Doo Yoo Tattoo?

Jen Loves LV · Nov 29th, 2006, 10:14 PM

I have a ton of tattoos, I just got one started on Monday (there are some pics on my myspace page in the latest blog), my whole left arm will be a Koi and water scene. I'm so excited, I love tattoos!

I have one on each calf left is a dragon with Kanji symbols for power and strength, right leg is a tribal piece.

Left arm has one finished and colored koi and a complete outline done for the rest.

Right arm has a celtic knot on top of wrist and a arm band with my sons initials on it up top

Left shoulder has a little red kitty holding a pair of handcuffs

Right shoulder has a bunch of flowers (in my myspace pics)

My neck has the Kanji symbol for love surrounded by some black design in desperate need of a touch up!

I have 3..One on my hip..it's a swirling vine w/ flowers and birds..one on my shoulder..a double rose, and one on my ankle..a sunflower...The ones on my shoulder and hip I get recolored every few years or so...if you don't keep them maintained as your skin ages they become kind of faded and dull...the one on my ankle I will NEVER have redone as the pain was not worth it..ANd I don't think tatoos are painful and have a very high tolerance to pain...I wouldn't get the one on my ankle redone unless you cut my leg off....

I keep toying with the idea of getting 2 tattoos but I do not like needles and I do not like pain. My DH says it doesn't really hurt, that it is more an annoying feeling than anything. I also know it depends where you get it on your body. I was thinking about a band around my upper left arm and one on my left shoulder just above my scapula.
Are these sensitive areas? Am I just being a big baby?

hmwe46 · Dec 2nd, 2006, 03:37 PM

I think the inner arm is probably a fairly sensative place to get one, anywhere over a bone can be painful.

You can do some thing things to minimize the pain:

no caffeine 24 hours before a tattoo (or waxing! LOL) as it makes your skin more sensative

eat a good meal and stay well hydrated

eat a bananna about 30 minutes before getting inked as the potassium helps decrease skin sensativity

take a Tylenol about 2 hours before

I am one of those people who is incapable of making a lifetime commitment to any personal adornment. There are days when I change earrings two or three times.

Of course I have thought it would be nice to have a tattoo from time to time, of this, or that, of one color or another, with a particular outfit - but that's just it!

The tattoos that I want can change if I just put on different shoes or bling, put on different shoes - I wish there were a better selection of cheap temporary tattoos, or that I had more artistic talent and could just draw on myself with felt tip markers and shower it off later

I do! I have a dolphin on my upper right shoulder. I wanted to be a marine biologist!

OMG!!

I can't believe he's allowed to tattoo! I think my 9 year draws better than that...

I have three and I hate them. They are not visible when I'm wearing a bikini, so I don't mind. But I got them when I was VERY young and totaly wish I had waited until I knew what I really wanted. B/c now I know what I would really like but I feel like I ruined it!!

So you should always wait wait wait!!

hmwe46 · Dec 3rd, 2006, 12:51 AM

Good advice Faith!

If I had gotten the tattoo I wanted at 16 yrs old I would be stuck with a cheesey and trite 'moon and stars' gig on my ankle!!!

Luckily I wanted 18 yrs and ended up with some really meaningful (to me) work that I am sure I will always love.

I have four--a dragon on my left calf, dragons on either shoulder blade, and a lotus blossom just below my belly-button. I didn't get my first one til I was 34. I still want one more--a "tramp stamp" (lower back) of yet another dragon--but my DH thinks I have enough (he doesn't have any) and I've been too lazy to drag my carcass to the local tat palace. Trust me, when I finally get motivated, I will do it, DH or no DH!! I'm trying to talk him into getting one 'cause I think he'd look very sexy , but so far he is resisting me.
