LOVE the women with body suits. Of course, I'd like the body to go with it :tears:
Mod Edit:
I removed the link since the pictures were a bit revealing Kathy. I like em though I would want those bodies too
Feel free to pm kathy for the link, or me, I bookmarked it

Oh!! Sorry, didn't think of that. There's drawings of women with body suits, no lower anatomy but the top is showing. Two of those posters are at No Ka Oi (sp??) in Philly, where I got my dragon done. I stared at them for hours at a time.

The three most important words in getting a tattoo:
RESEARCH YOUR ARTIST.
RESEARCH YOUR ARTIST.

In my youth, I ended up drunk and in a couple of tatoo parlors in various "less-than-desirable" places, some in the Philippines, some in Vietnam, others right here in the USA...I NEVER could find anything that I felt was something I wanted permanently inked on my body, not even the EG&A. Of course, it didn't hurt that in the back of my mind was a standing order in my platoon...ANY ONE OF YOU "FINE, OUTSTANDING MARINES" (I'm sure your imaginations can substitute the actual words he used) COMES BACK WITH A TATTOO, YOU GET AN IMMEDIATE TRANSFER! GOT IT?
Sir! Yes Sir!
No one wanted that transfer, and in almost 2 years, no one EVER came back from leave with a tattoo of any kind that I ever heard about.
Since then, I've been in a couple of tattoo shops, looked very hard at the selections, even had my own artwork a couple of times, but the permanence of a tattoo (don't forget, it's also considered an "identifying mark"...) has kept me from ever inking up.

I got my first tat when I was 18 and thought I was old enough to do anything I wanted. I came home from college that summer and my mom noticed it through the sleeve of a white t shirt I was wearing. My little 4'10" mom smacked me across the face like I was a little 8 year old brat and put me in my place.
She was convinced for a good week or so that I had joined up with a gang...

I got one when I was 17 and another and 21. At 36 I regret them both and wished I had researched them more before doing something so permanent.

No reputable tattoo shop will do you if you're drunk or otherwise incapacitated anymore, and they will not do anyone under 18. Some even hike it to 21.

And the 'parlor' where they do the ink. Many counties now have Health Codes that these places have to abide by. Check out your local places and ask them what kind of sanitation procedures they use. Do they reuse needles after sterilizing or use new ones?? Is the ink used for one persons tattoo or for several.....
Also ask them to show you their "flash book" - their book of the tattoos they've done. You can also google tatoo flash and see tons of ideas. Once you've decided on a tattoo design ask your artist to draw it out for you and see if their interpretation is what you like. Many artists are really great at listening to what you have in mind and coming up with a unique design that fits your ideas perfectly....
And keep in mind that some areas of the bod are a lot more sensitive than others....
Good luck,
Steph
