"Tatoo"

I am seriously considering getting a tatoo done soon. I have some free cash and a summer ahead of me so I am more than likely to get one. I know it is illegal as I am under 18, blah blah blah, but I can get one done in the 'rough' area of Leeds.

Basically I want a dragon on my shoulder but havent seen a specific design I like. Do any of you know a website that shows generic tatoos that I can browse, I would appreaciate a link very much.

Also anyone who knows a bit about tatoos can you give me a rough price estimate if I have it done (Just black ink, not colour).

Cheers guys

- You have to be any age?
- Where can I get one done?

Well the rough area of Leeds is the only place I can get it done underage, everywhere else is above bored and checks ID. It isn't as much fun having a legal tattoo is it?

Admit it, when you drink alcohol under age or have sex under age it seems more exciting and stuff. Once it becomes legal it loses some of the appeal.

Henna lasts a few months, it's a good idea as it will let you know if you like it before you make it permanent.

Advice: Don't get a tattoo done in 'a rough area of Leeds' while you're underage. I think this sentence speaks for itself. Wait until you're old enough and make the decision then, and get it done properly.

I want one. But have never got round to it. Spider's web tattoo facial for me.

It's not that big, it would have been £150-£200 for the Beckham size back tat.

Are they those ones that last a couple of years?

It is something I want, basically, if I dont like it then it is my problem! I don't want an image or a reputation so I am not doing it to 'look hard' as it were.

Get a henna tattoo, they can last a while but arent permenant. Come in some nice designs aswell.

£60 for a big personalised design seems quite reasonable, especially at a non-dodgy place. I know the place is clean though as some people from my school have been there before and had tattoos done and they look great. I recon it should be about £20-£30 for me. I still want to look at online tattoo templates though

I personally don’t like them; waste of money and it’s permanent. Just go buy some turtle mags or something; you get free transfers with them.
