    My first "real" tattoo was a cover. I did a lot of research and found an artist, luckily not far from me, who does an awful lot of cover work. My cover was drawn on by hand as that was the best way to disguise the original design. There were consultations about what styles I liked and possible designs, but I was very open minded as it was more of a case what would work best. Most tattoos these days can be improved or covered. One part of my old tattoo was re-worked and the rest covered. I know I am not really answering any of your questions but the main thing is that you have confidence in the artist you choose. The ones who have said it would be easy to cover, did you like their ideas? Is it a dark band?

    Just a quick introduction. I'm Georgie, 36, building up my tattoo collection. Started in December 2010 and haven't looked back since. I have a lovely regular artist who is as mad and random as me, so understands where I am coming from with my terrible sketches that I bring in!! I have started to branch out to other artists this year. Work to be completed by Ian MacIntosh and Phil Kyle in April and August all ready for Tabacco Docks in September. My tattoos and fun and quirky, in my opinion, so suit my personality. Am fascinated with all things related to tattoos and the general lifestyle that comes with them. Anything else you should know? I like JD and Chocolate!? Well they are the important bits anyway. Thanks for reading. :)

    Hate having to have showers instead of my wind-down evening baths. I am almost past the itchy stage. Woot!

    Welcome Emma! Being a little older just means you have to get tattooed at a little faster pace to catch up!

    It was funny to read your last paragraph as I am 36 and only started getting tattooed a couple of years ago for the same reason - worrying about other people opinions, especially a dad who does not like tattoos! :)

    Hi everyone. Long time reader, etc. My name's Emma, I'm 35, I live on the east coast of Scotland. I'm married with two little girls. I have always loved tattoo art but only got my first tattoos last year; they're now one big tattoo that stretches from halfway down my upper arm to over my shoulder and to the base of my neck. They're European goldfinches and apple blossom, in a colour realism style.
    I'm getting my third tattoo tomorrow at the Scottish Tattoo Convention - a piece that will probably take up all of my left inner forearm. I'm a sort of queasy mixture of nervous and excited. I have seen the design (a rework of a reference I provided) and it's beautiful. A forearm piece is obviously a lot more visible than what I have: it feels like a much bigger commitment, but the placement feels right to me. I don't think it would be an issue if I lived somewhere a bit more cosmopolitan - I flew over to Portland, Oregon for my best friend's wedding last year and it seemed like every man and his dog was sleeved up - but in my little town I don't know anyone else with visible tattoos apart from faded, blurry green pin-ups on much older men, and the odd butterfly on a shoulderblade or bit of old tribal that makes an appearance on a rare sunny day.
    However! I am 35 years old, surely a proper grown up by now, and it's about time I stopped being so worried about what other people think. Though he himself has no tattoos my husband is enthusiastically supportive and that's all that matters, and for job interviews and family occasions and such there are always long sleeves.
    Looking forward to getting to know you all.
