BEAUTY X PAIN
I had my first and only tattoo (at least, for now) in a beautiful afternoon in phi phi island last year. It is a traditional bamboo tattoo, which a signature style of tattoo art in the island.
They said bamboo tattoo hurts less than the machine work, but since they do it manually (yes, they hold up a needle with a long, tiny stick of bamboo and start to draw on your body with special tint), it will take longer time to finish one pic with medium complexity. Mine, took more than 4 hour to finish while the Irish guy who was at the time sitting next to me had been there for an on and off three days in a roll to finally had his full arm covered with a freehand tattoo drawing of koi fish tattoo.
Knowing the fact that the more painful process is done by machine (which unfortunately I've never experienced, yet), I wonder how these beautiful ladies did it. They got these massive, complex and details tattoos carved on their softly skin, and some even got them in their very sensitive parts of body.
And I think they also pull it off just fine too. Great.
Anyone planning to get one too? you can find many great references here, here, here or maybe here.
