I'd love to, but the site is blocked on the computers onboard.

Damn! I was going to offer you the use of mine.

Flickr?

I want to see this artwork

Nope, wants me to use Yahoo! and the login crap for yahoo is blocked too I'm at a loss at the moment, everything that I can connect to times out because I can't keep a constant connection to upload. Everything else is just blocked.

what about the "host an image" button we have here?

Nope that too times out I'll keep trying in the mean time to find something that works.

Dont tell my boss but I'm sneaking on here at work just so that you can all have a look at and WOW at some of Loki's fab tattoos

There's more detail than you can see in the Jack and Sally tattoo, it's just a crap photo. There's the thatch design and the colored spirals in her dress as well, and Jack is actually slightly coloured in white, but you can't tell on my skin.

Very Very Nice!!

I think they're great and I am hoping that I will have some more of Loki's tatts to upload soon.

Hello gorgeous tattoos!
I love the Jack & Sally one.
Very nice location for it as well.
Do you have your belly button & nipple pierced as well?
I couldn't really tell in the photos, but it looks like it.

I should start 'watching' topics.

Yes, Wrapped, I do, I have both nipples pierced, and the top and bottom of my navel pierced. I tend to lose the bottom ball on the bottom navel ring though, so it might look a bit confusing.

I had more 'piercings' in my chest, but I had to take them out due to rejection, then I had microdermal implants, that I had to cut out for a lung exam.

If you count the 'retired' piercings as well as current I've got over 60.

That's awesome! I can understand about the rejections. I have my sternum done, but am thinking I am going to have to take it out soon b/c it's still red & kind of achy, even after the few months that I've had it.
Depressing...I really don't want to have to take it out, but it's not healthy to leave it in

The micro-dermal I had in my sternum stayed just fine, but I took chances and placed the others in old scar tissue paths, so they weren't about to stay in. I'm about to just give in and start working with bio-compatible plastics and see how well my body takes to those, since they move with the body rather than staying so adamantly put when the rest of the muscles in the body want to move around it.

Bio-compatible plastics for piercings?
Wow, never heard of it, but can imagine it would be one of the best things for a piercings since it can also be used for other biological purposes & would a more natural alternative.

Things like 'tygon' which can come in spools of different gauges and are hollow, so you can feed the tube through as you would the normal jewelery, and then cut to exact lengths as desired, and then use an externally threaded piece of jewelery and screw it into the tube. It's flexible and won't reject as a foreign object because of it's compatibility with the body.

I am thinking I am going to have to get me some of that because I really do not want to take out my beloved piercing. That was pain well-endured & I want it to stay there for as long as possible

Well good luck, the pain isn't that bad, it's just a slow process, about 20 seconds and it's over. Just a grin and bear it, the nice thing about tygon, is that since it's so soft and flexible, is that you can't feel the threading at the end of it; unlike a normal bar where you can feel it the entire way. So it does alleviate some of the pain issue.

Since someone mentioned it, I figured I'd post it.
This is what I plan on getting over Christmas.


I was thinking of having it go on the upper part of my arm and have more cherry blossoms added to it.
Eventually I want that part of my arm all filled in. It will be one step closer to getting the sleeve I want.
Unless I put that on my forearm I'm not sure.

I want it all Asian.
Except for the guitar I have on that arm
But there will be koi fish, geisha's, cherry blossoms....whatever else the tattoo artist feels like doing.

Moon that design is so pretty! It would look great on a whole Asian themed sleeve

I've just decided that I'm going to get a pentagram on the back of my neck during the holidays. Sudden decision but now I really have to have it
