Sam Nichols Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 because it means a lot to you? or because you appreciate the artwork?I don't think a lot of those tattoos had that much thought put into them to be honest!Infact most of the time i think people just choose a tat 'cause they think it looks cool. Nowt wrong with that mind you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I still think a tatoo has to be something of serious choice though, a few of the ones on Kontrband seemed like a spontaneous idea to have done.I guess if/when I get a tatoo done, it will be something close to me, or something that looks good and not too cheesy.Also how much are we looking at these tatoo's nowadays?, as they seem quite expensive.My dad had most of his done in the 70's, and his most expensive one (which covers the most part of his bicep) was only £12.50.Some of the smaller ones he has only cost about £4.

Si-man Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 these days, a bloody fortune!im talkin that star i had on my wrist, cost me £20 b*****d quid, and its only about the size of a 50p.Take the piss really on price, worth it though.I cant be arsed with all these people who go on about, "oh, it should mean something to you"f**k off for gods sake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nick Riviera Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 £80+ an hour for a decent artist, depends on what you want really, if you want some flash crap it'll probably be a lot cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a tattoo because you like them. You DO act on impulse, you have your tattoo because you think it looks cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Depends where you go, theres a place in Newport called Tattoo addiction, and they're f**king brilliant, and cheap. My housemate got 3 hours of old school work done for less than £100, he got a swallow on his arm which cost 20, and took just over an hour, and a 2 hour piece which cost him £40, all because Loz enjoys tattooing him. My other housemate Matt got a piece of new school done and it cost him £50, and took an afternoon. They're really nice guys too. So it depends where you go, look around and see some of their previous work, see if they do the kinda style you're interested in, and as a word of warning to everyone, please don't get shitty tribal.

Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Also a straight edge symbol aswell isnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Traditionally the swallow is a tattoo that a sailor gets after traveling 5000 nautical miles at sea. Often a swallow is the "first sign that land is near". To a sailor the swallow means a "safe return home". Swallows are known to travel far distances out to sea during migration and would rest on boats close to shore which gave early mariners the first sign that land was close by.Nothing to do with straight edge though, just coincidence.

Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Oh right, ive seen alot of straight edge-ites with swallow tattoo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 And finally, during the 1950's and 60's before tattoos had achieved mainstream acceptance, wrist tattoos, especially those depicting stars, were closely identified with the gay and lesbian communities. According to this, im super gay since i have one one each wrist. Niiiiiice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
