Andy Warhol was an artist; tat's fall into the same category and looks like ink has been thrown over the body ... just like any idiot can do but, unfortunately, not be cosidered and artist.

"the pygmies in africa are the only savages in the world with inkings that look a lot more civilized tthan yore ugly ass tattoos, get a life and get a doctor to cut those ugly things off. What would the preacher say, what will the boss say, would any boss actually hire you for a job? I don't think so lol."

I'm probably gonna get tattoos when I'm older...and I'm a devout Christian, always have been, always will be...I don't get Christians who think that tattoos are evil...it's people like that that sadly make us not that liked :S.
I also have to say I don't like the comments insulting my religion and my god either, I know it was a response to some fool who doesn't know any better...but still.
And finally can anyone recommend any really nice looking non-offensive tattoo designs I could get?

Can't go wrong with a cross tattoo, my pastor have seen all my religious tattoos and never said anything

Ye I been thinkin about crosses...But I saw a tattoo I absolutely loved, which was square letters (hard to explain) Kinda in rings round his arm, looked awesome. Went down to just before his elbow i think. It MIGHT be the lead singer of Pantera who has them...not sure. Anyway I could get that saying something...then a cross on the other shoulder...should be ace :D

i agree that traditional method is better for colours. but if the man who is making tattoo is good at his work he can draw right lines. i mean its the matter of experience.

the artist would be excellent at lines. its just that with a gun its easier to get good lines. with the horimono style its harder. i would love to get this style done but its sooo slow! i know a guy who got a flower 2inch squared in size and it took 3 hours!
