Body Art ...

[plan_D]

Since my nickname is "Colonel Chaos" to a lot of people , and I'm well known to be extremely chaotic at times. I thought a Chaos symbol would be quite appropriate for a tattoo !

So, I found one ... which was good, but not really all I wanted. Then I found another - and combined them ! And I've put it on my back in a picture to see how it'll go ... ::Note - obviously it won't have the white on it (in the last pic) ... ! Also - the first two pictures are the Chaos symbols seperate , the third is combined - obviously.

Yeah my first tattoo was a small one, then I gradually got bigger and bigger with my designs and work.

My buddy just got a chaos symbol embedded on a skull tattooed to his fore arm.

I've just had the start of the Chaos symbol ... I also got my Alive Man image sorted out. I go to a new tattoo artist, he's only been in town two weeks and he's awesome. Free hand ... and cheap. The picture is my starting of the Chaos tatt, which my girlfriend watch happen. Come this thursday they're starting on my arm and alternating between the two until they're finished.

Excellent, very large size as well...

 

[plan_D]

Aye. I'm sitting down with the artist and discussing the one on my arm, he's designing it there and then. Then I'm taking the picture and burning it after he's finished so no one else can have it!

Good stuff. I think I will go in a couple of weeks and get my next one as well.

I know this is late and a little off topic but it's just a little update on tattoo related muscle atrophy from those of us of the un-tattoed kind

My friend is still having muscle mass building problems in her calf and thigh after her broken leg, most particularly in the muscle immediately under and sourrounding the tatoo. She can run and walk normally, but the tissue under and around the tattoo is noticably undersized.

Doing a little research I came across a short article that seems to back up her problem: http://www.annals.org/cgi/reprint/133/2/158-a.pdf

Basically, in the last 2 years, an Isralie (sp?) doctor had 3 cases of patients with recent tatoos, all who ended up with "chronic atrohpy of the muscles adjactent to tattoos on the upper limb girdle area"

I'm not saying it will happen to you, and it seems like a fairly rare reaction considering the number of peropl with tatts, but there is always the possibility.

This is strange...i stayed in England just a few months ago, also i got a phone call from my mother last friday and she made no mention of famine hitting the island.

What does your dad say about it, planD?

I stayed in England just a few months ago, also I got a phone call from my mother last friday and she made no mention of famine hitting the island.

That was probably the funniest thing u've ever posted here Udet.... I laughed outloud and my kid hadda come over to see, and then he laughed as well....

No offense to u pD, but u are very thin, and the whole famine thing was honestly priceless...

And the work looks great BTW....

 

[Pisis]

Well I noticed that also. Do you know that when you grow bigger your tattoo's gonna distort?

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

LOL that is good.

 

[cheddar cheese]

You think he's thin...thats nothing

Not that I know a lot or would ever get any tattoos, but those look pretty cool, and original.

 

[Pisis]

You think he's thin...thats nothing

Compared to Looma. But he's five years younger...

 

[plan_D]

Fast metabolism is what keeps me thin. I eat more than everyone in my family and they're are all much larger than me. I don't care, to be honest. I've had eating competitions with plenty of fat people and come out on top, went against my brother once and ate four meals from the Chinese Takeaway with no problem.

And yes I know when you get bigger your ink distorts... **** happens.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Compared to Looma. But he's five years younger...

And me, and im only what, 2-3 years younger?

I think I must have a fast metabolism too. I must eat around 3500-4000 calories a day and im thin as a post.

 

[Pisis]

but from what I've seen, you're quite tall, ain't ya?
But compared to pD, I'm a fat boy... 75 kg...

 

[cheddar cheese]

6 foot 4 yes, but im real skinny...
