Local girl wins Miss Tattoo NSW title

Baaahhhaaa.. Love all these people going on about REGRET… We are not talking about a rose tattoo on a boob here.

Miss May had no signs of regret when showing off her art at the pageant on Sunday, She showed it to us judges with confidence and a fun and sexy attitude.

Soo much thought goes into the design of your sleeve.. This can take make years of personal experience to make up what you want to represent on your canvas… Not only that but picking your tattooist.. Miss May is wearing some work from some amazing artist from Overseas.. And also the money.. It cost thousands and thousands of dollars to have to work that May has..

Plus in this day and age where the stigma attached to the industry of men and women with tattoos are either bikers, in the navy or crims is OVER AND OUT.. LIVE IN THE NOW PEOPLES…

KUSTOM KULTURE.. – get involved..

As as for being old.. We are the majority us tattooed folk so we can all compare wrinkled tattoos together.. YEW..

We are only in this skin for 1 life, who knows what we will be in the one after this..

SO DECORATE THE HELL OUT OF IT!!!

Peace

May is a tattooist herself I think. I like tattoos but not when they cover your entire body. But to each their own!

Snicker at Holden Caulfield’s comment!

I have a fair bit of work from freestyle, great artists, clean studio.
Still a believer in the job killer tattoo though, while I’m in double digits as far as ink goes, none are visible in a suit and tie. (Can lead to funny looks if people who know me from suit and tie job see me out of the office though).
Best response was from someone who worked with me a few years ago “but you seemed so nice and non threatening in the office”.

@stacey: Good luck with copyright, you’re be better off with trademark infringment. 😛

@hetz: basic html does work.

I love it how people always rabbit on about how silly that tatto is going to look when you’re older! And how much you;ll regret it!

You’re going to look silly when you’re old anyway… Everything stops growing except for your ears and nose and hair pops up eveywhere except where it is supposed to!

Congrats to May and good on her for reppin’ Canberra! 🙂

For anyone that’s interested, May actually works as a tattooist at Freestyle tattoo on Northbourne Ave, with her partner Rush. Both do some awesome work.

Don’t care how hot the lady was. Once she has a tatt she has mutilated herself, I dry retch.

At least that will be a clear indicator to everyone with an open mind to steer well away from you.

Hahahahahaha, same here Berra. Only crims, sailors and soldiers had tats when I got mine.

The ‘type’ of people who get tattoos is certainly changing. When I got my tattoo (the size of a ten cent peice!!) my dad coudn’t accept that people other than ‘criminals and bikie girls’ get tattoos. But I think 30+ years in the force will do that to you!

While I’m sure that the tattoo rennaisance thanks you for your persistance in pursuing an unacceptable alternative artform with a groundbreaking and visionary committment that has now paid dividends in making the tattoo a vibrant part of popular culture, I think it’s more likely that the type of people who get tattoos has never changed – people that like tattoos have and always will get tattoos.

Advances in thinking and technology just means they can be bigger, better and visible rather than small and funny looking ten-cent piecers that you describe.

This said (and in the name of staying on topic…) Miss Tattoo has some great art but unless you’re a tattooer, muddied ink on your hands can still be a big fat mistake.

Disappointed. Not one southern cross to be seen!

I don’t mind the odd tat, but all over? Beautiful girl forever scarred….

I’m sure she would be devastated to hear that some people who dislike tattoos don’t like how she looks. Doubly so if she finds out it’s been spread all over the internet.

I can’t quite imagine what an abdonimal tattoo would look like after a few kids and maybe a c-section.

Like a MAD fold-in.

Canberra Miss Tattoo is not apart of the Miss Tattoo Australia Pageant and is currently being investigated for trademark infringement and and false advertising as thier advertising is in breach of Miss Tattoo Australia Pageant’s copyright as it confusing the media and general public thinking it is apart of their avent……I’ll keep you updated!

I knew as soon as I saw the first picture of her that I’d seen her out in Civic once before and she was wearing a sleeveless top, for obvious reasons. Go Canberra and go May!

that May is hot.

except for the tatts – yuk.

Like when bits of you shrink, expand, sag, wrinkle, get burnt off or cut out as you age. I can’t quite imagine what an abdonimal tattoo would look like after a few kids and maybe a c-section. Or a tatt down your thigh over a liberal dose of cellulite. Could you pass it off as hail damage?

Still, some of them look amazing.

For those who are interested the Canberra Miss Tattoo is held at the Basement (Belconnen) on 28 November.

I’m glad she likes it and it’s won awards. Well done to the relevant tattooist(s).

However, as a person who got inked when he was underage – and before it seemed like everyone else was getting it done, (I was 17 in the Navy, and I was placed on a charge for it), I’m kind of hoping whoever tattooed her when she was 14 faced some sort of penalty (assuming it was a tattooist that is, and not a 14 year old friend).

I also hope she never regrets getting her tatt’s. Many people do as they get older.

Nice win though. Congrat’s!

Wow, what a gorgeous woman. Some cool body art too. I liked Casey Budden’s look also.
