Puff the magic Dragon

[TotallyOz]

Many thai boys love Tattoos. I do as well. I have a few myself but am a pussy when it comes to pain. When I lost 70 pounds, I had a celebratory tattoo on my shoulder. I really like the result but it was a hard one to get. Thai boys seem to love tattoos and most of my ex's have asked for them. I doubt anyone I know would ever get the one below but I did think it was great quality.

A little history from the owner:

my pics seem to have become detached from my write up. this will answer a lot of the questions asked.

 

1st July 2, 2006.

I am John Bevan; I live in South Wales, U.K. I am 62yrs, 5ft 9ins, and; sorry girls; gay and in a stable relationship. Having got the basics out of the way let me give you a very brief outline of my tattoo.

 

It was 6 yrs in the planning, started in June 2000 the genital area being finished February 2002, and the complete ‘shorts’ finished 2003. It was my FIRST tattoo, and the tattoo acquired the name of ‘PUFF the MAGIC DRAGON’’ I have read with interest the feedback on various sites that have ‘acquired’ a picture of my tattoo, and in reply to many questions read on: -

 

It is a real tattoo, and pain was negligible as I used a skin anesthetic, AMETROPE. The genital and pubic area took 50 hours of work whilst the rest of the shorts took another 35 hours. It has not been ‘re-touched’ at all, and the colors get brighter when erect. I think this is due to the extra blood supply during erections. It was very difficult to tattoo due to the ‘mobile’ nature of the skin and its very variable nature/texture. (go on have a look!). The scrotum skin was stretched out over a wooden spoon. The head is totally covered, it DOES have eyes nose and mouth. The apadravia piercing is a 5mm by 34mm long bar.

 

I was not erect while it was being done, we were both too busy getting the wriggly little thing in the right position to ink him. Erections while so called healing was taking place were never a problem, and did not inhibit self abuse! Or wanking!!

 

I have won several first prizes for this tattoo in Britain and France, and god knows how many ‘personal appearances’ at non tattoo places! I hope this clears up a few points, contact e-mail is below. I have pics before and after each tattooing session, a complete history of the dragon. john and Puff. brynorpheus@aol.com

 

People ask ‘why get a tattoo there’? I think it does to a certain extent reflect my character. I like to be different and do the best job possible. I am also a bit of an exhibitionist, although when I went for the first tattoo session I did think that I would have to keep it ‘under wraps’ and not be able to go naturist as I have been doing most of my life. Oh boy was I wrong! The dragon has acquired quite a reputation from all walks of life, and is looked upon as a work of art rather than a set of male genitalia.

 

It started life as a water transfer and felt tip pen drawing applied to the area and over time evolved; with Dave’s help; from a snake into the design you see today.

The name “Puff the Magic Dragon” came about from an early showing at a friend’s birthday party when I was asked to show off my tattoo. I was a little apprehensive but after the gasps had died down, a young lady exclaimed “Puff the Magic Dragon” and the name has stuck.

The artist, Dave Fleet, said that in his experience colours and particularly detail could run together and become blurred in this area; the cock and balls. So, undaunted we ‘tested’ a two inch section of the shaft and a one inch circle on the head. I am circumcised by the way, had it done 26 yrs ago.

 

I went back to have the second sitting 2 months later to be inspected to see if the tattoo was stable color wise etc. and I do remember the artist being surprised and delighted that it was exactly as day one. YIPPEE! I will say at this point that we had contingency plans if the colors had bled or run. This was how convinced the artist was that the detail would ‘run’. Do remember this was my first tattoo so I had no personal experience of the healing or other troubles some people get.

 

We decided to leave the cock and do some work on the pubic area with the wings, and a test on the scrotum for the same reasons as the shaft.

 

The shaft was finished some 18 months after the first session, and the colors/details are the same! Take a. close look at the shaft. It has only ever had a slight ‘thickening’ of the skin, never any scabbing of any sort.

 

The whole tattoo is original and has never been re-worked or ‘touched up’ (innuendos intended, but it is meant in the re-tattooing sense!)

 

I am convinced that the spectacular results are due to the artists abilities and his development of a new tattoo machine ‘THE EQUALIZER’ (patented). Why am I so convinced? The results show the artists skill, and on one occasion he had to use a traditional tattoo machine, more discomfort, slight scabbing and a lot longer to settle down. When I went back two weeks later for another session Dave had to go over some of the work done with the standard tattoo gun. This is when I found out about the new machine, he had kept me in the dark until then. Not that I had worried about what machine the artist was going to use when I booked with him. Subsequently I asked him to only use the ‘EQUALIZER’ on me. The difference is amazing.

 

The artist is DAVE FLEET of ABRACADABRA in Blackwood, South Wales, and Britain. 01443 837410

He also markets the ‘Equalizer’.

Tattoos - I have discovered they are something people either loathe or love.

 

Personally I am with you GT - I love them - especially on asian guys - the Khmer/Temple tattoos are simply stunning for my eyes. When you talk to Thai people about the traditional tattoos carried out more often than not in a Temple by a Pra with a bamboo "needle-gun", they are really held in high esteem - and are often seen as extremely powerful ways of bringing good luck and/or protection. The symbolism is fascinating and I think it would make a brilliant anthropological PhD thesis! I know one guy who believes that the tattoos on his father's back have made the man immune from fatal accidents!

 

However, I have heard so many farangs say they hate tattoos. Maybe this is because we look at them with western eyes, and see them merely as inked skin, not with the same deep cultural roots rural born Thais do. Certainly, I can imagine the majority of western mothers screaming when they see their son has a tattoo - yet thai Mothers see these traditional tattoos as welcome and indeed the right thing for her son to do....

Tattoos - I have discovered they are something people either loathe or love.

I'm in the former category. I normally find even the most artistique tattoos hideous, especially when they are openly visible when a person is dressed or partially undressed - the same goes for piercings BTW. However, I have to say that the one in GT's post is oustanding and quite original - (fortunately it is probably going to be covered up for the vast majority of people).
