I've always wanted the top of the shankly gates on my hip but everyone tells me they wouldn't be able to do it small, it'd have to be huge across my back of something.

Anyone know if this is true?

thats probably about right mate, it would distort the image to have it that small, i reckon a big shanks gate across your back would look class though, might be a few bob though best asking around for prices.
dont be caught backing out of a bet now monty

[۩ Imperator ۩]

Haha! I told my mum that I was getting a tattoo the other day (I wasn't really, but I know how much she hates them, so I told her to wind her up). I've just sent her this picture by email for a laugh, pretending it's me!

[LFC on tour]

haha okay, im not taking responsibility if your mum slipper ya one though 

[۩ Imperator ۩]

I don't think she'd go that far, mate. I am 27, after all.

[LFC on tour]

never to old for a belting lad, long as it puts ya in your place

[Lacoste-Trackie]

i've already decided me next tattoo....top of the shankly gates all across the bottom of me back (in a few years like)

to tha person who was on about it on their hip don't know how small you want it but there are some dead fine needles that will be able to do some fine detail like on the outline of the tattoo

[LFC on tour]

well ive decided that im getting You'll Never Walk Alone across the bottom of my back in roman numeral font.
hopefully it'll look very good.. not gona get it for a few months though!

[WOOLTONIAN]

You would think when you get to my age you would stop getting tattoo's, but I must be honest, I actually like designing tattoo's.
Just wish I hadn't bothered with all the small crappy ones I have up my arms.

To the poster about having one on the back. Surprisingly it doesn't hurt as much as other areas.
ie. Inside your arms or on the chest.

I'm currently playing with a new design, but dont know whether I'll ever get it done. Would fill my back.

Gothic style Liverbird (Modern) flying upward

Flames Flames Flames

ISTANBUL 2005

to signify the Phoenix rising from the flames.
suggesting "A new beginning" for the club

but as I said designing and getting it done are two different things

[elmer dinkley]

without wishing to sound like yer father
wait !
Most people actually regret getting tattoo's in the long run.
When you do decide to get one, choose your design very carefully
who you love now may not be in your life always.
Save for a big design rather than buy cheap little shitty ones.

Take a long hard look at others designs and ask where they got them.
there are some real dodgy geezers pretending to be tattooists nowadays.

I have my arms, legs and back done.
But while wearing a shirt you wouldn't know.
If you get one make sure it's coverable by clothing for times you dont want tattoo's seen.

Anyone who tells you tattoo's dont hurt is a wind up merchant.
Go along and have a look at some of the faces on people getting them done.
They might put on a brave face, but watch them sweat and twitch

Wish I'd had that advice at 16, it would've saved me the grand plus I spent getting mine taken off.
Someone mentioned the tattooist in Birkenhead, if he's still around I'd suggest you look him up. He did one for me that had hardly faded 15 years on. I got 2 done in New Brighton that came off with only a few laser treatments, but that f*cking Brokenheader cost me about 800 quid!
If you're gonna get one done, get it done properly, but don't do anything when you're a teenager that you'll be stuck with for the rest of your life. And no birds names ffs!

[The Albert Cock]

no birds names ffs!

got a relative who must be around 70 who has the name of her first fella on her leg, shes not bothereed by it like but  you can imagine it driving some people mad!

I had a liverbird done on my face a few years back, at a party (kiddies face paint) looked boss mate.  It was the day I met jonny vegas, he seemed to like it to but I still aint got a proper one.

deffo wanting a small one for our great euro cup achievement, not that i will ever forget it like!

[WOOLTONIAN]

My arl fellah while serving in the forces, used to get a tattoo done wherever he was posted.
Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaya etc

I thought it was a great idea as it told a story of his life.

Then he showed me the knife he had down one of his legs,
I was lost ? he said when he wore shorts it looked like he had a knife down his sock
(giggling like a schoolboy) he asked what d'ya think

I said I think you must have smoked too much weed.

He told me a story one night about his army days, when we were out on the real ale.
The story.... The Vicar, The showgirl and the Crout
will have to stay a pub tale tho

[Cleary]

I have 2
 Got my new one on sunday, hurt a bit at the wrist as the needle was chipping at my wrist bone
 but worth it!

[Cleary]

cheers mate, had the done pre season last year, getting the flame down my arm soon

[LFC on tour]

just been thinking about it, do you think "youll never walk alone" down the front of my right arm would
a) look good
b) be painful??

Which was the most painful, Karl?

[Djimi]

looks good

[LFC on tour]

think ill stick with it along the bottom of my back then

[WOOLTONIAN]

Which was the most painful, Karl?

always found the inside of the forearm the most sensitive area.

Thought my upper back was least painful.

But they all hurt. People just dont like admitting it.

For the novice who has yet to get a tattoo.
Think of this, there is a needle going in and out of your arm at the speed of a sewing machine, but instead of thread it deposits ink.
Would you put your finger in a running sewing machine ?

I have one on my right arm- and yes, it hurt like hell. The analogy with a sewing machine is spot on- and because there are so  many colous in mine, I just got used to the pain in one area before he went back and added another shade to a previous area. I asked about the pain because the lad who did mine was Welsh Champion or something, so had a reputation to uphold- and for the first one he refuses to do the chest. he reckons many pass out or walk away with it still half-done: he says there are more people walking around with semi-completed tatoos under their shirts than anyone would ever guess 

[elmer dinkley]

Got one on the inside of the forearm, hurt twice as much as any of the others. I've heard the inner thigh is a killer as well.

[TSLiverfan]

I got mine done last week - have been thinking about it for about 3 years so didn't rush into it . I got it on my lower back so hopefully it won't sag too much with age ...also it's not on show that much.
The outline hurt quite a lot and the guy had to stop and give me a few minutes to recover - I went all dizzy . After the outline was done it was fine - the colouring in was no problem .
Cost me £30 and took about 30 minutes. I took the design in to make sure I got a Liverbird and not a Goose or something !

[The Bill Hicks Appreciation Society]

spot on that TS

[TSLiverfan]

Thanks - It's healing up nicely now ....one thing nobody has mentioned is the aftercare of your tattoo . It needs washing 4 times a day and a cream ( Lasonil or Preparation H ) putting on regularly - this is to prevent infection and ensures you have a nice even tattoo after. You need to do this for 10 to 15 days after the tattoo - something to bear in mind if you are thinking about going on holiday soon too is that you can't sunbathe or go swimming while it is healing.

[LFC on tour]

i had to put bepathane on mine.. something spelt like that anyway lol. its some kind of nappy rash creame? it stops it scabbing over i think
well the tattoo looks nice TS, was thinking about getting my tattoo all black but decided i wanted it would look nicer red, mines on my shoulder and thats not a very saggy place i hope lol.
i was planning on getting YNWA onthe underside of my right forearm but im against the idea now that everyone has said how much it hurts, going to get it on the bottom of my back.

[Col]

this ere tattoo malarky seems very fashionable at the moment...

[GlentoranMark]

Colin Murray got 5 stars up his forearm.

Got the link of it here somewhere!

[LFC on tour]

was planning on getting 5 stars under my liverbird as i forgot to ask the fella to do ti last time but the skin is still sensitive

[Murphy23]

Got my 5 stars today, inside of forearm.  Hurts like a bitch.  Not big, so didn't last long!

[Djimi]

[LiamG]

Some of those tatoo's are well nice, Not sure if id get stars cuz i still got a long to go in my lifetime and i dont want stars all the way up my arm lol, Liverbird on my arm or shoulder will do me, dont think i could take the pain of it on my chest
