Tattoos - Page 7

I've never heard of that. Both my tattoos are a fair size, not too big and not too small (at least for me anyway) and they are both black. The one on my back hurt more then the one on my leg because of the bone. I just think it depends on a persons pain threshold. If you can take a lot of pain, then it isn' really going to hurt. I was all prepared for major pain when I had my first one done but I was nothing. Yeah it hurt a bit and it was over the bone. It only took 20 minutes to complete so in reality it was nothing.

I have nothing to compare it to, only having one, so I wasn't sure if it was just a rumor. At the time I was getting mine, I didn't want to ask and end up wussing out.

I'm a bit jealous of the 20 minute thing - mine took an hour and a half and I had to take a break towards the end so the artist could rest up a bit. Going back in that room was not easy once I had a break from the needle, but I also didn't want a tattoo that was half done.

Maybe the black hurting more thing has to do with outlining - I know the outline and any small details hurt a lot more than where anything was filled in. Who knows. I was too embarrassed to pay attention to the pain - my tattoo guy was cute and my butt was completely hanging out the whole time. Oh well.

An hour and a half? How big is yours? Did they use lots of colours? My friend's took an hour and a half but it's a huge. She a wolfs head with a tribal wave going through the back of i on her shoulder. It's really big and that's why it took so long.

Mine's all black and it's about 3 inches tall and 4 inches wide. It was supposed to be smaller, but it had a lot of detail so they had to enlarge it. It's a decent size, but I'm sure all the small lines took up most of the time. Plus the 15 minute or so break was thrown in there, plus the ten minute cleaning/prepping/etc. So really, it was probably more like an hour of work, but that's still a lot. It came out well though, so I'm happy.

I was always told that our nationals discourages us from getting our letters in tattoos... I want to get a ladybug on the side of my right foot since I decided not to do my letters... but I can't find a ladybug I really like... I already have three tattoos... one on my lower back on the right side... it's a sun design I drew... very simple... I have another tattoo of a sun in between my shoulder blades and I have a turtle on the inside of my left ankle... it's really cute and the shell is a swirl... it's very simple but so adorable!!!

Oh, but I missed it! I did *bump* the thread though, so I had a part in this!

Kitso, you need to take a pic of your tattoo and put it up! I don't think I can wait 'til the summer to see it.
