ouch! where did you go for that one?!
lol, i know! no one has hair there!

if you dont mind me asking, what did you get there?



Some place on Sunrise Hwy - it was about 6 years ago...Chat Icon

It's just a tribal design - something similar to something I used to doodle ages ago. The guy did a crap job - you can't tell by looking at it, but I can. You know?

He had me stretch - so the tat should be longer/bigger than it is but b/c he had me stretch, it shrunk. Chat Icon

If I have the strength Chat Icon I'd like to cover it up with a different tat. Someday...

Re: Does getting a Tatoo hurt?

Mine hurt for a few minutes but it went away after a while. It got annoying.

Jenn I know someone who has a lady bug on their foot it looks so cute. The Lady bug is sitting on a flower. The stem goes around their toe (or is it the other way around) she said it was painfull and she has to get it re colored often because the ink "rubs off" from her shoes. BUT it looks so cute.

I've heard that. A lot of places won't even do one on the foot b/c of that...

Re: Does getting a Tatoo hurt?

Mine is on my lower back and it didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would. I had sunburn when I got it so that probably made it worse. I've since realized that I have a higher tolerance for pain than I originally thought.

yea i like the ladybug thing...but i had also thought having a little moon on one foot and a little sun on the other....we shall see.

You have 3 dogs which dog would you use? or all three?

I would put a little pink bow....either around one of your fingers/toes
are you talking about something that wraps around or just the bow part



ooh! cant wait to see which one you choose!

yeah id get all three's prints.. but shrunken down tiny.

good idea of the toe thing! i never thought of that! i wonder if my toes are too small?! i LOVE that idea!
i was also thinking on my inner wrist.

I've heard that. A lot of places won't even do one on the foot b/c of that...



yeah. you should only get it done in the summer so you can wear flip flops/barefoot.

so that means you have to get it NOW jenn! (peer pressure!)

I have one of my lower back, right side. I think getting belly button pierced hurt a lot more that the tattoo did.

Re: Does getting a Tatoo hurt?

Mines on my lower back and it didn't really hurt that much. It was more annoying than anything. I want one on the arch of my foot, but I've been told that will hurt very badly.

Re: Does getting a Tatoo hurt?

it does and doesn't. It hurt while it was actually getting done, then afterwards it tingled, itched a llittle bit. I had psyched myself up about it so badly and could not relax while getting it done, that I almost passed out in the chair.

I have a lower back one. The ankle can be bad because there is no padding and they do hit the bone-DH has a band around his ankle and one going up the back of his leg which he said wasn't bad-it's all meat.

One thing is for sure... tattoos are addicting. I have four, and the one that hurt the most is the one I got on my wrist (the others are on my back, back waist area, and around my belly button).



I agree! They are addicting!
All of mine hurt - I mean its a needle sticking your skin over and over again. The ones that hurt the WORST were: the back of my neck and my ankles. The ones that hurt least were: the one on my lower back and the one on my shoulder.

ETA: seriously consider where you put it and if you will want to hide it at all...I started getting them when I was 18 and didn't stop til I was 25 and I regret SO MUCH getting so many of them. I wont even wear shorts anymore! I'm also in the process of having some of them removed and it is SO expensive and hurts twice as bad as getting them did.

Well...there are 2 answers to that LOL
I have 6 spots on my body that are tattooed...but I have 12 different pieces of work. What I mean is, I got a tat on my shoulder...and then a few months later I added a big piece to it - so its really 2 tattoos but in one spot. So I have 6 "spots" on my body and 12 tattoos total...and my bellybutton still pierced. I got that pierced and then walked across the hall and had a tat done on my lower back...man was THAT a mistake - I couldnt sleep on my stomach or back for a week! Chat Icon

I tell people all the time how much I regret so many of my tats...I try to get them to rethink it.

How long are they estimating that it'll be removed?

I went to a place that claimed it'll take 8-10 sessions (at least 3 weeks apart) to remove this itty bitty one... I was dumbfounded. How did Angelina get hers (Billy Bob one) removed in weeks????

WOW....so they are big.

i think people should really think about it before getting a tattoo.
I myself have had mine for about 11 years...not one regret.

Re: Does getting a Tatoo hurt?

here is the second (and larger) half - notice the tattoo scabbing and lifting up - when it comes off its all raw flesh - it is gross, it hurts and cost me $1400 already and Im barely half done with this one.
