If I get it, it will be my first- and probably last tattoo. I am Catholic, and would like something with lots of color that glorifies Mary. any advice? looking for thr right image.

Hey!
Noticed that you started with "if I get it"...Getting a tattoo is something you shouldn't doubt...you either want it or you don't, no matter for what reason...
Instead of just wanting to glorify Mary - as you say - be sure you want to enhance your body with an amazing tattoo...
To give you an idea, check-out "lovehatetattoos.com" and under "recent tattoos" you'll find a magnificent image of a Mary tattoo by Tim Hendricks. You mentioned you wanted something with lots of colour...trust you will find it colourful enough...
Take care!

I am definately getting a back tattoo although it probably won't be covering the shoulders i hope for a tribal design there. But I wish for some japanese devil masks (hannya 'the jealous girl') my dad was in the navy and travelled at least 5 times around the world has never had a tattoo but i'm not in the Navy and these tattoos i wish for are very reflective and representive and traditional (so hopefully unregretable) I have a New England patriots tattoo on my thigh and i do not regret that so I am really excited for this sitting with Scott. I am from the UK, (dirty dirty south baby!) and actually went to college with Scott. His dads a tattooist and hes been doing tats since a young blood, and I still intend to join the navy so why not. I have a mate too called Kai, who reminds me a lot of Yogi, but Kai looks more like a Hannya mask than Yogi. lol. I just let my mum into the news and shes taken it well for the time being.

Finally my question is... Anybody give experiences of looking after a full back tattoo. I know Scott can do it in 10 hours.

My sitting is June 08th 2009. My mums birthday! coincidence????
