h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I got several tattoos, and they make many people look at me. Some come and ask me about them. The tattoos make it easier for a man to start a conversation with me, so I hardly ever spend a day in a pub alone
The other thing is that I use to colour my hair red. That also attracts people, I have no idea, why, but it works!

How many tattoos? I currently have 13. Tattoos are addictive nobody can have just three. My next one is going to be my name in Kanji on the back of my neck, and the one after that is going to take awhile. It is going to be another dragon starting on the left side of my chest and extending down to the right hip and then down around my right leg. An oriental dragon of course.

they make me feel sexy I guess and they definitely are conversation starters. The red hair sounds nice, it is my favorite.

I got six of them. complete list: a native american atyle armband on the left arm, a Cetic Cross on the right, then a Caledonian thistle on my breast, an eye behind torn skin on te belly, a rat on the left shoulder and a Yin Yang on the right. The next will be the Celtic FC- logo, and after that a the bust of Nofretete. It really makes you an addict, and I just can't wait for the next one!!!

Just wondering, what are the price ranges for tattoos. I myself am thinking of getting one, but it´s a rather big and (would I guess) complicated one. What kind of money would I have to put down for it?

How much would it be for a fairly small, simple one using just one colour?

I paid (in Glasgow) 50 pds for my Celtic Cross, which is black and quite simple. It is 11 cm high and 8 cm in breadth. The small thistle has 5 or six colours and cost me, also in Glasgow, 30 pds. It is a bit larger than a silver dollar. I could tell you about the German prices which are terribly high, but you should go and as an artist in yr countries about it.

Now that is really expensive to me.

It may be expensive, but remember, it lasts forever... and it depends on the artist. Some scratchers may do it for less, but in my opinion you culd as well take a knife and hurt yourself instead. It is art to do a good tattoo, and you don't get good work for free.

It´s not that I don´t think it´s worth paying for. Just means that the tattoo I was thinking about is probably out of my price range. But I have heard that there are also some sort of temporary tattoos. That should last only 5-7 years. Any know anything about them? I think it might only be used to tattoo make-up on though.

The temporary tattoos are a big, fat lie. They do not disappear. Don't believe that, okay? Anyway, you`d pay for being f****d.

Well, if it´s cheaper than at a prostitute why not?

I love my tattoo, I've only got one so far, its an ohmmmmmmmmmmmmm
People stop me in the street to ask me what it is. As its a Hindu and Buddhist symbol, a lot of Hindus ask me if I know what it means! I guess they assume that I just asked for the pretty symbol, without knowing. It also means I'm the one who gets asked by all the Hindus where the Immigration Office is.
I want to get another one, I'm working on the design.
I loved the pain of it, it was a real defining moment for me.
