Bunny Switchblade Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I only started documenting how many artists had tattooed me because a photographer friend who does a lot of shooting for the tattoo mags had asked if she could document my collection! I have no idea how many hours other than figuring the average time for each tattoo seems to be 3 hours (some 6 hours....some 1 hour) and I know i have over 120 tattoos! I can remember all of the people who tattooed me as long as I touch the tattoo on my body! :) No spreadsheet though........ I don't like the fact that some people seem to think that because I know how many people have tattooed me and am able to tell them off the top of my head AND because I only prefer to be tattooed by quality artists and artists with many years in the craft that I am some kind of elitist or something! Has anyone else run into this??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else run into this??? I have gotten looked at like an asshole when I stated I wouldn't go to (insert cheap local scratcher) but would rather go to (insert list of awesome artists). I just shrug and say well it's my body, and I'd rather not get marked up by some asshat in a kitchen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just shrug and say well it's my body, and I'd rather not get marked up by some asshat in a kitchen. I really don't ever say I wouldn't go to anyone specific! I just feel like you said....it's my body and I know what person I want to add work to it! I guess if wanting and having good work that people can actually tell you is good work all the time is being an elitist....then I am guilty as charged...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irezumi Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 The only way I can remember what year I got a tattoo in is to try to recall what house I was living in at the time when I got it, and backtrack from there. Shit all blurs together. I dont really care, or keep track of money or hours involved. I just get tattooed. Bunny Switchblade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgiles Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I am up to about 60 hours...I don't want to think how much money that translates to. It's really an easy math equation. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
