Me getting tattooed on the side of the head - Trucker Tom

Me getting tattooed on the side of the head by Travis at Brainstorm Tattoo in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I kept looking out of the corner of my eye at the LCD screen on my Aiptek A-HD+1080p flash-based camcorder.

ehhh, i guess you have to be obsessed with them to get them on your head, damn that..... you got a good payin job, or own your own buisness to get them....

@waistedaway There are quite a number of people who would love to get prominent tattoos. However, they can't because of job or community pressures. The obsession with tattoos has caused me to realize to what extent we are slaves to others. We have to be "good slaves" with the proper look for quite a few jobs and employers. Whether you like tattoos or not the bottom line is that few people are truly free, or even in charge of their own thoughts when it comes right down to it.

If you get a tattoo on your scalp, will the hair still grow?

[tomwiles]

@99centENTERTAINMENT Yes your hair will still grow just as well after a tattoo as it did before.

looks stupid

@Mastermitz91 Thanks for your comment -- I appreciate it whether you believe me or not. Be thankful you don't have a similar obsession. The results of a tattoo obsession must be lived with 24/7. Church people and little kids stare. Once I was in Alabama in a tiny truck stop restaurant and one of those church people started preaching loudly to his grandson about the evils of tattoos. I ignored grandpa and went about my business but it was interesting to be verbally spat upon. You from Alabama?

[bastidador]

bollocks to that mate. that must've hurt like flip. I have a very low pain tolerance, but somehow managed to get 50+ hours worth of tattooing over the years.

Do you hae anything done on the back of your head? If so, how painful is that?

Cool tattoo, Tom. I have both arms sleeved, a back piece, upper chest, and a few tattoos on my legs. I haven't worked up the courage for the neck/head tattoos yet. That's takes some serious commitment. But, once you get that first tattoo is in our blood and you have to have more. Congrats on an awesome piece!
