Advantages: Beautiful photography, loads of tattoos Disadvantages: The text at the beginning is boring.
I became obsessed with tattoos at a very young age; I would look for tattoos on people and often ask them what their tattoos meant and why they got them. Predictably at about 14 years old I started to want a tattoo. I pestered my Mum for two years solid and when I was 16 she thought she'd call my bluff. She marched me into a tattooist and told me to pick a tattoo and get it done there and then. She thought I would wimp out but I didn't and I still love the tattoo I got that day.

This method of boiling the kettles creates hot spots and leads to a caramelization that intensifies the malty flavours - Scottish beers almost always accentuate towards ...
Advantages: Can Look Good, Self Expression Disadvantages: Potential Cost, Pain, Some People Take Offence, Pain, Pain!
I have been to the tattooist yesterday and managed to get an old tattoo covered up with a new and improved one! Here is my advice on getting a tattoo.
***History***
Tattoos are one of the oldest forms of self-expression known to man. Many are used in tribal ceremonies and in the last century were also used as a means of identification (in WW2 by an evil man). Nowadays, many people get a tattoo as a form of self-expression. It may be patriotic, it may be a favourite cartoon character, it may be artistic or it may be an expression of love for another person. It is certainly a matter of personal choice.
***My history***
Suffice to say, when I was 18 years old, I went and got myself two tattoos. One on my back and one on the top of my left arm. Last year I got a shield with the scottish flag and some scrollwork done on my lower ...
