Art is art. Scrawlings and stencil work of people who are open in the early hours of the morning on the bodies of drunken 15 year olds, not so much.

I really dont get what youre driving at.

Its clear that your back tattoo was done by a skilled artist. Id imagine they dont engage in the same sorts of practices as the people who did mine. Thats all Im saying.

I'm sorry. I am intoxicated and not paying attention to usernames. Care to explain what went wrong? FYI, I have different art styles on me; it took me two years to find an artists and design for each piece.

Me and my girlfriend have each other's names on our wrists because we're both little bitches that couldn't stand to get anything more but we also decided... Fuck it, we feel like doing this. And then we figured even if we break up, we could make up funny stories about what the name means.

Granted, she won out. She got to get "Gina," I had to get "Hayley." I had to endure two extra letters, dammit.

You and her are bound to one another. You and her will never forget one another.

Yeah, you did yours properly.

Mine were all done when I was 15 and drunk, in the early hours of the morning.

Mine didnt hurt at all. I fell asleep in one of them.

I only got my upper arms done though, so that might be a factor.

I know a girl who takes a nap while getting tattood. So, it makes sense. Is it euphoric for you?

No, not euphoric. Just a bit of a non-event. Id imagine if I got some of the more painful areas done the experience would be different.

True. Spine, bicep, back of neck, ribs, tail bone and back were not fun.

Im honestly curious about this. Could you go into a little more detail about how tattoos are underpriced compared to their actual value?

I barely understand the fundamentals enough to get the subject, not to teach it, but from what I understand it's sort of an intersection between professional labor and rental spaces that plays fuckery with the pricing.

The other people in the topic who have been discussing tattoos in detail would be better choices to ask.

They're clearly talking about the value to, you know, the person actually getting the tattoo, so the subjective nature doesn't really come into play. The value of everything is subjective, not just art.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/e/ed10d7e4.jpgThis one is about 12 years old. First tattoo I ever got. Its in desperate need of a touch up. Sparrow. It means loyalty. Call it cliche, but I got it after my first girlfriend cheated on me in high school.
