the thing that is scary here is that you keep mentioning your an entrepreneur, meaning your purely doing this as a business venture/money maker and not for the love of tattooing. I think you should reconsider and open a takeaway joint.

@Graeme sounds like we had similar teenage years except mine were only a few years ago (born 1992). I could only do a handful of tricks but my friends and i would go skating every weekend, watched these and some 411vm videos a few times around.

What a list , jealous as!

I can answer the question by saying that it's actually far worse around the nipple than on them. Even when one is pretty much solid black.

Which wasn't as bad as collarbone, honestly.

I had the same experience , around the nipple was alright but the collarbone sucked bad.

Just a quick update on this ,here is a map of where I'm planning to Travel in America

It is just a loose plan and I may even decide to travel to more places or change some.

these are the Tattoo shops i want to get tattooed/visit.(note I won't be visiting every single one, I've tried to pick a few shops just incase certain artists are away.)

Idle Hands, San Francisco

Spider Murphy's, San Rafeal

Temple Tattoo, Oakland

High Seas Tattoo parlour , Los Angeles

Immaculate Tattoo,Phoenix

Love and hate tattoo parlour ,Phoenix

Rock of Ages ,Austin

Mainstsay Tattoo ,Austin

Also on the map RED means travelling by bus

BlUE is by plane

and PURPLE is an alternate route by bus instead of plane.

Also if anyone has suggestions for things to do in these cities feel free to throw them in.

one last thing @cltattooing and @daveborjes id like to stop by your shops , so you should send me a link to your shops.

Thanks for putting that up @BrianH , just finished watching this and can't wait for the next one

Best 1st tattoo also welcome to LST.

this is pretty much most train stations in Australia.

just got onto the ol instagram thing mine is @motsimus , no photos yet but soon enough.

Hey Josh, welcome to LST you have got some sweet tattoos.

it bums me out when I hear of parents being disappointed about their kids getting tattoos when there is so much worst things they could be doing, my parents don't understand the whole tattoo thing but my dad drove me to get my first tattoo and still says to me "are you really getting another one?" But I know he enjoys the fact that I'm at least passionate about something.anyway you should just tell them they'll have to understand

rant over I'm drunk

i'm a big fan of Bonnie Prince Billy and Chuck Ragan at the moment.

welcome to LST, Why don't tell us what area in the UK your from and we can help find you another artist.

The easiest thing you can do is call the shop and ask if you can send them an email.to be completely honest I would go for a rose with the Italian flag behind it ,something a bit more classic that will stand the test of time but if the diamonds what you really want then I suggest talking to the tattooer that you choose and see what they think.

Mine at the moment are Tony Nilsson, Steve Byrne and Austin Maples.

Welcome to LST, awesome stuff.

Hey mate welcome to LST, I know it's a few hours away but if you find yourself in Austin you should check out Affinity tattoo and Rock of ages tattoo. Affinity Tattoo and Piercing - TATTOOS

Rock of Ages Tattooing | Austin, TX

If you can't get there I suggest you just wait until your back in California where your pretty much spoiled for choice.

A good friend of mine is slowly getting a traditional Fallout sleeve ,so far he only has the fallout boy but has an appointment soon for Primm slim(the sheriff robot) and I think he wants a Rad scorpion and the nuka cola bottle cap. He's still figuring out the rest but it will be awesome. This probably makes no sense to someone who hasn't played it.

thats a great list @littlecreatures

Hello and welcome, who has done your tattoos if you don't mind me asking.

Hey Nate ,welcome to LST. Who have you been tattooed by
