Quoting: F Body
I really hate my body but not enough to tattoo or pearce it
My body started as a blank canvas.
The way I look at is if I drowned someplace and washed up on a beach somewhere I want to be instantly recognisible.
No questions asked.
Tattoo's are about individuality - which is why I HATE people who get the same ole' same ole' tats done . . Pointless.
Tattooing isn't about hating your body either, that's just a totally ignorant statement.

just out of interest how much does a tattoo cost ?
ALL of mine are custom work so are done by the hour (£50-£60).
For example : My first tattoo was my Surname, on my left arm, it took about 4 hours in two hits - £185.
The next was the "dot poz" flames which occupy most of my right arm.
3 sittings - a total of 6 and a half hours - £300.
The latest, a statement arranged in Anglo-saxon runes, transcribed by myself and checked by a rune-master was just 40 minutes - Thankfully.
This was by far the most painful experience (physically) I've endured.
It worked out to be £45.
Tattooists charge a "set-up" fee so the minimum you'll pay is that.
It's unadvisable to have work exceeding 2-3 hours done in one hit . . . Your body will go into a mild shock and mentally you'll get VERY iritated.

Can never decide if its a good idea or not though...
And most never do . . . Just try to be original . . . That's most of the battle.

Also, who do you use for your tatoos?
Hilly, at Milton Keynes . . . Although I'm gonna "shop around" next time as the next couple are critical that they're spot-on.
