I've wanted a tattoo for about 10 years but I've no idea on what to get done, I keep on seeing things I kinda like on other people but I don't want to get something someone else has really.

I would like to get the names of my two sons on me somewhere but no idea where or what I want it to look like.

I've also never looked into getting one done so I've no idea even how to go about getting one.

Go into a studio and ask to look at script if you want writing done, see what you like or what fits the names and go from there :)

And for anything else if you see something you like or 3 things you like that might fit together contact a studio and explain to the artist elements you like and let them design something for you if you dont want to pick something out of a book or get something someone else has already.

Where abouts are you based in Scotland btw +unabatedshagie?

That looks really nice. Based on a engraving I take?

Based on the medallion we all got during Paratrooper training in the Army, St. Michael, the artist took a bad drawing and made this from it, it was originally to be more intricate and have color, but we both agreed that simplicity was the best option

I agree. It really looks marvelous.

One ususally is more neutral about his own ink so believe me, your's gave me tattoo envy.

I don't have any tattoos yet. I plan on getting on with my sons full name in the shape of a B (his name is Brantley). But I'd like to get more, either to encircle it, or bring focus to it (almost like the B is a power core). I am not very creative though, I know what I like when I see it. kind of want something 3d-ish / abstract.

Going to go on my forearm, so easily covered w/ a long sleeve shirt.

If anyone has any ideas.. ;)

currently awaiting my first appointment for my first tattoo, Gf has 1 on her left wrist black scroll & bluebell flowers, just paid the last amount for her next tatt for next month.

Shes wanting a sugar skull based one done, in memory of her dad who passed away last month. Going to cover her entire left forearm (inside)......

similar to http://inkarttattoos...kull-maiden.jpg

but with thistles or similar instead of the roses, dependant on wether or not the inkmaster can do it.

Im currently saving for my first, I want a Giger-esque left sleeve based on Li L

@sanctified....sorry did you say all your tats are self done? as in you ink yourself? If so that's doubly impressive as they are sooo sharp, how the F do you tatt your "writing hand" so sharply???

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

      People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
