Personally I love tats, so if you want to get one just go for it. You don't have to have big muscles to look good with ink I think you look pretty good as you are  |

"Thinking of getting some ink done....whats the ladies thoughts as im a bit on the slim side yey or neh?
Maybe put on some muscle first?
"
I wouldn't rely on the opinion of others when it comes to something as permanent as a tattoo...after all it will be with you for life  |

Tattoo's have become far more socially acceptable nowadays.
But the only thing I'd ever ask advice on, was who is a great artist!
I wouldn't ask should I get one or what should I get. |

"Placement is always key to how sexy it will look. Ie sleeves, chest pieces and back pieces "
I'm confused, the placement for all you have mentioned can't go anywhere else  |

Have what you like, where you like. It's you who will be wearing it for the rest of your life. It's worth considering the location if you are planning to bulk up, purely so you don't distort the picture.x |

Thanks! Just to be clear its just if you think tats suit slimmer guys? They look great on bigger lads, im thinking of something a bit different.....but some great points here like the artist! Of course this is something i should really look into as it is just as important so thanks! |

Doesn't matter whether you are slim or have muscles, it's about how good the art work is. A good artist will help you with designs and placement. But be sure that a tattoo is for you and not just a phase your going through. X  |

"Anyone regret theres?"
I had some tribal done when I was 17 before it ever came mainstream.
I only regret how popular it became but not mine, which goes from ankle to hip. |

Slimmer guys just look great in general. You'd look hot with ink or without. You'd suit it pet just make sure it's something you love, that means something to you and you won't regret it.  |

Depends on what you want and where you want it really.

I think you should do what you want and not what some randoms on a forum say. Ink is permanent. It should be be totally your decision. |

The opinions of others matter not my friend. Take me for example. I'm a very slim fellow with two sleeves, a chest piece and more. At risk of sounding egotistical, I've found my artwork has got me into quite a few beds.
If a lady doesn't like your body she wont like it after tattoos either. Think long and hard before getting any work done and enjoy it! I LOVE all of my tattoos. |

42 hours for a half sleeve isn't normal I'm afraid. I think you're being taken for a ride there. I hope I'm wrong! |

Gradual is better, I had six, six hour sittings. After 4.5 hours I was crawling up the wall. Body started to go into shock at that point. Not doing that for my next sleeve |

6 hours is to long, longest i had was about 6 hours and that was my back, i had it in one go, i'd never do it again, two hours is plenty enough 
both my arms were dont in two hour sittings |

I'm a massive fan of great ink on men...as long as it's not tribal! Looks so dated in my opinion. Do love a sleeve and I have one myself. Loving sailor jerry style but that will probably be the new tribal in years to come. |

I'd be really interested to see it if you've done 42 hours and not even got a half sleeve yet.

My sleeve is made up of scenes or characters from my favourite movies. So I currently have 12 pieces from various movies, with around 4 more to go, then the background will be filled in to make it a full sleeve.
So yes, mine is different to most, no I'm not been taken for a ride, and it definitely isn't tribal. |

I think you'd look pretty great with as you do without...I don't think it matters if you are ripped or not...plus...get it because it is your thing...not for anyone else...I love mine n have been getting them done for approaching 26 years...and am sure I will still be getting em in another 26...just get something personal to you...too many of the same tattoos about now it is fashionable...is doing my head in |

If it's a good tattoo then your stature shouldn't really have much bearing on whether you'd look good or not, the Quality of tattoos has vastly improved in the last few years, I waited 10 years before I had my sleeve, because they just didn't do outline free tattoos then, and it took at least six months to find the tattooist skilled enough to do it freehand.
The most important thing is to find a good artist, discuss the design you want and make sure he is talented enough to do that, otherwise you'll just end up with a crappy one you will probably want to cover over in a few years, I have several I want fixing..
I love tattooed men though so I'm biased. |

If you really want ink, go for it Geezer. Having muscle or not doesn't have anything to do with the choice. Just make sure it is what you want though ('cause you can't rub off a skin sticker mate!) |

I have not regretted mine but they are all personal to me. Love tattoos and u have a great body so u will look great. Spend time getting a good tattoo artist that has been recommended. If they are any good there will be a 2/3 month wait to get booked and enjoy |

All my tats mean something to me, so I don't regret any of them, but it's not something I just jumped into.
Getting them is a personal choice so it's entirely your decision, but I agree with the comments about going somewhere that does good artwork, has a good reputation etc

I've had over 50 hours on my entire body... I sit for 8 hours at a time and toward the 6 hour mark my skin usually begins to reject too. How could she possibly have 12 individual characters taking 46 hours and not even have a half sleeve?
I could install a fucking heating system from scratch in less than that .
I have a VERY detailed colourful, no gap sleeve which took around 25 hours max.
Personally I think time is an important indicator of skill. I hope I haven't offended anyone but 46 hours for half a sleeve is not quick enough for me. |

She is called RedAngel. She will answer any questions. But not when you speak in such a derogatory manner.
My tattoo artist is very skilled. My pieces are very detailed. Not random cartoon characters.
One of my pieces was completed at the York Tattoo Convention and won an award.
My body. My artwork. Get over it.

If you're thinking about it then you're in two minds about it.
Only have it done for you, pick a good artist even if you have to wait for 6 months & only if it's a definite.
Too many people have the usual fashion statement then regret it as its not 'in' anymore!!!
Good Luck & Happy inking, Dolly |

This, if you're getting a tattoo you shouldn't be doing it to be appreciated by others. |

I'd have a good think about it were I you, OP.
I think if you get tattoos purely to look good to others, you may well end up regretting them.
Tattoos end up saying something about the person who chooses to get them, whether they intend it or not. |

I don't think the OP is looking to get inked to impress anyone. It sounds more like he just wanted advice about whether he should bulk up before getting one.
A good artist will be able to design a tattoo that works with the contours and angles of your body shape. |

I think the very fact that he is asking about his physique before getting tatts suggests that he is getting them to achieve a particular "look".... Tattoos will be there as long as you live...
That said, I did realise just after having my chest done that I could never get too fat because my chest tatt would look awful on moobs.... |

Just booked my second sleeve today.
The tattooist I use will only do a full day sitting on it to start off, asked how many hours that will be......until it's finished was the answer I got
Only sat for 4.5 hours max before, Gotta admit I'm nervous about this one |

Love tattoos! Hubby is having his sleeve started soon and I'm having my hip/thigh piece done. Booked in ages ago and still waiting until September as the guy doing them is awesome so pretty booked up. Only get something you will be happy with. Little nervous for a 5 hour sitting mind you! |

As people have said take your time finding the right artist. When your getting a tattoo you really do get what you pay for.
A rule of thumb, is the longer the waiting list the better the tattooist.
If you can walk-in and get done the same day, walk away.
I got Chest, larger back piece (4 x 7hr sessions), both shoulders. Will be getting more done. |

Excellent advice
My first tattoo at 18 was a walk in for £60.....and I'm planning on having it re done.
The artist who's done my sleeve and is who will be doing the second one is £100 per hour....the difference is the work is blinding obvious. |
