| ESSENTIAL
INFO |
|
|
A
tattoo is created by injecting ink into the cells of your
skin's dermal layer, which is about one millimetre deep. The
ink is injected with the vibrating needle of an electric hand-held
tool. Some people find tattoos painful, some describe it as
an uncomfortable or weird sensation.
In
the UK, you have to be over 18 to get a tattoo. Even with
parental permission, most tattoo artists will refuse you if
you're younger than 18.

"Alphonse
Mucha inspired tattoo, 8 hours, very painful and very expensive"
says Andrea

think people should be able to do what they want with their
own bodis, once they are adults. I can't say that I would ever
want to look like Isobel, but I admire her self confidence to
go on and do what she wants to do. Good luck to her. I have
2 tatts, one on my shoulder (rose) - 8 yrs down the line now,
and one done yesterday on the small of my back, which is soooo
beautiful. I think people should judge others on their BEHAVIOUR
and not APPEARANCE. |
