Tattoos

[NTNR]

According to the OECD' date=' we have an 8% unemployment rate. And there are only eight countries with a [i']majority of people unemployed.

It's actually 11%

I was considering getting a tattoo when I was still doing Tae-Kwon Do I thought I'd get the Korean symbol for warrior done on my arm once I reached blackbelt. Unfortunately my vision impairment put a stop to that making it just too hard to progress that far. Probably won't get a tattoo now only because I want it to actually mean something.

I could do without mine. But they're all down my arm, on the left side of my chest and the back of my neck. They're not going anywhere: a fact of life. They're a pastiche of different symbols from different philosophies I've been affected by, some to do with people I've known. I have a particular memento mori that's supposed to help me to remember to not waste each day. I have one in Arabic that proclaims me to be a nonbeliever. I have one for my marriage. If I get another it will be for my son, and if I can possibly get another after that it will be for a friend that I lost years ago. They get in my way when I'm trying to use myself as a model for my paintings, but since I can't get rid of them, I may as well embrace them. If only the process wasn't so stupidly expensive.

My data was old. But thanks for checking.

That's an insane unemployment rate for a developed country. Best recollection places unemployment in Australia at around 4.2%. Of course that isn't a fair comparison given the US has a far, far greater population.

It comes down to employers demanding too much of their employees instead of hiring more people (seen as an unnecessary cost), while paying them typically what you could merely just get by on. The wealth disparity in this country is obscene, with the average CEO making 400 times what his average employee makes. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

It's not much better in Australia to be honest.

Tattoos Good looking tattoos.

[~Mere~]

I do not have any tats. It's been an idea tossed around @ times but chose to spend my money otherwise. I haven't discounted the idea altogether. I'm glad I've held out though b/c @ least I have not lived with regrets of a foolish juvenile decision.....regarding tattoos anyway

[deathstorm]

No tats for me.

This is my 'collection' this past monday I sat for 3 1/2 hours getting the outline done for my sleeve. will share pic of it once I find someone I trust enough not to go through my photos after taking one to get a decent shot of the sleeve as it stands

[FatherAlabaster]

Cool! Is it very detailed? Hard to tell from the pic. I don't have any on my ribs, I hear that's the most painful spot. The worst one I ever got was on my chest, thought my inner arm was bad but it was nothing by comparison.

[Mz Hyde]

Sorry about pic quality. The leaves are pretty well detailed, as is the Alice in Wonderland tat - that one is a coverup. I also have one on my back shoulder blade but no way I can show that one off here on my own. I will get some better quality pics when I don't have to take the pics myself. My sleeve is going to be ridiculously detailed/realistic. It is a music sleeve - artist paid so much attention to detail that she even filled out the numbers on the radio dial during the outline. It is going to be sick. I thought the inner arm (inside just under armpit is where part of my sleeve is) was going to hurt more than it did - the one on my hip hurt worse than the ones on my ribs.

[FatherAlabaster]

Good to know, considering I'll never get one on my hip...

@Mz Hyde: That's a beautiful tattoo. I have a sleeve on my arm and one on my calf.

[satan 59]

Had some more work at the weekend but it was mainly a cover up. Soon to be ex's name is now a nice pieces of polynesian black work.

[Woutjinho]

You had a name tattooed? Big mistake...

@Mz Hyde: That's a beautiful tattoo. I have a sleeve on my arm and one on my calf.

How long did that one take you? That`s a rad tat. Love it! I'm still trying to find someone to get a good pic of my sleeve...haven't had a chance to shade it in yet. Been out of work for over a month now.

[Woutjinho]

Thanks! I had two sessions for this. Little less than 4 hours for all the lines and over 4 hours for all the shades.

[Mz Hyde]

Re: Tattoos Here are some shots of my sleeve. Will have better pics in the next few days to show it. I wanna get it shaded but I am so broke right now Sent from my LG-E971 using Tapatalk

[Woutjinho]

That looks very promising. Though it sucks that you have to wait to get it finished. I'm broke at the moment too to fix the tattoo on my calf. Though I'm pretty sure I can do this before the summer. (luckily)

buuuuump [ATTACH=CONFIG]1533[/ATTACH] my only two, an inverted cross design and an homage to the garage my childhood friends and I grew up partying in. I have plans to get a dozen more but usually I have other financial priorities so I have to plan them strategically.

[Sphincter face]

Can't wait to get more, really can't wait to finish my half sleeve, its a slayer divine intervention tat that goes into a tribal hatchet man, and some other shit on the underside of my upper arm, I have a cannibal corpse tat on my forearm from the album cover of live cannibalism and I plan on finishing out my arm with a huge pic of Oderus on the front of my arm http://m.imgur.com/JciAovy,xIE5mgP
