Advcie

Hi Guys,

I need some advice here.

I have now got two full sleeves (shoulder to wrsit) and I am not 100%
happy with them. When I went to the tattooist first I explained what I
wanted, and he seemed to know exactly, so I left it up to him. At
first I loved them, but for some reason I have gone off them. The
colours remain bright and the sleeves are very 'in your face'.

I cover them as often as I can with a long sleeve shirt, but there is
this part of me that keeps nagging that I paid for them so I should put
them on display. Has anyone else had this sort of experience?

I am now beginning to regret ever having them.

Thanks,

Paul

Paul,

How about posting some pictures of them so we have a better idea of what
you've got?

I've never actually regretted getting a tattoo done yet but I did have
rather a large piece on my forearm that I gradually grew to dislike a little
that I've since had re-worked.

I've had more work done since then but I've not got around to getting any
pics uploaded yet. Me bad! :o)

Take care,


Rusty.

Thanks for your reply Rusty.

I was just being over-dramatic. I have sat back and looked at my
sleeves, and now like them, I should have waited until they were 100%
complete before moaning about it!

They make a statement about me, my personality, and if people can't see
past them then that is their problem. I am going to take a few pics of
them very soon, I'll let you know when I have.

Thanks a lot,

Paul
