I'm thinking about getting one this weekend (two actually, because it'd be a pair) and I need some insight. Would you or do you have a tattoo? If so where and why'd you get it? Did it hurt like hell?

I got one in September of 2008. It's the letters APLV which are the first initials of my immediate family, and it runs down my left side (ribs). I wouldn't say that it hurt terribly, it just stung here and there, kind of like a scrape or a burning feeling.
Before getting it done, my tattoo artist asked me if I heard anything about getting tattoos on the ribs before, I hadn't, and he just laughed and said he would tell me after. After he said that it's one of the most painful places to get a tattoo and if you can stand that then you're pretty much set for any others. So, I would definitely get another in the future. What were you thinking of getting done? And where? |

QUOTE(Tori-Ann @ Jun 30 2009, 10:07 PM)  What were you thinking of getting done? And where? Wings on my ankles, right above the ankle bone. But I saw something about walking a lot after getting one done there and irritation and I'm going to be getting it in NYC where I do nothing but walk, so now I'm not so sure.

Two of my best friends got tattoos on their feet. You need to make sure you go to a good place. If you get it done in NYC, I'd recommend East Side Ink - they're expensive but they're really good (http://www.eastsideinktattoo.com/). My friend who got her foot tat there didn't have any problems with it and it hasn't faded at all whereas my other friend who got a foot tat somewhere else had to go to ESI to get it touched up. Tbh, the tattoos I got done at East Side hurt like a bitch, but they're also really, really well done, unlike my first tat which didn't hurt at all and is now looking like shit. If you end up going there, try asking for Sweetie :D I think he's kinda cute for an older, middle-aged man ;) |
