Love the dragon tattoo! Really nice colours too. Are the inks used today better than in older tattoos? The colours seem so much brighter, and seem to fade less. And the designs seem much more fine in detail. Seems that tattooing has made some good progress in recent years.
It's a Chinese dragon that I want, the round faced one with a long body (serpent like). I want it to run down from my shoulder to my elbow and cover most of the outside of my right arm. I got a quote from a tattoo parlour near me and was told it was going to cost in the region of £400

I've never had that much to spare since wanting a tattoo, even less so now I'm back as a student. I don't even get that to live on for a month!
But I will one day
By the way, how much are some people paying for tattoos? And how about recommending some good tattoo artists? I've heard that they aren't all the same, and a good tattooist is worth their weight in gold.
I've never had dreadlocks, but I like the idea that once they are done they are fairly maintenance free
I used to dye my hair all sorts of colours - red, peroxide blonde, black, blue - when I used to be in bands all the time. But I got fed up with the colour fading and having to redo it every few weeks. These days I just shave all my hair off, wait until it grows to a length that needs brushing, then shave it off again. With my own clippers it also means I haven't had to pay for a haircut for years
Only downside is that the shaved head is a bit of a Chav look these days

Might be time to grow it into something different. Quite fancy a mohican, but as I'm studying health care it might not go down with some of the patients. I'm not allowed to freak them out!
