    Nope, I'm pretty sold on the shoulder blade.... no more indecision... I'm not sure how much I like chest tats.



    I think :o


    Heehee. I vote for shoulder blade. But it is your body and decision! :D

    Have fun! :D

    What you got?

    See that was my problem. I want to get one somewhere I can see it...but somewhere other people can't unless I show them. And once again...NOT what you were thinking.

    i never get this idea from people - why would you want a tattoo if you want to cover it up??

    See that's what I mean. I decided on mine. Thought about it for months. Then changed my mind. I think I want one on the top of my chest now though. I can see it but most other people can't.

    I had this thought as well... It'll be fine for people who like looking at my back (which happens from time to time), but maybe I want to be able to see it myself.

    Maybe I should go for off the shoulder towards the front/chest?

    ... if you are really that undecided, you should be waiting and thinking on this - once its on its there for life, and theres nothing worse than regreting.

    mine - location and design - were all decided months beforehand. All except my first, which i regret. so learn.

    I've wanted this tattoo for a year... so the thought's been put in, don't you worry mate.

    But the placement of it will cause me nightmares until I walk into the shop and say 'there'....

    YES, that might work :) even better than between the shoulderblades...
    i'm not happy yet.....

    That's ok then. Just didn't want you to do something you would regret. :)

    Been there a million times talking with friends and family, no worries ;) I've made sure I've chosen a design which will still be significant to me when I'm 80.

    hey - if you do go for between the blades - be prepared - im not adverse to pain, but my god that spot hurts more than anything ive ever been thru (including childbirth sans-drugs)

    so ... take a stick to bite on ;)

    Whatever happens I don't think I'll go for a central back tattoo.. It'll be further towards the left or right.

    I have one between the shoulder blades and it doesn't really hurt. If you have a good tattoo artist, tattooing is not really painful. (Oh.. and I've also been through childbirth without drugs... now THAT is pain!).

    If you're having the labyrinth HLF, I would see it quite biggish, top of the back/over shoulder blade, leftish (heart side!).

    TODAY'S THE DAY!!!! :D

    It's spirituality-related and loosely based on Pearl Jam. It's a Labyrinth, which has a double meaning because it's also a 'long road' :) Seems quite apt.

    Good luck! sounds like a nice idea.... want pics!!

    I should at least be having my next PJ tatt started soon, gonna take some serious work though.... a full colour Do The Evo vid half sleeve :cool:

    Also have both wrists and my chest planned out with PJ tatts :)

    Get a tattoo on your knob, saying THIS WAY UP. If ever I got a tattoo, that's what I'd have. :cool:

    THE DEED IS DONE..... It was fine, not painful... kind of like a sustained blood test.

    It's beautiful work; top of the back, left shoulder blade. I'll get it up here when it's healed. :D

    I need to go out and get some cling film and Preparation H.... It's the aftercare I'm worried about.... It would've been nice to have the wife to take care of the constant moisturise/clingflim/all that malarkey, let's see if I can reach it myself :D

    Na-ah... you want Tattoo Goo... that stuff's awesome and natural, avaliable in small lip balm like tins and tubes, if your tattooist's any good they'll stock it. Bout £5. :D
