I finally grew a spine and stopped talking about getting a tattoo done and did it :) And now that it's done I really want to do more. My friends warned me that it might be addictive, I had no idea how right they were :D

I'm already thinking about getting some work done around it to embellish the original piece :)

I like the piece - congratulations
Remember Terminator was just a flick - Nerdlife is a state of mind...
Took me almost a decade to get what I thought I wanted - and no doubt almost 20 years after that I am still a satisfied customer. I wanted sleeves, a back piece, a chest piece after that first one, though I resisted the thought. Think on what Spice Weasel said...the tat man will still be there in 6 months if the piece is meant to be.
Just my input - though what you want as embellishments sound pretty cool!

How long did that take?
I'm planning on getting a binary tattoo sometime in the future.

About 20 - 30 minutes, it really wasn't too bad in terms of pain. The worst part was when the needle went over the tendon in the middle of my arm. That kinda burned a little ;) I intentionally picked a fairly sensitive area to get a good bearing of just how much pain I'd have to go through if I wanted any more done.

Congrats! :D Ive been meaning to get more (I only have 2) and I agree once you get bitten by the bug you do want more.
I have a tribal band on my upper arm which was done by a close friend of the family (family in our eyes) so has special signifiacnce.
My second is a 'band' tattoo on my leg, its a robot version of me playing my bass, our drummer has the same robot on his arm but playing the drums. Were are trying to convince the other 2 members of Not Rocket Science to have the same tattoos ;)
I have also promised to have the RAGE logo (my clubnight which I am really proud of) on my body somewhere and also I have said I will have my beloved Aston Villas badge on me if they get into the top 5 of the premiership (fat chance at the moment LOL!)
I will find a pic and post my tats up when I have chance :)

Congratulations on the new piece, I had a pretty nerdy piece inked on my skin just a few months back too.
