Show us ya TATTS!! ( dial-up warning )

[English]

Yeah, wasn't actually meaning to sound as I was taking the piss out of the girl. It was kinda an observation that tattooing has become just like society - homogenised and a bit predictable.

best part about this though is that finally i and many others might find acceptence in the work force and general population.. for a very long time wore long sleeves to work due to the discrimination i would recieve. lucky i am in community health now and can wear tee's a shorts without fear..

i actually hid my ink for 5 months in my current job and then decided to explain to my manager and she laughed at me for being crazy..

maybe also i will be able to ink my hands and neck very soon and not fear missing out on a job that i am skilled at to someone with lesser skills based on my appearance..

those 18 year old kids don't give a monkey's inking up their necks and hands before anything else and i do worry for them and their future.. but really it is not my place to call..

the positive is that they are making it easier for me to push my ink further!

I understand where you're comming from, and agree for the most part but I have to say there's some amazing art being produced around the world by some incredibly talented artists.
There's good reason why alot of the better tattooists will only do custom work.

Absolutely.... however to develop their skills they all would have started doing skulls and stars and footy emblems and dolphins over belly buttons.
