New Ink

I have, for the last couple of monts been thinkin of getting a new tattoo. Seeing as the Inland Revenue have decided to give me back some money , hopefully quite soon. I'm gonna have a look at the price of my choice of new ink, and which artist to intrust this art to.

I've decided to have a Celtic Love Knot on the inside of my left forearm, with Maureen's full name centered above, and her DOB and DOD centered below.

The attached piccy is a Celtic Love Knot, to give you an idea of what it looks like.

That's a good way to perpetuate her memory, not that you would ever forget, but the permanancy of the tattoo is making that statement, I feel - nice one EoB

Yes - it's a lovely design EoB - I go to calligraphy classes and we have been doing Celtic designs - they are very intricate and that one you have is particularly nice. What a lovely memorial to a lovely lady.

nice one , i reckon something that intricate , depending on size is going to cost at £100 , well worth it imho

Thank's homealone, Chimaera and paulyoung666.

I'll prolly go for a tattoo 50 or 60 mmm in diameter, but as to 'outline' or a 'solid' design, I have'nt decided yet.

Good choice, I have a similar design on the top of my right arm (without the dates)

Well it's your choice I suppose but I have never understood why people want tatoo's - I think they are a complete waste of money. Sorry if that's not what you want to hear but that's my view on them.

Im not much for tattoo's... Would you still want it when your old and your skins not what it used to be?

Anyway, the design is quite nice if you decide to go with it

No worries Pem, ink is'nt you're thing and I can respect that. Please, speak you're mind. While I'll not listen I will read you're post.

Well Maureen's family are of Irish origin, and she had talked about getting this as a tattoo. So I think it's a fitting symbol of how I feel.

I always wanted one. I think one or maybe two is cool. Anymore and its not good - take note Mr Beckham.

While I don't know the background, your idea is lovely and touching. A lovely tribute.

Pardon!?

Really nice design, hope you like it and something to remind you of Maureen in a way that is personal to you

I want another one on my back but not found what I want yet. They are like Jaffa Cakes I think, one is never enough

Have you tattoo's already
If so does it hurt

I would say no but then a mans perspective may be different
