i'm scared it is going to hurt! it will be my very first one... if I survive this one I want to get ( B ) next..
A). I want this right between my shoulder blades and instead of " LOVE".... I want it to say " joy" in memory of my grandmother ( her name was Joyce)...
if that goes well then I want to get this down my ribcage.....( possibly) or on top of my foot... where Jesus was nailed on the cross...
for those of you that have tattoos do you regret getting them done, did it hurt as bad as some claim? I have a pretty fair and high pain tolerance.. i just don't want to get myself in a pickle if it's unbearable...

Please don't anyone slam me to hard but I could never for the life of me understand why anyone would want any tattoo.
If I were single & even thinking of hitting on a female I don't care what she looks like, the minute I see a tattoo I'm not interested.Please know that I pray for each of you daily. Be very careful out there & BE SAFE.

Alot of people share this opion honestly, a lot of people think they look trashy for me it's more of a dedication type thing... the roses for my grandmother we was extremly close she pretty much was my mom growing up... and even though the bible says not to get all inked up I think the cross is a decent testimony of my faith .. just my thoughts though...i commend you for your honesty

Instead of "Joy" you should put "Feed me Seymour" around those flowers.

The pain depends on how you can tolerate it and where it's being applied.
I had mine done on the top right section of my back, it takes up about 1/4 of my back. The only part that was really painful was when it went over my spine. The rest of the time it felt like a minor sunburn.
Make sure you use a top notch tattooist. If you go with the guy that does it cheap your color will fade within a few years, the lines won't be straight, and/or it will look flat.
A good tattooist will be more expensive but remember your tattoo will be there for life.
Make sure you see your tattooist's past work! Not the stuff that's hanging on the wall but the work that they did on a person's skin. A good tattooist always has photographs of their work. And make sure they know how to spell!!!pafindr

I'm not a fan of tattoos on women. I am a big fan of the belly button ring though.

that sounds close to where I want mine and yes I am concerned with the spine area..that's mainly what I was questioning, there is a place that does fantastic work in a town close to me i have seen their work in person.. my friend is good too but I have not seen his work in person, I just would feel more at peace if he did it but I might go to the other place b/c they are very very well known...

those are cute but they snag easy, mine was a 16 guage silver hoop, I still have the piercing but I never wear the hoop anymore you have to constantley take care of it when you use it b/c of the friction of the rubbing, unlike your ears it gets infected really easy. and for the record if it should ever close I will NEVER NEVER get it redone... it hurt really bad..
