Anonymous asked: I've always wondered the reasoning/history behind the solid blackwork I've seen a lot (mostly half-sleeves) besides the beauty, any info would be much appreciated. :)

hellofromwhereyouwanttobe-deact asked: For the anon that asked about the black armband.
I have one and this is what it means to me
"The 'black armband' view of our history reflects a belief that most Australian history since 1788 has been little more than a disgraceful story of imperialism, exploitation, racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination."

namesofthedead asked: In answer to the question about pain and blackwork tattoos - I don't think heavy black is that much more painful than any other kind of tattoo, the pain level depends more on the artist and the method (needle grouping/type of machine used).
