okay this is such a retarded story, but my friends will never let me live it down! so yeah, i was living in ottawa and after a year or so of thinking about getting my chest tattooed, i finally decided to bite the bullet and do it! i had my good friend, who btw is an amazing artist, draw something up for me. he was so excited about doing my tattoo, because for years he went on about how 'amazing a chest piece would look on you because you're so white' blah blah blah.

okay so my first session went alright. i was laying on a massage table for about 2 hours, when i decided i could take no more and told him to stop. yeah well i sat up too quickly and thought i was going to die! i started to walk out the front of the shop to get some air and to have a smoke, but on my way out past all the guys, i started to go white as a ghost and almost fainted a few times. my friend who also happened to work at the shop, grabbed my one arm along with my artist and helped me outside. they both then ran to get me coke and m&m's! hahaha. too sweet. not to mention i scored a ride home from my artist! hello! how many people can say their artist drove them to their front door!

so afew months after that i was back in the shop getting my chest worked on. i was wearing a white tank top and had to take my bra off so i could get worked on. i told my girlfriends to tell me if my nipples were exposed, but yeah they didn't! i was getting tattooed in the front of the shop and became the obession of all the guys and customers in the shop! how embarrassing is that?!?

Hello wakingtowinter,
I couldn't help but laugh out loud! Loved the story. Can I ask where in Ottawa you had your tattoo done? I myself go to "In living colour" on Dalhousie street in Ottawa. By the way are you going back to to get some more ink done? I think that would take more gutz than getting another tattoo.

funny story , especially cause i thought you were a guy (a guy wearing a bra?!) but then ofcourse i relized you werent. you have any pics of the chest piece?

I just hate when that happens!


Still a dirty old man.

yes kids, it's time i admit that i am a man who wears a bra...

hahaha.

my chest was done by jimmi @ planet ink in ottawa. my 3/4 sleeve was started by ian rose @ universal in ottawa, but is currently being finished by lila way at enlightened ink in oakville. check out lila's site @:

lila and corey have some truly amazing work!

pops-dirty old men are the best!

We want pics! (great story, gotta see what the piece was)

Suggestion: I always use white tape to cover
my nipples when I get my chest tattoo.
I just hate all the girls hanging around gaking at me.

My sweet wife is so jealous so we just do not need the drama in the shop.

Still fat, bald, and older!

Pops, I'd be gawking more at the tattoo than the nipples, if that makes you feel any better.

small world...part of my left arm was done by Lila. Met her while she and Corey were still at Way Cool (still my shop of choice) I stayed with Bert when they went on their way.
I love Corey's punch style tattoos

when i was getting my shoulder done, i had to take off my shirt. at my tattoo artist shop, all the artists have thier own little room, but they dont have curtains. so, for about 3 hrs, i was sitting on a stool with my shirt/bra off. all the guys that came walking in, had to walk by and check me out. i wasnt embarrassed or anything.

I'm just not that way. Ha,
Besides I can't take numbers while my sweet dear wife is standing by..

Y'all trying to get me into trouble again?

Well I put on a good show for the whole shop this past Saturday. The only thing I did not take off was my pants.
Maybe next week...

Later

still fat, bald, old man!

I had the second session of my back piece done at a convention. I had my sweater on backwards but I was still paranoid about showing too much.

I had the same passing out deal, too. I started seeing stars and went deaf. I told my artist he had to stop or I was going to end up on the floor. He ran out and got me a coke, too. It fixed the problem asap. I don't drink regular soda and I don't tend to eat sugary things. It's nice when your body goes into shock haha
