I think the artist did a great job considering I was a tiny bit jumpy at first- I found the outline really hurt :( But as soon as the colouring in was started it felt warm and even pleasant!
I'd been thinking about getting this done for a long time, not just as a tribute to the sisters...not really that at all...it was really supposed to be a reminder of a wonderful point in my life in which I've begun discovering alot of answers to my life questions (and all that meaningful stuff :innocent: lol)
Just thought I'd share it on here because I love it so much...the other arm is already looking abit plain though :innocent: I've heard the tattoo fever is very easy to catch...

You'll be wanting a word with the (currently on internetty hiatus but soon to return) Eastmidswhizzkid... :innocent: ;D

It looks really fab, I must say. Would love something similar in style myself... 8)

Great Work.

I have considering having either that version of the old version for years. Maybe I will one day!

yeah, I was unsure about whether to get a tattoo for ages then after seeing the new logo in the FALAA album cover I fell in love with it. I didn't have the circle round the edge though because then the star etc would look tiny. I've seen some tattooists do a really bad job of the original merciful release, probably because it looks so free hand-like anyway.

yeah that would be cool, how much did it cost?

In regards to having the old on on another arm to match I was thinking of that but I don't know if i'd get the guts up to do it again, I found I suffered quite abit for the outline and the old MR is mainly outlines :eek: It'd probably end up getting quite wobbily because of me flinching...well done for getting it done lol! But then my mum, bf and a mate say they find tattoos pleasant!
It's annoying really wanting another tattoo for the other arm but being a wimp and not liking the idea of the pain! :lol:

I see the Heartland tattoos thread become a sticky real soon :wink:

Congrats Daggs, I hope you'll be very happy together. :notworthy:

I went to a tattoo artist and asked the same (MR / Sisters new logo), well, the whole logo. He said that I'm too skinny - not enough room on my body for the whole artwork :lol: :lol: :lol: ... :| :( :cry: :lol:
(Anyway, I got the old logo then.)
