    there are all great techniques, thank you and keep 'em coming! so far the ones working out for me is cutting out salt, stretching exercises, going to sleep wearing a support wrist brace occasionally and accupuncture when i have bad days, so far ive been free of pain for over 3 months and counting!

    what i do wonder if its women's nurturing and caring nature that pushes us to try and be nice to people enquiring about our tattoos even when they are being pushy? im leaning towards the thought that more women would take time to speak to these people than men in the same situation....

    i dont personally think its my job or any other tattooed females to change people's preconceived ideas of tattooed women/people. i dont particularly want to educate them either, these beliefs of theirs tend to be pretty ingrained anyway. its no lost cause but i take each case by case, if they seem genuinely interested, i will take a minute to be polite, they want some freakshow ill tell them where to go.

    what i seem to notice is that the only men with balls big enough to date a heavily tattooed woman are heavily tattooed themselves, but i might be wrong of course, this is just what ive noticed. most tattooed folk will attract a few looks when out and about but people cant help but downright stare when they notice tattooed women, in the summer i dread wearing shorts knowing all i'll get is questions, and i cant stand answering the same shit over and over again. though i'm always left alone when im waking around with stewart (my other half), it might be to do with the fact hes even more heavily tattooed, over 6" tall and is usually frowning at them already haha. i guess when im on my own, people dont seem to be scared of me as they seem of him, if im alone, they will ask more readily expecting a sweet young girl to just be that, sweet, and kindly answer their questions. its that that particularly that annoys me most, do they really think im gonna entertain them? a complete stranger? just cos im a girl? what worries me is what the media is making tattooed women out to be. it has always loved a slutty-tattooed-woman scandal. were all sex/fame/money hungry according to them, when in all honesty, some might be, but really, theres WAY more untattooed women that way inclined. but hey, thats another much more elaborate post i cant put my energy into right now.

    my friend soap owns a shop called lab monkey in Stirling, Scotland. I learned to tatto in the shop round the corner from his but thankfully he never hated on me for that ;). anyway reading his blog i came across a good link to a website documenting some of scotland's history of tattooing. ive visited it before many years ago but forgot completely about it, thought some of you might enjoy reading info on it Prince Vallar - Tattoo Artist

    i have a few but i guess its not in my mind to pick up a few as i go along, it think it will be a new years resolution for me to start on this, thanks for bringing it up!

    so today i am finding myself putting together a book of reference, mostly vintage girl faces i've collected from good old google and friends emailing me cool images. I'm using blurb to put them altogether. thomas hooper used this website to print his skulls book and both me and my other half realised how much cheaper and organized it is to use blurb to compile reference. before id spend good money on printing out photos, binding them and somehow always loose a few along the way, this took a lot of my time obviously! so what im asking is here is what do other tattooers do to compile random pieces of reference they find along the way? i mean my bookcases are bursting with books of course but you know when you find a cool pic and promise yourself to use it next time something similar needs drawing up, and you forget, and even if you remember, its a task to find where you last put it!

    theres so many, but the ones that jump to mind are sound of music, oliver!, monsters inc, up, the shining, the piano, zoolander, casino, alien films, once upon a time in america, detroit rock city, pineapple express, indiana jones, no country for old men, there will be blood, and loads more. i dont seem to like very cool films now that i see them listed, ah well!
  11. Valerie Vargas

    a while ago we had this girl in getting her first tattoo and while waiting her turn she started eating a whole packet of biscuits and lots of coffee. we did warn her it was too much and too sugary and to slow down, she just said she knew what she was doing so we just left her to it. suffice to say half way through her (small) tattoo, she vomited EVERYWHERE without any warning, projectile vomiting style. all over the work bench, the tattooers shoes, herself, everywhere. barely had any time to push a bin under her face. so anyway the worst bit was watching her scoop out the vomit from between her ample cleavage and from between her thighs (she wore low cut top and a tiny mini skirt). ick another one was when a couple came in so that the girl could her her clit hood pierced. he wanted to be in the room so the female piercer said alright. they go off do their thing and we hear a wee muffled ouch from the girl, next i see the guy walking out of the room asking where the bathroom was, i said right next door to him. i looked away for half a second and next thing i know i see his legs lifting into the air cartoon style as he passes out head first into the bathroom. luckily for him he missed the toilet bowl by an inch, otherwise we would have had to call an ambulance! my personal fave will always be the guy who passed out slowly whilst talking to me as i tattooed him, he sounded like he was running out of batteries! so funny, he was a champ and laughed about it afterwards. bless him!

    i'm not one for trying recipes and dishes i've never cooked before but i thought it's ridiculous that i've never made chilli con carne so giving that a go tonight and also gonna bake a chocolate and beetroot cake with frosted icing. hopefully i won't poison stewart haha. wish me luck!

    thanks for any mentions by the way! i think its pretty obvious i adore chris conn's girls. the other day some guys came in from cali, they were working in london for a few days and one of them had a conn girl pirate on his forearm, it looked stunning of course! i think right now i'm really into chad koeplingers girls, he showed me some recent stuff he's been tattooing and there was a valkyrie that just blew me away. i have a tim hendricks chola on my arm and shes pretty badass, i like the particular look he goes for in girl faces. and of course jack rudy's too as someone else mentioned before

    some of these people are imbeciles with their comments. to be honest, surely theres more wrong with what barbie represents? i only ever owned one when i was a child only cos one of my mom's friend thought id want one for my birthday. i cut off all her hair straight away. stick on tattoos are the least of those people's troubles!

    i dont know why but i find the number of sections intimidating. kinda makes me doubt myself as to where to post and also it makes it a bit of a job finding everything thats going on. personally i'd prefer less sections, maybe as the forum becomes more popular, add them back if needed?
  19. Valerie Vargas
    yeh, i seem to do a lot of them, magpies, victorian type stuff, cute and quirky, thats the most kind of requested stuff for sure, im guessing its more of a UK thing at the moment? but it just makes the eagles and panthers and girl faces more fun when they do come in though!

    not so much a horror story, but i remember having to put on gloves and help my teacher stretch a guys ass cheeks so he could tattoo them. i think he was seeing what i would do and what i wouldnt do haha
  21. Valerie Vargas

    so my cheap-ass-built but frickin' expensive travel armrest i got off ebay 2 years ago finally gave up the ghost this weekend, but what did i expect really. i got it because it was small built and easy to carry. now, i know i dont really need one, and theres been a few times i have just used my knee/tissue roll/back of chair and i will again, of course. but for those lazy times, can anyone recommend me where to purchase a fairly small, sturdy armrest? ive checked out ebay (i know i know) and a few high profile tattoo supply online shops but im looking to see of any others i may have missed out on. feel free to message me the url or join in with how frustrating it is to find good hardy armrests! haha
