Welcome... from a fellow UKer

Yesterday I was lucky enough to take advantage of a cancelled appointment and get this butterfly from Matthew Houston at Seven Doors. He's a really nice guy and I love the combination of colours he chose.

Saw that on Matt's instagram.... loved the colours of that! Congrats

Welcome... the interviews are what first attracted me to this site. I am glad I joined, you will find everyone friendly here.

New addition to the upper part of my right arm - very fresh, so my skin is still quite pink in the photo.

Going to a Friday 13th event at Elm Street is on my bucket list... looks like a fabulous event and I'm very jealous.

Have a great time

Welcome.... from a new initiate and ex-lurker.

Welcome @GarageBuiltIrons this forum is active enough ;) I've been lurking for a while <lol>

Here is my left arm...

Done by Richie Clarke, Forever True, Liverpool - September 2015

Because it's on my right shoulder blade a bit difficult to take an uptodate photo, so here is one that I took after it was done six years ago.

Size wise I would say it was about four inches in diameter.

Hello... I am also an ex-lurker now recently introduced member.

Welcome.

I've been lurking for a while, so apologies in advance for not introducing myself earlier.

Got my first tattoo (on my right shoulder) six years ago when my Dad died and I was approaching 40 years old - so I am a relative latecomer!

The intervening years have been "interesting" as I got separated and had to buy a new house etc. etc.

I now have a partner who has and loves tattoos, so this year the decision was to expand my collection.

In September this year I got my left upper arm done with a single large pinup, and in two weeks I am back to have a slightly smaller tattoo added to my right upper arm. Both are/will in the traditional style as this is the style I most identify with personally. However, I admire most other styles on others - well if they are well executed of course!

I have also discovered that all future Xmas presents are now sorted... I paid for my girlfriend to have a tattoo a couple of weeks ago (traditional style butterfly) and she was made up. However, I do fear I won't get away to just pointing at her arm on December the 25th <smile>

Anyway, thought I'd say hello....
