Re: lai lai, lip lai, SIC Tattoos Thread
let me kickoff with mine
always wanted a tatt since Sec but it was only until late 20s then I decided to have one eventually. My parents were quite open minded about it. My dad allowed my bro & myself to have tatts BUT he specifically mentioned ' No Tiger or dragon' :lol:
It was my younger bro who went to had his done while I was still in NS & I didn't know that, only found out when I booked out on one of those Sat afternoon & saw my bro's tatt.
I thought 'Fug, he beat me to it!' LOL
I still remember i had a Nights Off & we went town with my platoon mates. Then suddenly I thought 'hey, why not do it now'
I called my bro & asked for his tatt artist contact. Met up with the tatt artist at Parklane & discussed the theme & size that I wanted. He told me he will sketch out the design & will call me when it's done while I go have dinner & jalan jalan. After an 1hr, he called me up, saying the sketch is ready.
Feeling excited, I rushed over to the shop & looked at the design.
Not bad. We did some minor changes to the drawings & it proceeded.
1st tattoo, naturally feeling pretty nervous. How will it feel when the needles poke my skin, will i jut abit from 1st contact point thus wrecking the linework etc etc...sibeh nervous.
1st contact point, moved a bit,hahaha but overall still ok.
How does it feel like when doing outline? It's like using a blunt razor & cut repeatedly at the same spot.
So, for that nite, I completed the outline & rushed back to camp,lol
Had to go for 3-4 more sessions for shadings.
This 1st tatt was done in 2001 :mrgreen:
Biomechanic design(skin tear revealing mechanical parts)
What i heard was right. You will never stop at just one :twisted:
