panhead_pete 27 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Looks like there are at least two shops in town. Its likely that you will have to book in anyway so perhaps cruise by both of them and check out their work. If you want to be received well go in with a clear understanding of what you want, be respectful and dont cry (out loud ) Another option is to look for a custom motorcycle shop in the area and see who they recommend or anyone you see around who has ink. Good luck and enjoy it. Link to post Share on other sites

nagpants 1 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Wonder if simple things like eating/drinking/sleeping are uncomfortable for that dude?! What a complete nutter. Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 Originally Posted By: CptSlow um might sound really silly to anyone that doesnt know me, Sounds like the perfect tattoo to me - personal. Try and get exactly what you want at the size you want sorted before you go in. Will save you time and $ and you'll get it exactly right. Please post a pic when its done. Im due for some more soon myself. Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 What's the plan pete, a complete body cover? Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 Possibly - but unlikely. Will do my back next. Got the start of it set up a couple months ago when in Bali, both the dragon (China) and Koi (Japan) will run down the sides of my back. Just need to find the time to get it done.

Im due for some more soon myself. Yip I have actually found a place and emailed them, he requested an image so going to get that sorted and sent before we get to Japan. Cool will do. I'm actually getting one on Friday too, its been 7 years since i've had some ink so very excited. On Friday i am getting "ureshii" tattooed on my wrist. Wow your tatts are so cool, must have hurt a fair bit. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 What will you do when you are "kanashii"? Perhaps the other wrist? I'm still deciding on whether to get a steak or meat/potato pie on my forehead. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still deciding on whether to get a steak or meat/potato pie on my forehead. Its not something i try to be often, so am happy not to be reminded of it, "ureshii" signify's my love for the snow and how i feel when i am in it, and also Japan Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Perhaps "thoroughly pissed off" around the bottom area? And very happy in small letters on a willy that will get bigger when the boy is very happy. pie-eater, I'd go with the steak. Link to post Share on other sites
