentioning somewhere about loosing some friends not that long aog.
Ah, right. Still think it's a little unusual, though.
I'm covered in tattoo's one of which is large lettering saying "no regrets"
across my stomach. And i also have them on my forearms, i have never
regretted any of them and don't think i ever will. I got my first one 11 years
ago and i like it as much now as the day i had it put on. :)
Yeah but your from Boro, it's illegal not to have a tattoo if i remeber rightly?? :lol: :lol: i love mine, can't wait to get it finished :D
Didn't hurt as much as i thought it would mind, kinda soothing after a while :twisted:

It might be an old fashioned view, but it is still prevelant and therefore needs to be borne in the mind of the recepient if, as Dunk says, choosing a visible one.+1

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
Just did a quick count of how the comments in this thread view Andrew's tattoo and other tattoos ... 6 seem to be neutral, 9 seem to like it, and 18 do not approve ... these do not include Andrew's own comments. Going back to my previous concern ... if a prospective employer was interviewing applicants and he/she does not approve of visible tattoos for whatever reason - then the visibly tattooed applicant probably stands less chance of being selected. And previously I have received an application form which asked, "do you have any identifying body marks or characteristics eg tattoos, scars ..." OK I know Andrew's tattoo is not normally visible but it is giving rise to more negative feedback than positive and that is partly due to the subject matter.
Cheers

If out of sight could you not just lie and say no :? :wink:
Yep ... but they may not wish to employ people who are untruthful :wink:If out of sight could you not just lie and say no :? :wink:

Come on guys, he's taken a fair bit of flak now and he's still happy with it so perhaps just let it go... it's his arm and he's happy so can't we be happy for him :)
