Re: I'm getting a tattoo!!
Coolness. I want more tattoos but my (gold-tanned) skin color is a selling point, so I have to wait.
My best friend is getting a 5 pointed flower tattoo soon....it's a clever Celtic design to conceal a pentacle in a flower. I'll have to take a pic of the pendant she's copying from & share it, I thought it was an exceptionally good choice.
Re: I'm getting a tattoo!!
The Celtic flower sounds awesome! I can't wait to see the pic!!
I was worried at first that a black tattoo on my hipbone would look weird but then I realized it probably wouldnt... but I'm still considering other places to put it. I def want a black raven with the green eye, but placement is my last issue.
Re: I'm getting a tattoo!!
I think the raven tattoo sounds really pretty. And I like hip bone tatoos.
Re: I'm getting a tattoo!!
I love tatoos, i only have 2 but the r so addictive!
Re: I'm getting a tattoo!!
Good luck. I just got my first this year. Word of advice take a valium even if its just a half. When I got my touch up I didn't have one and it made a world of diffrence!
Re: I'm getting a tattoo!!
I have 2 tattoos on my scalp..I was cracking "Blackbeard's map" jokes but seriously, I don't want visible ones yet. I got those for "me." (They also won't fade from sun because they're covered up.) But yep, addiction baby, & I am not addicted to anything except orgasms.
The last one is on a ridge of bone & it hurt like a motherfarker. I was making Popeye faces when the tattooist wasn't looking because I went to high school with her & I didn't want her to think I was a wussy.
Re: I'm getting a tattoo!!
Tatts are cool.........I have 9.......3 on right arm (Mahogny with angel wings (2piece) and halo....beautiful in script with chinese lettering of beautiful under it......1 on the inside of my left arm (God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way).........1 on the back of my neck (sexy sleek green eyes)........2 on my back (spikey heart with upside down triangle.....C.ASH R.ULES E.VERYTHING A.ROUND M.E) going around from side to side.....1 on my right side (half naked female with a whip, tounge ring and nipple rings---its huge).....and 1 on my left leg (YUMMY with tounge rings coming out of the Y................................................
Tatts in my eyes are the most beautiful things created......you can tell a lifelong story by just inking it on your body.......its just something that never gets old......I got my first one when I was 15....Happy my uncle was in the tattoo business ;D .
But just make sure its something you want.......it really doesn't hurt especially if you are listening to your favorite music..........it kinda feels like a mechanial pencil dotting your skin.............For those who don't like needles....I AM ONE.....
My tounge ring hurt like hell.....but my tattoos didn't hurt as much.
Re: I'm getting a tattoo!!
oh yeah......get A&D ointment.........the orginal...........u are gonna need it.....yea yea its for diaper rashes and used for first aid treatment..........but once you get the tatt....rinse it off when u get home with antibacteria soap (NO FRAGANCE, NO OILS).....take a hot washcloth and let the steam saturate...then rub (don't rub hard) a LITTLE bit of a&d ointment on it......NOT ALOT because it could clog your pores...just enought to give it a shine.............i recommend not using it on the spots where u didnt get inked at...cuz whats the use......then after about 3days get CUREL UNSCENTED WITH ALOE VERA.............thats the best trust me..........i use it on all my tatts.....
peace

Re: I'm getting a tattoo!!
Whew, thanks for all the advice and stories! About the valium, I plan on taking a percocet about a half hour before a needle touches my skin. :P
NOW I'm just trying to scope out pictures of ravens and raven tats that I like to show the artist.
