*TATTOOS* Ok, letsee... If you just got a tattoo done and it's bleeding, don't be horrified... it's *normal* for it to bleed since it's a 'cut' down into three layers of your skin. i Do know that keeping a tattoo wet will delay the healing process, although some people think the opposite. Whatever you do, don't scratch or pick at it! you might get an infection and there's a chance you'll lose some color in certain parts. But the good things is that a tattoo generally heals fast. I know a couple of people who have gotten tattooed and i've seen two people get tattooed - it's a pretty cool process; makes me wish i could try it :P I've put the pic of Erik's tattoos at the bottom but i don't have a picture of his recent one, which is a tribal design on the soft side of his wrist/arm. As you can see i also have a picture of PX's tattoo... yet i never took a picture of his other one, an awsome robot leg. I've thought about having a tattoo... but not more than that... i had ideas for both my ankles but it never got anywhere.

Tattoos are a form of artistic expression. Some people get tattooed to be different, to show what kind of person they are through drawings and words, and others tattoo past experiences or memories and interests. <- (cancer survivor)

Although tattoos are more accepted than in the past, they still aren't as mainstream and accepted as some people think. Tattoos can affect your chance of getting employed at certain places and can be prejuged.

If you are thinking of getting a tattoo, consider these things: It'll be on you your whole life, so choose your art wisely. Make sure you get tattooed by a professional... there are many amateurs out there..... so be sure to look at the photos of tattooed people the tattooist has tattooed recently, and it's good to know the person too for better understanding of concepts.

Sure it's going to be painful, but don't rely on someone's personal experience, for everyone is different and will react to the act differently. Alot of people say it's painful but not as much as they thought. But that's them.

^- These are Erik's tattoos. The wolf is his newest one. The tribal tattoo was done a week before the wolf.

<- Here is PX's cool biohazard sign on fire. unfortunately the artist decided to "try something "cool" by adding blue but it wasn't what PX wanted. i find it still came out well.
