I like the pain of the needle.

The way the needle pierces my skin, the ripping, the blood, the swelling afterwards.

I would get one daily if I could, but I don't ... Because I would run out of skin in a month.

I need help.

Do they have a hotline for this? 1-800-INK-HELP.

Fuck.

Cover it up with a stronger, more powerful addiction. Like meth. You'll forget all about tattoos in no time.

Find a nice hobby.

Maybe try buying CDs from eBay.

Is bidding on ebay a painful experience?

Why don't you try straight up self harm?
Cheaper than tattoos and more to the point.

Are you suggesting I re enact a scene from Fight Club?

Yes ...because scars are so much more attractive than tattoos.

Chicks dig scars, therefore become addicted to vag.

i have the same issue, although i don't like the pain... i like the result after (the pretty new art on my body). money is the strong factor in how i curb getting one all the time. that and my tattoo artist lives 3 hours away. that keeps me from running down the street to get a hook up from a friend.

i actually am getting tattooed this month so it's funny that you brought this up.

yeah, when you figure out how to curb the ink addiction let me know.
I am running out of room for acceptable places to put my tattoos ( have them around my mid section because I want to be able to easily keep them covered for work, so i don't wan them on my arms or legs) so that' should help right?
heh. I have some stuff I want to cover and add on to though....

I too enjoy the pain and the healing process.:cool:

I have dated 2/4 tattoo artists that have done work on me.

Either tattoo artists are players or I have nice skin.

yeah...I been thinking dating an artist would be a good way to get some nice ink inexpensively.

uh...that would make me a tattoo whore wouldn't it?:(

I didn't take advantage of the benefits either time.

The first guy was a hottie from Canada who was working in Hollywood for a 6 months stint ... We were together the whole 6 months, and broke up because he wanted to go back ... Didn't like the shallowness of the LA crowd ... I was heartbroken. He was my tattoo devigirnizer.

The second guy was last summer, we hung out for a few weeks ... Until I went through one of his photo books that had pictures of his tat work ...and there was a picture of a chick with her legs spread open and her whole vaginal area was a sunflower tat ... It was huge ... Her vagina was the center of the flower.

told him later that day ... It wasn't going to work out. Broke it off.

I still can't get that image out of my head.

Fuck.

yo should have colored over that photo with a permanent marker
Dharma

Right ... Because tagging up the photo with a sharpie would have made it all better.

Only go to a tattoist who has parkinsons disease.

You could just make a dumb thread every time you think about getting a tattoo. Oh wait you already seem to be....:D
Dharma
