Had this one done. Every tattoo i have means something - had this one done to cover over a scar which had a titanium plate the entire length of it!
Was because of a head injury i've had and some people gave up on me. The type of head injury i had depression and suicide were symptoms of it so i had this to constantly remind me to never give up on myself! I'm now one of a few 1000 who have ever attempted to cycle London-Paris in less than 24hrs for charity! :)

Without trying to be overly critical, the lines and spacing are atrocious.

No worries - no matter what people say about it i know what it means to me and what it's got me through. :)

I'm not a big fan of the lines either. Spacing is fine as it was all done on PC so no spaces- this is how the text is. :) When i have the next one done it'll be tidied up. Because so much of was done over scar tissue there was always the issue of ink 'bleeding' which i knew and accepted. :)

Liverpool tattoo convention was wicked, my tattooist tattooed me in a gimp mast for a few hours and had a great sign which got some strange looks "Free gay hats for kids." Was a lively booth he had, 6 hours on my leg, was the hardest session I've ever had, the head in there was horrible and was weird getting tattooed in front of loads of people.

How is 6 hours at once?.

Got my first session in about 8 weeks (6 hours), then another 4 6 hour sessions - so will be interested to know what it's like :).

Would be funny if I can't stand being tattooed.

Had 2x8hr sessions recently, not really found the longer sessions any worse than the short ones I've had.

Sure you'll enjoy it :)

Got an 8hour session coming up this Friday, hoping to get the full sleeve done in one shot!
