I wish I had got the itch now instead of when I just turned 18 and could legally get my first bargain basement efforts with the limited cash I had...oh well,

not as bad as some though, I knew one bloke who had a topless beauty (with a suggestive graceful arching back) done on his arm, everything looked good apart from the tattooist put the pelvic lines in upside down...so he got a topless beauty that looked 9 months pregnant, and another guy had a questionable looking eagle done on his neck with a dodgy looking beak...needless to say his nickname from then on was 'budgie'.

Definitely something that needs to be considered and not rushed into.
Cool looking tats by the way,

Ruddy.
