Doo Yoo Tattoo?

anufangava · Aug 11th, 2006, 03:51 AM

I, too am afraid of putting something permanent on my body. I had eyeliner tattoo on my upper eyelid, and at times, I wish I didn't even get this!

anufangava · Aug 11th, 2006, 03:52 AM

BTW, is it true what I saw in an episode of House? That since tattoo have metallic components from the dye, having an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is going to be very painful????? Yikes, what will happen to my eyelids?????

I love tattoos but don'y have one, and I LOVE Miami Ink!!! I would have Kat or Chris Garver for sure!!!

For the girls who found getting a tattoo painful, may I suggest an epidural if you ever go through childbirth - LOL!!!! Natural childbirth is a KILLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i loooooooove it. it was my birthday present to myself...i've been thinking about it for a few years, but for various reasons never got it done. yesterday i bit the bullet and i am SO glad i did! i can't wait until it heals!

ilzabet that's sosososo pretty...i've been seriously considering a white tattoo on my wrist (can't get colored since that's definitely not cool for work)....i'd love to see how it looks when it's completely healed over....did it hurt alot?

ilzabet · Aug 11th, 2006, 11:22 PM

jc: thanks!! it definately hurt, but not nearly as badly as i was expecting...the first two letters felt like bee stings. the L was over a tendon, so that hurt quite a bit (i had to stop for a second and drink some water). after that, my wrist went numb and i carried on a conversation with my friend. that said, i personally wouldn't want to do anything much bigger in more than one sitting without a LOT more breaks...mine took less than 10 minutes (really only about five...the artist was really suprised it went so quickly)

i think i'll probably start building a collection of thick banded watches for work though. i work with the public and even as subtle as it is, i still got asked a lot of questions about it.

yee. rambly. sorry. i'm just really excited.

can't wait to see it when it's all healed!

Tres cool, ilzaet! I've never seen a white tattoo before. Very nice! That lettering work is awesome.

Hmm, may have to get off the fence and get that rose afterall!!

What's everyone's next tattoo going to be?

To me, Dragons have been done and Unicorns have been done. The Griffin, is a really cool mythical creature. It has the body of a lion and the wings of an eagle.

I did a search on the Burrows coat of arms, and I was told it involved a griffin. I don't know whether or not that's true, because to actually find out, I'd have to shell out 200 bucks or whatever for the actual framed document.

I want something to join up the tattoos on both of my hips. I'm kind of a weenie about getting this one, because it's going to be on my lower back and it's going to be expensive.

I got my first tattoo at 32

I have wanted one for as long as I can remember and no one thought I should do it. My Dad, my ex-hubby were soo down on it. Then finally I had a friend that totally supported me and I had the guts to do it!! My Mom even went with me too

After the two paw prints (for my sweet girlz!):

I got a lizard on my left hip bone and then Mom drew me a dragonfly for right between my shoulder blades.

All my ink is very personal and very meaningful and I love them all!!

My next one is coming soon-- I just need to decide on a design, LOL

Wooo! I was actually wanting to start a thread like this, so glad to see one already in progress!

My first, my monarch. Very symbolic since I moved to Santa Cruz to go to school here.

And my second, is a little crappily done but my sister has a matching one. Sister tattoos.

My third will be my cat's paw print, and fourth will possibly involve stars.
