nice tattoo,really nice for a first tattoo !!! @skywalker

Thanks guys! I'm really happy with it. Pedro's a really cool guy and somehow got into my head to design the perfect tat for me. I was lucky, about 2 weeks ago he said he had a cancellation, so that was time for me to swoop in and steal that slot.

I'm lucky I live by a few great tattooists, my next is booked for October with Chris Collins at Frontier. 

My first ever tattoo!

Done by Pedro Soos at Frontier Tattoo, Cardiff.

 @oboogie - it wouldn't stop me anyway but at least I won't worry so much now, phew! Sweet designs, I love that Amy Winehouse one especially.

Thanks, Devious6.

Welcome,

Chris Collins work looks quite nice in the traditional style. You may also want to try to get in with pedro_soos who seems to be doing a guest spot (visit to the shop) in August.

As for advice, closely follow the aftercare advice given by the artist who does your tattoo, and take no advice from anyone or anywhere else! Once you have ten tattoos that have healed well do what works for you, but everyone will have suggestions, ignore them.

Post a photo once you get something.

Thanks for the reply and the advice, mtlsam.

Collins was exactly who I had in mind, love his style.

I'd never seen pedro_soos tattoos before, they look right up my alley too.

All I'm worried about with tats is the blowout since I'm so pasty I'm practically translucent but as long as I take care of my skin before and after, I can live with mistakes.

I'll definitely post anything I get!

Hi guys,

My name's Courtney, I'm a "plain skin" from Cardiff (UK) and planning on getting some tats soon when I get my sh*t together (i.e. get the money and time off work). I love the traditional style and will be going to a shop in my town, probably Frontier tattoo. 

Any advice or warnings at all would be most welcome and I'll probably ask some questions while I'm here (if there's not already a thread for them).
