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? |

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.

You may want to rethink getting a tattoo on your ankle is you plan to be walking around a lot. I was planning to get a tattoo in that area for my bday and my tattoo artist told me to allow a couple of days to stay off my feet because that area tends to get really swollen, especially when you walk around. I was going to get it on my bday but since I'm going to be partying that night I'm getting my tattoo is either a few days before or a few days after. |

Thanks for the advice, Kiera.I ended up not getting it done that weekend, but maybe next month. We'll see. |
