Doo Yoo Tattoo?

CalamityKate · May 15th, 2007, 10:37 PM

I have an infinity sign on the back of my neck. I hate it though. I was being soooo stupid!

ProfNot · May 15th, 2007, 10:53 PM

I think it is cool when others have tattoos.

But I can't see getting one.

I change my mind soooooo often. What I thought was cool a year ago I now think looks like crap.

My tatoo rule has been
If I like it 1 year after getting the idea, then Go For It.

Hasn't happened yet.

Hi everyone, well I have been thinking about getting another tat for a while, and have decided on getting a fairy of some kind! I want to get it just in of my hip bone, so it's not flashing but I can see it kwim?

So would all the people that have tattoos please share your stories etc and any fairie pics you may have!

Thank you xx

heres mine, it was a gift to myself for accomplishing something unbelieveably challenging.
Picture quality isnt the best, but its really sharp and vibrant in person

^ V pretty!!
I can't decide whether I would like it in colour or just black/grey, I don't want to over-do the tat, you know because it's only going to be smallish?! xx

My advice for tattoos is to make sure it's something that has meaning to you, and to think about it for awhile. When I think about some of the things I almost got tattooed on my body, I'm thankful that I made myself wait a few months for when I did get mine, haha. It's been 3 years and I'm still glad I got it.

I don't have any photos, but I'll explain mine. It is four black dog paw prints, and they are "walking" up my upper back (left side). I like the location, since it's not a part of my body that's going to change much. It's easily visible but also easily concealed. Dogs are very important to me, and I know they always will be, so that's why I chose the tattoo. Everyone that has seen it says "it's so you!" and that makes me happy because it's true. My tattoo represents a big part of me.

It sounds like you already have a tattoo, so you know what the process is like? I found the actual tattooing to be enjoyable. I went alone, which was an important part of the experience for me. It wasn't as painful as I thought it would be (more of a hard scratching), and the pain was almost pleasant. That might sound weird but that's how it was for me. I chose a reputable tattoo place; I had been there before for a piercing and felt comfortable there. It was clean and everything was explained to me before doing it. I don't regret my tattoo at all!

Luva Pug · Jul 21st, 2007, 12:02 PM

^ Ah sounds soo sweet!
I went with my Mum and got a flower on the inside of my right wrist for finishing and passing my A-Levels; and therefore getting onto my Uni course for Dentistry.
The pain for me was soo bad, but I can live with it! I cried in the middle of it, but people have said that it is quite painful there!

I want a fairy to guide me through my uni years, I just need to find/design a nice small plain tattoo.

^ I've heard the wrist is a very painful spot!

You might be able to get the tattoo artist to design you a fairy. You could bring in some designs you like, and they might be able to make one that fits with your life and what it stands for. Good luck!

This one is cool:

^^^^ The wrist is NOT a painful spot!!!!

I got my wrist done like 5 months ago and it was not bad at all! I got a heart with wings on my foot and I almost passed out from the pain but my wrist was a breeze

VanessaJean · Jul 21st, 2007, 12:32 PM

I have 5 tattoos but no pictures to post so I will explain them- My first one was a cross in the middle of my back. I got it 7 years ago. Then I got a large lower back piece of a cross with a tribal design. It was the only one that cause me any pain. It was a long sitting too (about 3 hours(. I also have an ankh on the back of my neck, the Biohazard symbol on my inner forearm and a Templar cross on my leg. All my tattoos are religious symbols. I have a strong interest in religious history and imagry. I plan on getting a half sleeve soon and likely more work on my back, wrist and other forearm. I love tattoos!

Everyone is different, as are pain tolerance levels. A spot that really hurts for one person won't necessarily be that bad for another.

doubtfulguest · Jul 21st, 2007, 02:04 PM

My wrist tattoo hurt like crazy! I have 18 so far and that is the only one that really bothered me. Combine the pain with the swelling and it was def. my worst (pain-wise) tattoo. Anyway, here are most of them.

1) wedding date

2) my favorite/best tattoo-- Title character from the story The Doubtful Guest (no, not an anteater or aardvark

)

3) me and my BV bag..shows off what will eventually be a quarter sleeve

caitlin1214 · Jul 21st, 2007, 02:47 PM

Both of my tattoos are on my back.

My first tattoo is one I got when I was 24. It's the Greek letter omega. I love Greek letters and I love Greek mythology.
Also, it sounds kind of cool to say "I have an omega tattooed on my back!"

The second tattoo is one I got when I was 25 and it's the grail copied from the Monty Python and the Holy Grail DVD cover.
I got it because I'm proud to be half English (and I'm a huge Monty Python fan).

Sorry for the quality. It's difficult to take pictures of my own back.

caitlin1214 · Jul 21st, 2007, 04:42 PM

Each time I got one I showed it to my brother. His response was always along the lines of I don't like the idea of you having a tattoo, but the one you chose is pretty cool.

(He threatened to never speak to me if I got a shamrock.)
