Everyone knows that tattoos hurt but where hurts the most is a topic of much debate. Thanks to shows like Ink Master we know where is generally painful such as ribs or the top of the feet. As I have said many times everyone experiences pain differently and at different times, remember my story about how one of the tattoos on my chest was borderline unbearable but the same place on the other side was fine? Well, I suppose this is why it is such a debate, well as we sell tattoo needles, the culprit of this pain, we thought we'd get in on the debate.
Today I want to look at some cool designs people have gotten on their... Underbutt... for want of a better word! I don't have any tattoos there myself, I think I would be too self-conscious to sit with my butt in the face of some poor tattoo artists but people more confident that I have done that and the results are pretty neat! Here at Magnum Tattoo Supplies, we sell tattoo needles wholesale but we also love seeing the creative things people are doing with their body art! So let's have a look at some of these cool and sexy designs people have been getting.
I came across an article recently in The Guardian written by a mother who was heartbroken about her son getting a tattoo. This got me thinking, I understand that there are still people out there who don’t approve or like tattoos, but I still find it difficult to comprehend. Now as I have said before my mum wasn’t exactly a fan of tattoos when I first started getting them, she has since changed her attitude after learning more about them and now has tattoos herself. There were a few things that stood out to me in this article, some things that the mother said that I wanted to talk about, something that the son I think could have done differently and attitudes to tattoos from our parents. “What do your parents think?” is such a common question for heavily tattooed people so let’s take that apart a little bit. We talk about new tattoo care here but what about the people they care about and their impressions of our tattoos?
So over the last few years more and more people have been getting tattoos, and when something becomes popular there are bound to fads surrounding that come and go. Now I’m not saying that people don’t get these tattoos anymore, I’m just saying that there was a surge in the volume of these tattoos in the last couple of years, and once my Pinterest page would be plastered with these kinds of tattoos and now I don’t see them so much anymore. Here at MTS, we sell tattoo supplies but we also make lists! So let’s have a look at some of the tattoos that came and went.
Getting your first tattoo can be an anxiety ridden experience, you know it’s going to hurt, no one likes to be hurt, you know you are putting your skin into the hands of a stranger essentially unless you personally know the tattooist then great! There are tonnes of posts on how to prepare for your tattoo, research the studios, speak to the artists, picking a design you love and one that is achievable, but what is it actually like to sit in the chair and get it done? As a tattoo equipment supplier, we are familiar with the process and want to familiarise you so you know exactly what to expect and hopefully conquer at least some of those first tattoo nerves!
So the new season of Game of Thrones kicked off on Monday for us here in the UK, you can rest assured that this post will not spoil anything from the latest episode, we are only going to be looking at some of the tattoos Game of Thrones fans have gotten as an ode to their favourite series. What better way to get in the mood for a return to violence and… the other stuff than looking over some awesome tattoo inks dedicated to the lore of Westeros. This isn't really a count down of quality just of ones I thought were the coolest. Feel free to leave a comment if you disagree.
