PJ's tattoo
This may have been previously mentioned, but the he-man macho PJ is obviously a bigger wuss than originally thought, as his tattoo obviously hurt the poor baby so much that he couldn't bear it going all around his arm! Big girl's blouse! Hopefully, when Spencer is gone on Friday, he'll be next!

I noticed that but,not being engraved myself, thought he wanted it that way. It does look daft - but then... most tattoos do. Such a strange fad to suddenly catch on. A tat on a pert 21 years old is one thing but the same tat on a flabby aged 60 year old... oh dear

I think the point of those tattoos is that you get the outer side done first, then the inner side done at a later date if you feel like it. The inner side hurts MUCH MORE because the skin is softer and more sensitive. So some people decide they can't go through with the completion of the tattoo.
So yes. he's a wuss. |

The fact is that now almost all tattoo artists now work from stencils/transfers. To make the tattoo go all the way round it has to be enlarged which would make the width considerably bigger. In my experience (which I have a fair amount) most people keep it the size it is, especially seen as the underneath of your arm is so senstive.
By the way brasil just scored again (1-2) |

In my experience (which I have a fair amount) most people keep it the size it is But those "wrap around" tattoos don't need to get enlarged in order to wrap around the whole arm. What happens is the tattoo goes on one side of the arm. Then if the person wants it completed, they get the same tattoo again on the other side of the arm, and it gets joined. And because these tattoos usually have a pattern, they join easily. So if PJ wanted his tattoo completed, he would get exactly the same tattoo again on the inside of his arm, and it would be joined perfectly with the one on his outer arm. |
