How about the revolver cover? That would be an awesome tattoo, might cost a bit though! lol

I just got this tattoo yesterday, would love to hear what everyone thinks!

Ha ha thats awesome!!! Is it real??

yes it's real! took 3 hours and it hurt like a mother!

"Its real love" That has to be the best tattoo ever!!

yes, am very happy with the result. now I can use it as a friend test- "do you know who these people are?" "No? ok you can't be my friend"

Wow that is really cute!

That's a fab tattoo, so well done!!

Health Risks Warning On Body Art Dyes

A gruesome list of illnesses and health problems contracted by people who have had tattoos or piercings which went wrong was released by the European commission yesterday in an effort to raise awareness about the dangers of body art.

Up to half of all body piercings lead to acute infections which require medical treatment, and there have been two piercing-related deaths in Europe this year, the commission said.

It added that precious little was known about the chemical structure and toxicity of many of the dyes used in tattooing and warned that many people were effectively injecting car paint into their skins.

"Except for a limited number of dyes that have been approved for use in cosmetics most chemicals used in tattoos are industrial pigments originally produced for other purposes such as automobile paints or writing inks," it said in a statement. "[They] have little or no safety data to support their use in tattoos. Would you inject car paint into your skin?"

When health standards are disregarded -and it said they often were - people anxious to decorate and personalise their body with dye or metal had paid dearly for bad practices. "These practices can bring about viral infections such as hepatitis, HIV, bacterial and fungal infections, allergic reactions such as skin irritation, and malignant lesions such as melanoma, leprosy and other devastating diseases."

Other problems associated with body art were toxic shock syndrome, tetanus, venereal ulcers, tuberculosis and a host of skin diseases, it added.

"If people want to tattoo or pierce their bodies we would like them to do so with proper health and safety guarantees," said Philippe Busquin, the EU commissioner responsible for the research.

He said existing regulations were limited to hygiene conditions in tattoo and piercing parlours themselves but that, he argued, was not enough.

"[They] are mostly limited to prescribing hygiene practices such as the use of gloves and the sterilisation of needles. (But) they do not tackle the issue of sterility of materials, dyes and colours, their purity or the need for a proper toxicological and risk evaluation."

Haha! Paul might like it. You know you'd HAVE to show it to him!

JBleak, I love your tattoo.

Paulrus has passed along some important information.

On a serious note, I have a co-worker who has tattoos and a pierced tongue. My dentist said that pierced tongues are prone to infection and that the metal ball in one's mouth scrapes against your teeth and erodes the enamel. I had also read that. My co-worker has terrible teeth. She's had a few pulled and the remaining teeth look really bad. She has gum infections and I have really encouraged her to see a dentist. She did go to a nearby dental clinic and the people there told her that her enamel has been scraped away on her top teeth. It is sad, but it doesn't surprise me.

I think he would faint when i start to open my shirt.."I have nice picture of you in here..."
Umm..Maybe few words from their song or something like that would be nice..
