I'm absolutely delighted as I've just had the most awful tattoo covered-up with what I think is a great custom tattoo by Calum Mcwilliam in Inverness!

Aw wow that is lovely! :Razz Very nice indeed.
But now am itchin to get my next tattoo if my OH would pull his finger oot his hoop and tattoo me again!! [evil][lol]
I like it a lot, very bold and if it covers up a tattoo you regret getting, you certainly wouldn't know by looking!

Sounds good if you are trying to replace a bad one with a good one. Tatoos depend on the society you live in. Some think they are good. Others think they are gross. I had to go through life with people frowning on me and not accepting my tatoos.
yes, old marine they are gross and why young little girlies disfigure their bodies for beats me.......They will have an awful fright when they get to eighty and end up in the old folks home.......But saying that they won't be caring. Me being an old codger thinks its awful:lol: to see a bride in their finery sporting gross tatoos across their backs....why do they do it? attention seeking???? Surely it must be something like that or what cause it aint beautiful that is for sure.
i dinna lek a tattoo on a woman .
i lek a woman til speak galeic softly in ma loog , any offerer 's ?
Weeboyagee speaks gaelic - oh sorry woman! :)
i 'm no wantin wee boyagee and i dinna hink his doll 's learned til speak yet . :(
i 'm no sayin a woman wi tattoo 's is wrong , i choost dinna lek em and wudna go wi a tattooed woman .

Sorry but i find this rather discriminating. I have 4 tattoo's. A few are quite large and to be honest i love them all because they all have meaning.
No i am not attention seeking. I rarely show them.
Tattoos are not "gross" as u said, and if you are saying women with tattoo's are not beautiful i will have you know you are mistaken because i am gorgeous! And no im not vein, i just love myself. Same as any woman should. ;)

no , i just dinna lek tattoo 's on lassie ;s .

At the end of the day it is up to them and i as one of the women who want a tattoo certinaly won't be taking anyone elses opinion into it when i go to get it down.
Tattoos are not gross and to say inistinuate that they are only for men is very discrimianting(spelling). Tattoos are a freedom and no one who gets one done does it for attention. That's narrow minded.
Lovely tattoo Julia, it looks great.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
One person may think someone is a minger, but to another is as a goddess!
I also have 2 tattoos and I never really show them off but that is besides the point. It is my body and if I choose to take the time to find the artwork and a great tattoist to put it on my body where I choose it to be then it really is nobody elses business.
Beautiful Tatt Julia, the guy has done a cracking job.

Terry's Tattoo's is really good. You have to get there early when they open at 9am. Go up Argyle St to the very top as if your going to the Barras, it's past TJ Hughes on the right, down a side street. Don't go to the one at the other end up the stairs (can't mind the name but it's bogging)

i wont be in glasgow until 4, so will have to be done on sat evening or sunday
I think they could be open until about 9pm? they are open Sunday's too.
I've just added a pic of the original tattoo to my first post - I wanted it covered because as it healed the ink leaked out under my skin causing a large blue bruise like effect.
Thanks for all you comments.

Nice tattoo. I like the design but will say that tattoos on woman, well will keep that opinion to myself. I dont think they are lady like no matter where it is but if you happy.
Wot a difference Julia.Looks lovely,thanks to your recommendation Calum has another booking for April.

Well said MasterSplinter, you are entitled to your opinion and I respect that, as you say they are not to everybody's taste but for me personally I like them and I like carrying some art with me wherever I go.
I must add too that personally I do not like arm tattoos on women, I think it makes them look butch and unwomanly, I like tattoos but not ALL tattoos or placements.

im wanting 2 single hearts. They are representing the 2 years of pure happiness i have been with my partner. I dont want to be silly and get his name across my back, so i thought 2 little hearts would be nice.
Not sure where i want them yet, but i am going to get 1 very well hidden. ;)

Opinions are just that opinions, i remember seeing some huge woman one day with tatts and they were all stretched and out of place, nasty looking.But each to their own.

Nice Tatt Julia, good cover up job.
A question for those that don't like tattoos on women -
if you met a lassie and got to know her and liked her as a person, then some months later you met up one day and found out she had a tattoo, would your opinion of her change?
if the answer is yes i find that very shallow - take people for wha and how they are, not for anything they have on themselves - to me it's personality and character that counts.
btw i have 14 tattoos and don't regret a single one.

got my tongue done no complaints (blush) :lol:
its amazing how most people dont even notice its there. a friend of mine for at least 6 years never noticed
i would not advise having it done though as it is a big risk and it has broken a few of my teeth:(
young and foolish but thats being young i suppose
I've got my tongue pierced too, had it done in 1996 and still can't contemplate the idea of not having it, it hasn't affected my teeth either so I've been quite lucky. I have 10 ear piercings including both tragi and my right helix.
Here is my latest tattoo too, i had it done by one of the top female freehand tattoo artists in europe. It is a sign of empowerment, which i designed and she improved and both myself and my hubby love it.

This is really nice did it not hurt? always wanted to get one never had the balls to go through with it
Julia, that is an outstanding piece of work, very feminine and an improvement over the origional. What studio does Calum work from.

But isnt what your saying that its Ok for "Skinny" people to get pierced but not "larger" people, isnt that both Sexist (as you refer to women) and weightist(as you dont agree with larger people having a life).
Whatever happened to live and let live?,maybe the lady in question didnt like the cut of your jib,but is she bitter about it? Doubt it she's probably quite happy with her lot and doesnt discriminate!!:roll:

I would be reluctant to get a tattoo for that very reason. It may seem like a good idea at the time but as the years go on, regret may set in. A no longer wanted piercing is very easy to conceal but a tattoo will be with you forever.

yes a tattoo is with you forever, so far my oldest tattoo is 26 years old, i still have no regrets, i'm no spring chicken either and still keep thinking about another one when funds permit a little treat. The idea is to have a LOT of thought about what you want and where you want it.... and will you still be proud of it age 60+
some nice tatts there people..would post a photo o my new one that i got last week but its sorta scabby just now...

I love my tattoo's! Think they are awsome and so far no regrets and i am sure it will stay that way when i add to my collection!
But i felt the piercings just got in my way really. And when i got pregnant i thought i better take out the belly bar...lol.
No one still willing to answer the above query?
I am waiting to see a reply too. Personality first i think. But my OH loves my tattoo's and thinks it is 'sexy' :eek::lol: He must be wanting a brew....lol
Hello there
I am new here and have been reading this thread with great interest.
I have one tattoo at the moment but i do have 17 piercings. I also had 4 other piercings but they grew out. Tattoos and piercings are a very personal thing. They all mean different things to different people.
It is a shame that in this day and age people are judged and denigrated for having tattoos etc.
All the tattoos I have seen in this thread and others are wonderful, brilliant pieces of art, not what I may choose for myself but as a say, they are a personal thing.

Now Tugperson, to me that is a kind of 'trick' question in that you start off on the premise that someone does not like tattoos on wimmin per se. For me who is indifferent to tattoos of course its personality and character that counts (as well as figure,face & money in't bank) and I doubt if anyone who is anti-tattoo is going to come forward and say " Yes - I am a very shallow person and I have gone off you now because of this or that tattoo".
btw I knew you had 12 tats - where have ewe hidden the other two ?

haha no tellin ya! ;)
not a trick question, it is a very plausible scenario :D
my oh has tattoos and i think they look good.i think woman can carry off tatts as long as they have good ones and not home made crappy ones.
I do have to agree with some of the comments, that tatts can look awfuy on some people wether it be male or female if the are very big, skin stretches and if they do lose weight the tatt tends to look silly. But thats just my opinion. I love my oh with hers.She would not be her without them, she has a great personality and is honest to go with it.And her legs are great too.:lol:
Piercings. well we both have piercings including tongues, eyebrows, nose and ears.
