looks good so far.
As for pain, mine took about 5 days to settle down. Just felt like sunburn.
Just keeping it topped up with bepanthen now.
Got to have a few bits touched though.

How do you work that one out?

It's quite clearly a spark plug and piston.

Clarkey · 2 Aug 2007 at 11:08

took me a few seconds to figure out what it was tbh

that's outstanding mate. glad you finally got it done, been years in the making hasn't it?

PardonTheWait · 3 Aug 2007 at 10:23

It's been a couple of years yeah - I never got round to this one, I had others inbetween but always avoided this one because I wanted it so much and wanted it to be right I think.
I'm chuffed with it though

Controversial!

But I agree. It's been said a few times now - but what on earth is it?

No.

This is quite clearly a spark plug.

This is quite clearly a piston.

Looks like neither!

but that should be all fixed when the colour goes on

I think it looks good without the colour at the moment. Although i don't know what you have planned colour wise. Have you got any drawings of the colour version?

SGCWill · 3 Aug 2007 at 10:49

very nice - looks like a spark plug and a piston & rod to me!

The picture you've posted of the piston is a piston in a bore, with valves and other assorted gubbins. In my picture, it's just a piston and rod.

The spark plug you've posted is almost identical to the one on my arm - the one on my arm is twisted. It's just new school style, straight lines are out :cool:

i recon you should keep it black and grey as well btw.

Nice...I would like to see it greyscale once it has calmed down as I think it will look great.

then you're obviously some sort of woman/homosexual

fieldy · 4 Aug 2007 at 10:26

Oh dear - the tattooist has a sense of humour

Tru · 4 Aug 2007 at 11:01

Nice looking tattoo, should look awesome with some colour.

HAHAHA good one, do you think a technically accurate schematic of a spark plug and piston would be better? He's not a ****ing Haynes manual you know.
