Jason Sutties tatoos must have been so painful. I'm not sure if these types of traditional Kiwi tattoos are done with a regular tattooing gun, but I'm sure the alternative tools would be even harder to tolerate.
Sandy
Your tattoos look like the ones you used to get when you was a kid with a piece of bubble gum.
my latest :sacred heart
No i dont eat bubblegum and i hate tattoos especally them silly arm bands
Jason Suttie's Tattoos are traditonal Samoan tatoos. It is called a Pea and starts at his navel and goes right down to his knees. They took some 27 hours over two days and were done using traditonal tattoo equipment, so think tap,tap, tap.
Well if you hate tattoos, then why you on a tattoos thread!?!?
The only difference between people with tattoos and people without tattoos is that people WITH tattoos dont give a SH*T if you dont have tattoos...
Christian
Sorry
I thought it was a site about thaiboxing !!!
I dont like tattoos but thats up to you, But now its like a fashion statement not same as the 60s & 70s gang tattos which 90% of people who have em now would have hated them up to 5 years ago !!!
How long have you had your tattoos on and how old are you !!!
Most of tattos where put on when they where in there early teens not early 40s.
The armband tattoos are s**t origanal stuff o.k. but everybody in every street have them stupid arm band designs on walking about in vests when its -40 he he he insecure or what is it a cry for help LOOK AT ME !!! he he he
Yep the site is about KB, MT & SS but the thread is about Tattoo's.
Sometimes getting tattoos is a mistake, i have another on my shoulder that i try & not show too many folk as of what it is. At the time i thought it was great but that was 7 years ago whwen i was only 16.
So you are right, why get them when you may either go off the certain tattoo or they may end up faded & not looking too good. Hey thats life though nothing lasts forever.........
Your right also about the originality factor, i dont see the point in loads of folk getting the same kind of design/idea, each tattoo you have/get should say something about you, what you are about & interested in if need be.
Sandy's tattoo is cool though as one is a bit different from the other, not everyone has that tattoo, tribal patterns yeah but not the one he has & if they do then they copied, Sandy "McOriginal Is His Middle Name" Holt!!........lol
JMO!!
I have three Japanese symbols around my midriff, don't have pics of them all though. They mean honour, courage and freedom (at least that's what I was told!!!). I've had one done for the last three years and have no regrets.
I have a copy of an artist's sketch of an Elephant on my upper right arm with some Thai script underneath. The Thai script says 'Jai Korng Chiang'(hopefully spelt correctly).I know what this means because it was done for me by a Thai friend but who will be the first with the right answer on here ???
Answers on a postcard please !
I will post a picture as soon as I can download one from my camera.
Cheers
FB (Waiting for loads of wrong abusive answers) !!!
LOL
i have a few tatts want a few more muaythai ones.no regrets either although i did come close!!!
Do tatoos with a lot of bright colour fade?
If so, then how long would it be till they look pretty shit?!
Is it best to tatoos made from dark shades? ie. like all black?
The Big Man - yep, all tattoos fade after time, especially if they're exposed to sunlight frequently. Even black ones begin to lose their colour after a couple of years. I've known people who have had their original tattoos coloured again when they get too pale.
M
black looks better for longer your meant to get em "topped up" every 10 years or so,i think black and grey ones look better anyways.
Yeah i agree, black ones are better though they do fade not as quickly as bright coloured ones but they do eventually. Getting a few coloured tattoos, you end up looking like a child's colouring book!!........lol
Some coloured tattoos are not bad but the ones that people get of cartoon characters, especially men who do, i think is daft, they look a bit tacky!!

"Vote Republican"?.....inside joke for those of you who aren't from the States
I'm not sure what korng means
First Prize to Mark L., exaactly that 'Heart of an Elephant'.
Some of the women I have met suggest it should say 'Hung like an Elephant'
LOL
FB
Top Tattoo FB. do they make you self deluded as well :)
What do I win? :P
I love elephants. I was just learning how to write elephant the other day. Can't say I remember though. I do recognize 4 different letters though...but knowing what it said in helped me on a couple I wasn't sure about and may not have remembered though recognized.
Oneday maybe. :)
damned i've been off line too long,
i sawe the picture and was going to say "the heart of the elephant"
or "elephants heart" or "with elephants heart"
as it could be any of those.
then saw Mark L beat me to it :-(
Well done mark,
Kong is belonging too, or with
(i'm reading a book, for 5 yr olds, with pictures, and the writting is divided into words, lol, but it is called Ya kong manee "malee's gran" (ya with mai eck -which looks like an apostrophe or single ' to be more precise- so in high tone; Not "malee's drugs" which would be a far more interesting storey but probably not suitable for 5 yr olds :-P)
Well done Mark L,
your thai is coming along well.
you learning cho chang i take it?
as apossed to cho ga cheu and chor ching.
i keep getting cho ching and cho chang mixed up, so my tones are off.
ARRRGHH
stupid stupid language
BTW sandy,
where did you get you tat done,
Or who transcribed it for you.
I was worried when i first saw it, as i thought "that is close, but it doesn't say muaythai, as the T in thai is all wrong ..... but it is in laos, not thai!
so was it done in the north east? or did the translater come from there?
i have only one tat at the mo.
a pentegrame with a crcle going through it,
for protection from evil.
sorry, no photos available......
Anyone got a picture of Muay Thai written in Thai please, it's for someone at the gym.
Thanks
Yes, look at Sandy's arm.
JD,
Speak to kkass, his profile is on here. He does lots of translations and is also a top artist.

Talking tattoo and graffiti. Tattoo made by Sture from ColorBlind tattoo studio in Copenhagen. ( www.colorblind.dk )
P.S. It is not mine tattoo, but I love the letters and style!!
Are they your own designs?
No, it is not my own designs. The “Sofie” letters and tattoo is made by Alexander, who is an 1st class tattoo and graffiti artist. He works together with Sture in Colorblind tattoo studio, properly the best tattoo studio in Denmark.
They also do airbrush work and shirts and motorcycles etc. As you can see on the picture above of Run DMC, they are more than pretty good.
Yep, top quality work Oliver
Same airbrush work of DMC made as an tattoo.

Bruce Lee Tattoo
Wow, that is the best portrait tattoo I think I've seen (Bruce Lee).
This thread must be really old, I've had my 4th tattoo done since my last post and am off to see my tattooist about a 5th design next week!
Hey Oliver,
Was that a Danish tattooist that did that Bruce Lee portrait??
I am looking to get a portrait done sometime soon, but i want it to be as good as that, not like some of the ones you see get done!!
Oliver,
Nice to see you finally posted your pics. Great work!!!!
Mini - I agree the Bruce Lee portrait is F**Kin superb!!
FB'Slim
The Bruce Lee Tattoo is made by Tom Renshaw, USA.
Homepage: http://www.tomrenshaw.com/galleries.htm
He is a true master!
If you like portraits and live in the big USA, Tom Renshaw and Bob Tyrrell are the best. Try them next time.
Here's another link for a tattoo parlour in the states... http://www.deluxetattoo.com/ If I lived near Ben Wahhhh, I'd definitely go to him, his colour work is amazing.
My tattooist is Jason Saga, who has just recently moved from Evil in the Needle (Camden Town) to Into You (in the Angel) http://www.sagatattoo.com
Check out the tiger he did for me....
Tiddles!
I had 'Our lass'(or the equivalent) in thai on my forearm.It was because my brother and a couple of mates have their girlfriends names tattooed on them so I did it to take the piss really but I wanted some thai writing as It looks good so I thought kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
If you like Japanese tattoos (My favorite style!), check out the Yellow Blaze Tattoo homepage. Shige from Yellow Blaze Tattoo in Japan, is one of the best in the world to make " Japanese New School Tattoos", he master the art of combining water, flowers, Koi fish, dragons and Noh mask together so it looks like it was painted.
I am having a "Japanese sleeve" on my right arm, it is in progress and has taken about 16 hours to make, and it is almost finish. I just need some shadow and effects, and it is almost done. Shige has been a big inspiration for my sleeve; he has sent me some custom made drawings – so I can highly recommend a visit to his homepage, if you like the Japanese style and motives.
Here is his address: http://www.yellowblaze.net/

I know someone with 'born and bread in britain' tattooed on there back
Oliver
Where was the tattoo done with the hands with the cross the detail is brilliant.
Steive:
When you say "where", do you mean where on the body or who made it?
It is made by Bob Tyrrell..... Here is a link:
http://bobtyrrell.com/galleries.htm
Yay, just got my dragon done yesterday (7/7/03)!!!! Will post some pics later today when I get a chance.
Oliver - who did the American Indian? I love the detail and the colouring on the leaves is awesome!
Wicked tat Miniluv... ur gonna be covered at this rate...lol!
Hunks - Thanks and I've got so much more space to cover!!! The possibilities are endless! lol
Miniluv:
You are so right, the American Indian and the leaves is awesome!! First class work, amazing colors and shadow.
I can’t remember the name of the artist, but I will let you know as soon as possible...ok.
So is your new dragon, I love it!
Your Mad ! But "quality" Miniluv ! Lol :-p
We'll have to start calling you Lydia.
*hint - Marx Bros reference.
Lydia the tattoo'd lady or something like that isn't it Yug? It was also sung by Kermit the Frog!
Oh Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?
Lydia The Tattooed Lady.
She has eyes that folks adore so,
and a torso even more so.
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia.
Oh Lydia The Queen of Tattoo.
On her back is The Battle of Waterloo.
Beside it, The Wreck of the Hesperus too.
And proudly above waves the red, white, and blue.
You can learn a lot from Lydia! .......
(Just for you Yug)
Sandy - thanks, I guess I have to be a bit mad to keep going through all this pain!
Just like Miniluv, I also started a new tattoo project the 7th of July 2003. Mine new tattoo is not a dragon, but a “graffiti” tattoo saying: Angel.
I got my inspiration from the godfather of Graffiti, Seen! If you know and like graf, you also know Seen from da Bronx.
I am trying to ad my own personal style from his drawing, changing the name, letters and details, and hopefully it will end up pretty beautiful and personal. My new “Angel” tattoo is placed right above my “Sofie” tattoo, which is the name of my daughter.
I will post 3 pictures so you can see how I got my inspiration, my draft for the tattoo and the first part of the needlework. I still got about 4-5 hours in the chair before it finish. So the picture of my tattoo is only the first line from the needle.
Here is the first picture showing a drawing made by Seen. This is from this photo I got my inspiration.
Here is the draft for my tattoo, saying angel.
Here is a picture of the first part of my new tattoo, started the 7th July. Still a long way to go before it is finish, but now it is started. Hopefully it will be finish on august the 12th next months.
Let the pain begin:)
Wow, nice and flash Oliver, really like it! Who or what are Lykke and Ditte? Are you going to add colour or just have it shaded?
Miniluv,
Thanks.
I am going to add color in the 8-ball and in the fire coming up in the letters, otherwise I think I am going to keep in grey, black and white.
Lykke and Ditte are my two Border Collie dogs – or was! I lost both my loving dogs in less than 8 months to sickness, so this is my way to remember them. That is also why I am having an 8-ball, as symbolic for bad luck.
They where the best two dogs in the world, and I loved them more than anything.
R.I.P. old friends!
I know that this topic is about tat2 and not dogs, but I could not help it.
Here is a picture of my beloved Border Collie, Lykke.
Here is a picture of my beloved Border Collie, Ditte.
Oliver, sorry to hear that, I feel the same about my little dog Jack, he's a miniature schnauzer and definitely part of the family.
Thanks Yug!
I am sorry too.
Photo of Miniluv:)
Hey hey, cheeky! Lol!
Sorry to hear about your dogs Oliver, they were beautiful.....
Now that is some artwork, beautiful and down right scary at the same time.... those eyes at the bottom freak me out!
Reminds me of the film I watched over the weekend - Dog Soldiers!
Miniluv,
The eyes on the bottom wolf is so real, it is truelly artwork. It do not get's better, again another master tattoo made by Bob Tyrrell.
Tattoo of Jack above is also made by Bob Tyrrell.
Bob Tyrrell is the man left on the picture.....
Hey,
Looking for some advice, also some ideas.
Have a tattoo on my shoulder, well top of my arm. It's about 3" wide and 6" long. I am looking to get it covered up with something Muaythai related preferably - though will see what ideas folk have before i decide.
The tattoo has alot of colour, so the new one will have to be all black and quite large too.
So if anyone has any ideas on what i can do to get it covered it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
MTK
SUPER lol @ Olivers version of Miniluv "QUALITY" hahah
WOW Miniluv....... I knew you was a Fit piece ! but your Bottom is even better than i imagined !
oooops sorry was i thinking out Loud ! Sorry !
And LOL again re: above "quote" !
Let the pain begin:)
Tattoo by Robert Hernandez
Miniluv,
The Indian tattoo above is made by Kore Flatmo. Check out his homepage, it is truelly worths a visit:
http://gosharongo.com/plurabellahtml/main.html
Great tattoos Miniluv in your side !! I'm tattooed also on both sites on my side,i have a lot of tattoos,but these places that really hurt and for me it was about 23 years ago i was tattooed there !!And Oliver,i love the way you remember your friends,you're really a man to my heart,
Tcb........Dirk.
Dear Dirk... My old Dutch friend.
Thanks for the kind words! Talking real man, if one is... You are old buddy. You know how much I worth ship you, Bryan & Annemarie - so the respect goes right back to you my friend!
I agree with you Dirk, having a tattoo where Miniluv got her dragon and tiger hurts, it hurts big time!!! I am not a chicken, in a matter of fact I like getting tattooed, and I got my share of ink on the arms and on my back. But I most say, that getting a tattoo on the lower back and on the sites, where Miniluv got her art placed so beautifully, is no walk in the park, or an hour in Disney land. IT HURTS!!!
Getting a tattoo on the arm is nothing, if it wasn’t for the sound of the machine you could fall asleep, but I don’t think anyone is getting a nap getting a dragon or tiger on the site.
Please tell me it hurts Miniluv, otherwise I guess you are the girl in Terminator 3 kicking Arnold:)
Oliver - Wow, thanks for putting that link for Kore Flatmo, that is an amazing site! Especially love the Geisha design, I'm thinking about getting something to cover up the symbol I have on the base of my spine and that's given me an idea of what to get....
Oliver and Dirk - Yes, the dragon hurt quite a bit, which is a big understatement!
The tiger didn't actually bother me that much as it didn't go onto my ribs, but the dragon covers my hip, part of my pelvis at the top front and goes into my rib area... ow! I guess I will forget how much it hurt in time, but seeing as it's not even two weeks old yet the pain is still very fresh! .... plus it's itching like CRAZY!
Here is another great photo of Japanese Geisha. As good as it get.... Made by Tom Renshaw.
they can be addictive! ??
Guess whose avin some more done on my birthday next sat: 26th: July .............! ( and im 26 BTW :-p )And its 26 Years this year ive done Muay-Thai cool !
And i said i was only ever having ONE Tattoo ! :))))))))))))))))))))) LOL
Miniluv in year 2005:)
Oh my God, no!.... I'd never have that hairstyle ;-p
hahahaah LOL @ Miniluvs answer ! lol quality
Dont laugh Sandy, this is me in year 2005:)
Talking hairstye;-p
Yesterday.....
Yesterday..... 3 hours later, and still not finish.
wow Nice
and where is it ? on your back ?
and is it yours ? IE: or on someone else ?
Sandy,
It is mine tattoo, and it is on my back.
Sofie is the name of my daughter, and she is my angel!
Looking good Oliver, when is it due to be finished?
I'm going to make an appointment next month probably for my cover-up.... the time between tattoos is getting shorter and shorter for me!
I hope to have my tat2 finish in less than two weeks from today. (14/08-2003)
I still need to get some white colour in it, shadows and a black outline to make it perfect. So about an hour or two more in the chair, and it should be finish.
It looks very dark on the photo, but that is because the picture is taken only few minutes after the last needle has been boring in my skin. It will turn out to be lighter after a week or two.
Miniluv ;
What is your next project? Mine is mine left arm, I need to have my sleeve made finish. Once you started, it is a never-ending story:)
Oliver - Bet you're looking forward to it all being over! I'm going to have a geisha tattooed on the small of my back, much like the one that is on the Kore Flatmo site.
The Geisha on the Kore Flatmo site is also very beautiful!! Please post pictures of your tattoo when it is in progress... ok.
Good luck Miniluv.
My lower right arm, in Japanese style.
Funny tattoo made by Scoot Ford, USA.
(Yes, it is Steve Tyler from Aerosmith).
Damn you got the "200"TH:
well done !
Miniluv ;
Geisha tattoo inspiration?
Oliver, thanks! Like that design too, like the design of the robes....
Miniluv ;
Are you upcoming Geshia tattoo going to be custom made, or do you have a picture/flash/copy of a draft that you are going to use for the tattoo?
Just queries, because I love the art of tattoo when it is made first class.
Finish.... YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice!
Haven't got a design for my one yet Oliver, I'm going to speak to my tattooist and see what he comes up with from my idea. No drafts etc, just straight from his imagination.... should be interesting
Miniluv;
I will be more nice in about 4-6 weeks from now, when the colors has turned deep into the skin. Time will make the tattoo looks softer and lighter, and the skin area around the tattoo less red and irritated
As you might is able to see on the photo above, the blood is still showing in the 8-ball and in the letters, because the photo is taken few minutes after the last needle prick. Thanks Miniluv.
I am looking forward to see your Geisha tattoo, when you sooner or latter in the future gets your project started. Do your "local" tattoo studio has a web page? Good luck with the tattoo.
Yeah I can see the blood now you've pointed it out, but couldn't before. My tattoo studio's web site is:
http://www.into-you.co.uk
My tattooist is Jason Saga
Jason Saga seems to be a brilliant tattoo artist with colors. Most of his work in his gallery is beautiful Japanese new school style, in sharp and clean colors, perfectly mixed. Just like your dragon and tiger tattoos.
Another "Angel" tattoo.... Made by Sture from ColorBlind tattoo studio in Denmark.
A real Angel!
wow another AX blast from the past, and just reading Olivers post just a few up re: predictions for 2005? well did they happen? and where is Miniluv and Oliver etc: ?
