I have three tats and you will have to be female and go to bed with me to see them!! 

I am a pooying.. Am I allowed to see them?

But of course Elsie

[elsie]

Hey I never noticed but do Thai men have earrings??

Yep. My mate the barman has one. Left ear. I like it.

[IamMaiC]

LC Are Tattoos expensive or inexpensive in Thailand? I just want a simple Tiger on my left upper arm. My wife don't want me to get it though but I want it. She said I would look like Mafia.

[shopgurl]

IamMaiC - depends on where you have them done and the size of the tat itself. For example, 3 inch diameter tat would start from 300-500 baht....starting from $7 and could go up depending on how intricate your design might be.

Tats & piercings, no tat yet-still working up the nerve but as for piercings-ears and navel.

I have LOVE HATS Tattooed on my knuckles.

Bloody love hats, me.

[RDN]

...My tattoos read; "BLOOD TYPE AB-" in English.

Why do you want a blood group tattoo ?

Same as you mate - mental image: lying on a trolley, in hospital, unconscious, arm falling off, song taew driver already done a runner, can't speak the language, don't want any mistakes!

:D Especialy after last Friday! (Tattooed boobies are quite nice too, eh? Scampy?)

[MaiSonJai]

(Tattooed boobies are quite nice too, eh? Scampy?)

Should Scampy start a new thread?

Tatooed boobies, how they change my life...

It is hard to make a mistake if I'm on the receiving end. I can accept transfusions of the common ABO blood types without a problem, but it's a one way street. My blood will cause a severe immune reaction, maybe death, if given to anyone outside my own group.

Blimey! Do you remember the first film in the series, "Alien"

Okay now for the next part ... who wants to show their's off with some pix in the photo gallery???

[andyadam]

I have two W's on my a##, one on each cheek, when I bend over it says WOW!!!!

[boris]

I was wondering how many TV members have tats and/or piercings. If so where are your piercings or tats? If you have a tat what sort?

Me- one left ear pierced and a welsh dragon on me left arm!

I always thought there was a significant trailer trash element on this forum.I guess this proves it.

Health Dangers of Tattoos and Body Art

Article Description: 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.

Health Risks Warning On Body Art Dyes

Andrew Osborn in Brussels

The Guardian

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."

So, for all of you who did it.

Who have a dragon, a tiger or anything else on your body.

Something that will be with you for, well, as long as you live.

Would you do it again now?

Now that you are a few years older.

And if you do it again.

Why?

What Are Tattoo Inks?

The short answer to the question is: You can't be 100% certain! Manufacturers of inks and pigments are not required to reveal the contents. A professional who mixes his or her own inks from dry pigments will be most likely to know the composition of the inks. However, the information is proprietary (trade secrets), so you may or may not get answers to questions.

Most tattoo inks technically aren't inks. They are composed of pigments that are suspended in a carrier solution. Contrary to popular belief, pigments usually are not vegetable dyes. Today's pigments primarily are metal salts. However, some pigments are plastics and there are probably some vegetable dyes too. The pigment provides the color of the tattoo. The purpose of the carrier is to disinfect the pigment suspension, keep it evenly mixed, and provide for ease of application.

Tattoos and Toxicity

This article is concerned primarily with the composition of the pigment and carrier molecules. However, there are important health risks associated with tattooing, both from the inherent toxicity of some of the substances involved and unhygienic practices. Some of the risks are described in this article. To learn more about these risks, care of a new tattoo, and get other information, check out some of the sites listed to the right of each page of this article. Also, check out the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for any pigment or carrier. The MSDS won't be able to identify all chemical reactions or risks associated with chemical interactions within the ink or the skin, but it will give some basic information about each component of the ink. Pigments and tattoo inks are not regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration.

Pigment Chemistry

The oldest pigments came from using ground up minerals and carbon black. Today's pigments include the original mineral pigments, modern industrial organic pigments, a few vegetable-based pigments, and some plastic-based pigments. Allergic reactions, scarring, phototoxic reactions (i.e., reaction from exposure to light, especially sunlight), and other adverse effects are possible with many pigments. The plastic-based pigments are very intensely colored, but many people have reported reactions to them. There are also pigments that glow in the dark or in response to black (ultraviolet) light. These pigments are notoriously risky - some may be safe, but others are radioactive or otherwise toxic.

Here's a table listing the colors of common pigments use in tattoo inks. It isn't exhaustive - pretty much anything that can be used as a pigment has been at some time. Also, many inks mix one or more pigment:

Compostion of Tattoo Pigments

Color

Materials

Comment

Black Iron Oxide (Fe3O4)

Iron Oxide (FeO)

Carbon

Logwood

Natural black pigment is made from magnetite crystals, powdered jet, wustite, bone black,and amorphous carbon from combustion (soot). Black pigment is commonly made into India ink.

Logwood is a heartwood extract from Haematoxylon campechisnum, found in Central America and the West Indies.

Brown Ochre Ochre is composed of iron (ferric) oxides mixed with clay. Raw ochre is yellowish. When dehydrated through heating, ochre changes to a reddish color.

Red Cinnabar (HgS)

Cadmium Red (CdSe)

Iron Oxide (Fe2O3)

Napthol-AS pigment

Iron oxide is also known as common rust. Cinnabar and cadmium pigments are highly toxic. Napthol reds are synthesized from Naptha. Fewer reactions have been reported with naphthol red than the other pigments, but all reds carry risks of allergic or other reactions.

Orange disazodiarylide and/or disazopyrazolone

cadmium seleno-sulfide

The organics are formed from the condensation of 2 monoazo pigment molecules. They are large molecules with good thermal stability and colorfastness.

Flesh Ochres (iron oxides mixed with clay)

Yellow Cadmium Yellow (CdS, CdZnS)

Ochres

Curcuma Yellow

Chrome Yellow (PbCrO4, often mixed with PbS)

disazodiarylide

Curcuma is derived from plants of the ginger family; aka tumeric or curcurmin. Reactions are commonly associated with yellow pigments, in part because more pigment is needed to achieve a bright color.

Green Chromium Oxide (Cr2O3), called Casalis Green or Anadomis Green

Malachite [Cu2(CO3)(OH)2]

Ferrocyanides and Ferricyanides

Lead chromate

Monoazo pigment

Cu/Al phthalocyanine

Cu phthalocyanine

The greens often include admixtures, such as potassium ferrocyanide (yellow or red) and ferric ferrocyanide (Prussian Blue)

Blue Azure Blue

Cobalt Blue

Cu-phthalocyanine

Blue pigments from minerals include copper (II) carbonate (azurite), sodium aluminum silicate (lapis lazuli), calcium copper silicate (Egyptian Blue), other cobalt aluminum oxides and chromium oxides. The safest blues and greens are copper salts, such as copper pthalocyanine. Copper pthalocyanine pigments have FDA approval for use in infant furniture and toys and contact lenses. The copper-based pigments are considerably safer or more stable than cobalt or ultramarine pigments.

Violet Manganese Violet (manganese ammonium pyrophosphate)

Various aluminum salts

Quinacridone

Dioxazine/carbazole

Some of the purples, especially the bright magentas, are photoreactive and lose their color after prolonged exposure to light. Dioxazine and carbazole result in the most stable purple pigments.

White Lead White (Lead Carbonate)

Titanium dioxide (TiO2)

Barium Sulfate (BaSO4)

Zinc Oxide

Some white pigments are derived from anatase or rutile. White pigment may be used alone or to dilute the intensity of other pigments. Titanium oxides are one of the least reactive white pigments.

Do it again?

Without a doubt, and plan on more. Presently 3, thinking 6-7 more. Have some piercings as well.

Every one I have I have thought out, mean something to me, and relatively discreet (cannot be viewed with t-shirt & shorts.)

For instance, when I get married, I will have my wife's name written (4-5 inches up & down) in local alphabet on the inside of my left arm- closest to heart (not technicly I know.) On the right inside of my arm, my kids will have their name(s).

To me, tatoos are deeply personal, and represent who you are.

That is, if you weren't completely pissed when you got it.

[MaiSonJai]

A clear mind.

A tatoo.

Not so often in Thailand, I think...

[Duality]

i got my tat done at buddy lodge pumpkin studio on khao san road. 4 hours work for 7000 baht. i was told i paid to much but he did a great job. its worth paying the extra baht for something so permanent and personal.i had thought about it for many years before deciding to cover up my indian ink teen angst scrawl with a half moon half sun on my right shoulder..based on a design that caught my eye by the number 1 american tattoo artist paul booth.

I usually am a bit pissed when I get the tatoo, but I usually look the day before in the afternoon, settle on the tat, the artist, the price, and then tell them I need 24 hours to think it over.

One thing for sure, you live with it your whole life (more or less). If your not going to take it seriously, then question what you do take seriously.
