Tattoos
 

Aye, i've always been intrested in tattoos and bodymodification in general (piercings, brandings, scarification and so on).

I've got 4 tattoos as of this moment however one of the tattoos will be worked into a whole sleeve (i.e right arm will be covered in ink) and the one on my back is going thrue an major "remix".

Anyways, I sat in the chair for ~3 hours yesterday and got the lines done for Castle Greyskull (He-man) and Leonardo (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), I am going back on Monday for anoter 3-4-5 hour sit in the chair and hopefully I'll get terminator, another Turtle and maybe the lines for Freddy or Jason done.

My sleeve will be an tribute to my childhood; All the TV-shows, movies and games I really loved as an kid. I will update this topic with pictures on my sleeve for ever visit I had to the tattooparlor:

Pics on my other tattoos will come later (I am just too lazy)..

So post your pics aswell

Looks fab Sebastian! I like your style. I was going to get one a few months ago, but then I spent the money on fags and beer..

Me and the kids saw a bloke on the bus last year who had a tattoed head! Horrible mixture of themes and uggghhh.. He looked really haunted. I fucking stared the bastard out though he was trying to give me the "What you looking at"

Man, he was a suicide case if ever I saw one. But anyway, after he got off we had a good laugh!

Whatever. I like yours though mate. Just don't get fucking Skeletor tattoed on your face though..

Me and my tattooartist acctually talked about strange tattoos yesterday and he said that the worst tattoo he have ever seen was an bloke that had tattooed his brain onto his head.

And it apparently looked real aswell..

Aye, tattoos are really expensive but then again it's something you'll have for the rest of your life and this arm is something I wanted to have done for years now.

It will be really cool once done but i've got loads of more hours before I even begin to color it.

But that's a brilliant idea! If you would have Skeletor tattooed on your face no-one would ask you have you gained weight again.

Looks good Seb...

If you're into body modification you'd love some of the stuff I have been seeing in PNG. I will try to upload a pic later...



I got my first tattoo when I was 14 years old. We lived in Hong Kong then so no need to show ID. I got a Marijuana leaf tattooed on my hip. What a loser... I got a few more after that too, a lizard, 2 dragons, and the words "Hong Kong" below my belly button. They are all pretty crap...

Great that you are happy with your tattoos. Hehe.

I hould get my tattoo project on. Damn that it has to be so expensive. Can't afford it until I get rid of my civilian service burden.

no tatoos here but you can imagine many constellations between my moles...

Jase: Scarification is great indeed, too bad that it isn't anyone in Stockholm that acctually does it.. Well, there are some but then again, If I were to do an scarification I like to do it in a nice clean studio.

More pictures please!

I am also working on my two other projects;

Left leg = Zombies (It's all about the zombies baby! Yeah!). Not the whole leg but I'll get a zombie-tattoo there, i've already got the pictures for it. Almost like an tribute to George A. Romero

Back/Neck/Shoulders = We're working on a design that outta be rather good. I really can't tell you anything more about it right now.

Juho: Aye, tattoo's are bloody expensive.. Just these lines would have cost me about ~2000:- SEK but since I am doing his homepage I got these lines + more for 700:- SEK and I will always get a really nice price for my other tattooes. So I am happy

My new tattoo! Hoho! As Juho put it; noone's asked me if I gained weight!

You would have thought he'd get the acne tattooed out whilst he was there..

Stupid bastard.

I just got back from a ~3 hour session.. Man, I am so tired now, it's unbelivable and my bloody skin burst so we couldn't get the other turtle finished, but that's ok. I got another appointment this Thursday instead.

Well, I got the outlines for an Alien now aswell.. Nice nice!

But I am bloody tired, pics later on..

Oooo. Now that I do wanna see!

Hell yeah!

Show the gore!

I posted pics of the aftermath of my shoulder surgery a year and a half ago...

It ain't much too look at, that my skin burst was only bad because you can't get the ink to stick inside.. It just bleeds out and I bleed really much yesterday.

My arm is really.. painful today! Pics will come after this thursday when I had my other session

Take your time, Sebastian.

If you wait past this Thursday in order to let the skin/arm heal a bit more you might be more comfortable, and maybe get a better result.

Or, you could just numb the pain with beer...

;)

Well, it's an rather usual event that the skin bursts open and all the ink can't really stick since it bleeds too much.

Since I am doing my whole arm, I will just go to another place on the arm to continue with my wholesleeve.

Beer good, but not while getting an tattoo.. besides it doesn't really hurt that much.

Owch! Maybe you could put a scene of some comic getting his head blown off in the part where your skin burst..?

Hang in there Sebastian.

First pics look really good 3o3! Last bit sounded painful. Did you go this thursday, or did you let it heal a bit more?



That is seriously freaky, but so cool. How do they do that stuff?!

My tattooartist was preparing for the party so we decided to get another appointment instead (which I missed.. d'oh!).

However I think it's better to let it heal abit more until I continue and my alien (Alien 1-figure) has healed pretty well! But the other turtle really suffered from that "skinburst". Well, it's not anything that couldn't be fixed..

We are planning on putting some Spaceinvaders-figures above Castle Greyskull but I think that we'll go ahead with the Terminator 1-poster first on the inside of my arm.. and E.T. I'll just see how far we go this time, as there is so much detail everything takes _loads_ of time.. I've already been working on my arm for ~8 hours and all I got to show for it is Castle Greyskull, 2 turtles and an alien. But it will be all good once it's done!

The picture above is called scarification, you cut away the flesh and everyday the following weeks, you remove the scab and caress salt into the wound.. (This is how it's done in the western countries), I've heard that they use mud/faeces to get an infection so you get these nice scars in Africa. I have no idea what they do in PNG, maybe jase could answer? It's all about getting an infection so the body makes the scar even bigger and more visible. I think it's really cool and would love one myself.. but..

It's quite hard to find any place in Sweden that acctually makes these scarifications and since I really don't got any place on my body for it.. I'll just leave it alone.. I will be covered in ink once I am done with all my tattoos.

I am already looking at atleast +200 hours for my bodysuit.

Would you like some more coffee, Sven?

Fuck off mother. You pig

Erm. Some more cake then?

No. You bitch.

Alright. Your Aunt Rose is in hospital, by the way.

Good. Capitalist bitch.

Yes. She has to have an appendectomy.

Fucking serves her right.

Very unusual at her age.

Bitch.

Oh well, how have you been keeping?

I hate you.

Yes. Well your father should be in soon. He's just finishing shovelling the snow.

Twat.

I see you still haven't got a girlfriend..

FUCK OFF MOTHER

Have some coffee, son. You useless bastard..
