Video: The art of tattooing as seen in close-up and super slow motion is really interesting

Painful, painful art...

Painful, painful art…

When it comes to getting tattoos a few of the JOE lads have been more than happy to sit in the chair and endure some mild pain in a namly fashion while the others have refused to do so on the grounds that they claim their bodies are already perfect.

Yeah right, we believe you lads.

There are a few interesting ideas being bandied around the office though about potential future designs, one of the lads wants a flaming eagle on his chest with the face of Marty Morrissey while another JOE wants a classic heart with his mothers name written on the inside. Awww.

We’re very aware that quite a large amount of Irish people have gotten tattoos and we’re sure that they are all very personal and meaningful, not the result of some drunken night in Spain, but this video of the process involved is very interesting.

The lads that haven’t felt the pain of the needle were very curious. This video has now convinced them all to get a Conor McGregor style design on their chests.

Take a look.
