for me i've always wanted one since i was.. heck, 9? i saw my dads tattoo and ever since then i told myself im getting one. and its just been over a year and a bit for me to finally decide on what im getting done. it just tottally depends on how meaningful it is to you and if you have complete confidence that thats the exact tattoo you want

I've been thinking about it for more than 1 year, it seems long but it depends on your personality and what kind of tattoo you want. I went to the recent Tattoo show and out of all the tattoo artists there I really was only interested in getting work done by one artist. I talked to them, looked at their past work and got a good vibe, I'm making a consultation this week.

thought about mine for a year or so... had a few changes and now i got it, pree dam happy :D, here is the teaser

Who is the artist you decided on?

Every person is different. I've wanted to get one since 01 so I've basically waited 9.5 years (got mine done last summer). I would have gotten it done sooner but I was always trying to come up with the perfect idea and what I want on there that I know I'd be happy to have when I was older. The whole money aspects affected it a bit too cause you don't have a whole lot of disposable income when you're a student.

Don't have a tattoo (yet) but i thought this one was hilarious, a frd showed it to me

sick cant wait to see it!

Whoa, I hope you are getting work from Jose Lopez, dude does the most amazing fineline b&g work.
Posted via RS Mobile

No I got my work done by klown. He is part of the lowrider crew. IMO he is at the same level at Jose but he isn't so commercial so he doesn't really know how to showcase his work and built his own brand. That means cheaper but same quality for me :)

Finish the 10 hr session. It still healing though.
