...tattoos that is? Share your first tattoo experience! My friend and I are planning on getting one in about a month. I think I'm going with a purple and yellow (or some other color with purple) butterfly on my back...upper left hand corner. Can someone tell me what to expect in terms of pain and afterward?

well i dont have a tattoo but i plan to get one of calvin and hobbes

i could never get a tattoo. permanent body art frightens me.

I don't have a Tattoo and I don't want one either.

Don't have one yet, but I've wanted one since I was 15 to 16. Maybe on my next birthday...

They are tacky, I'll never get one.

Depends on the area of the body you're having it put on. The shoulder shouldn't be too bad - but do consider it - a lot. Think of what it'll look like when you're sixty and whether it'll still even sit in the same spot on your body - gravity can do amazing things! :lol:

I put one on my left baby toe when I was 15 because I didn't want to regret having it when I was older. Even at that, I wore a bandaid on that toe for about 4 years whenever I was around the house as my parents would have KILLED me. It didn't hurt at all, but that is a "tough" area.

I'm glad I didn't get it anywhere else - my husband can't stand them - especially on females.

For the ladies, don't get it done on your lower back. The reason for that is because if you have children, you're doing a natural childbirth without a choice. They won't give you an Epederal for the pain if you have a tattoo there.

:lol: Somebody should have told Britney that before she allowed herself to be impregnated by the Human Sperm Machine!

aaaaand you'll get older and it will look like a stretched-out blob of ink on your back.

Plus they tend to blur and feather as the skin ages. (A girlfriend had "Thumper" done on her breast when she was about 21 - by the time she hit 36 Thumper had the height of Bugs Bunny - by the time she's in her 50s, he should look like Harvey - the 6' imaginary rabbit in the Jimmy Stewart movie). :eek: :lol:

MSN had a recent article that talked about this and they found the ink of the tatoo doesn't interfere with the epidural after all.

ditto....although my GF has 3 little ones...I can live with that

I want to get something with stars. Lindsay Lohan totally stole my idea and got a tiny star on her wrist. That's what I want.

My dad got a tattoo of a rose on his chest 15 years ago, and it still looks just as good as it did the day he got it. :lol:

awwww man - i thought you were gonna ask if I had any threes :(

no body plays "go fish" any more ohno:

I want my cat's paw print on my inside right calf, and some chinese design on the inside of my left arm.

well i dont have a tattoo but i plan to get one of calvin and hobbes
Ummm your avatar is hot.

Me and tattoos dont mix.

no

but someday (once i get over my total fear of needles..) i want to get this on the back of my right shoulder:

bleh, I don't like the way they look...that dark...green color...bleh

My dad got a tattoo of a rose on his chest 15 years ago, and it still looks just as good as it did the day he got it. :lol:
But, wait till his breasts start to sag...kidding ;)

I don't plan on getting one, but if I ever did I'd get it on my inner thigh or something.

awwww man - i thought you were gonna ask if I had any threes :(

no body plays "go fish" any more ohno:
hmm, i have a pair of sixes!

But, wait till his breasts start to sag...kidding ;)
:rofl: He's not even close to being obese!

no

What does that mean?

hmmmm... do you have any EIGHTS?

I never thought of putting a tatoo on my toe, but I like the idea. My parents wouldn't go for it, but once I move out and everything I'll take it into consideration! Nobody would ever see it! Thanks! :)

What does that mean?
Well, it LOOKS like "AI" the Chinese ( and Japanese ) word for love, but, its missing 3 strokes, so im not certain

"AI" the Chinese ( and Japanese ) word for love

yup.


(mikado- where are the 3 strokes missing though? my cousin may have simplified it....just so there isnt a word close to it and im not going to have a symbol meaning "aardvark" on my shoulder or something..)

That's what I have on my baby toe! ;)

Yeah well, that area is a LITTLE different on guys than girls!! :lol: Lucky buggers. :rolleyes:

I'm getting two on my 18th birthday. One is going to be on the back of my shoulder, and it will be a R.I.P. type thing. The other is going to be a kitten trying to catch a butterfly, on my ankle. I love cats.

I've always wanted to get a tattoo, but I could never decide a design.

Another thought on the lower back tatto gals...
Don't do it.
It's been done to death.
It seems like every girl I see in NYC between the ages of 21 and 30 has one.
Tattoos used to be cool because a few people had em.
If everyone in the room has something scrawled on thier upper ass, what's so unique about that?

No and I dont want one

i agree, more girls need to go for the "GFI electrical outlet tattoo-on-the-forehead look" - now THAT is hot.

:lol: It's true! Ozzy Osbourne even said it. And now that I think of it - TJL's scenario of all these upperass tatoos in one room - it would look like the brandings on different herds of cattle!
