This is primarily a place to talk about tattoos, share designs, show off pictures of things we have or want and also share our experiences of tattoos (good or bad). I will occasionally stray to other topics which might leave you thinking “Where in the name of all that is holy is he going with this?!” but I promise there will be a reason for it.

Bad Tattoo and Cover-up



Welcome back! If you haven't already done so, make sure you subscribe and share for your chance to win the end of the month prize giveaway. (Winner will be announced 29th October)

Last time I touched upon my fondness of tattoos, a possible explanation as to the origins of my love for tats and then showed off the beauty that was my very first tattoo. Looking back at some of your own responses I’d like to mention Jenny A for their submission – I love the story behind this tattoo.

This time I’ll tell you all about my 21st birthday and the matching tattoos my friend and I have. Being a 20 year old male, living the young and single life, working in a restaurant and bar, socializing and drinking in a town known for its student nights… all things that can make a tattoo like this inevitable.

During my teenage years I couldn’t get enough of the films targeted to the “typical teenager” (American Pie, Road Trip, Euro Trip and the sort). One of the best for me was ‘Dude Where’s My Car?’ I thought it was hilarious. So much so that even after almost a decade of its release… for my 21st Birthday… we used a scene from ‘Dude Where’s My Car?’ to inspire us to get our matching tattoos.

We have the words Dude, Sweet and Shibby tattooed on our backs. (unfortunately the tattooist was just happy to take our money without really taking the sizing into consideration so I’m left with something that doesn’t resemble what it should).




Which makes me think, what bad tattoos have you got? Is it a case of it not meeting your expectations or is it just something that you shouldn’t have had done in the first place?
With the new series Tattoo Fixers Extreme, I’ve been watching repeats of Tattoo Fixers lately and the amount of “I was drunk” or “I went to Magaluf” stories is just unreal. There are the odd times that the tattoo has just been done badly and the person is wanting it covered.

The way they manage to transform these old things into new pieces is sometimes amazing. I’ve been looking at options myself to cover up my Chinese writing (I’ll touch back on this at a later date). How about you, have you had a cover-up? Care to share your before and after pics?

Post your comments below and email your pictures to b00292028@gmail.com, the best one will be featured in the next post and will be entered into the prize giveaway (Winner will be announced 29th October).
Until next time. Tat’ll do.
