Tats

[novadawn969]

So I'm gonna be celebrating my birthday by going to a skating rink and then getting a tattoo.
Lol.
I feel young.

I need tat ideas.
Where, what, and how big?

Having virgin skin, I'm going to think this out really well for the next 3 1/2 weeks, or just not get it.

Help!!!

you should get a full color piece on the side of your calve. somethig whatever your into, id get leatherface.

[hacelikewhoa]

Get something that means something to you. Or at least something that you are affiliated with or have a good deal of interest in. I've wanted to get a tat for a while now and have come up with tons of ideas..only I do not have any artistic ability and I want to be able to just walk in with what I want. I need to find some one who would be willing to draw for me.

[Roderick Usher]

If you are afraid of the pain, I'd make certain to avoid area where the skin is close to bone (wrists, ankles, breastbone, hips, shoulderblade) as this hurts a lot more than tattooing over muscle (biceps, calf, thigh, forearm)

Go big! most people's first tattoo is something they love for a while, but almost always wish it was bigger. Get color. Do your research, find the best tattoo artists around you.

And like hacelikewoah says, get something personal - you don't need to have artistic ability either. Go to your artists BEFORE your appointment and give him/her your concept... the artist (if he/she is worth a damn) should be able to sketch out your idea before hand - that way you can make any adjustments BEFORE making it permanent.

Yeah, see my fianceis an artist. I just have to come up with what I want him to draw.
I'm stuck though.

The places I've kinda thought of are my hip, my side, or my pelvic bone.
Either something little or something really gorgeous.


This was one of my ideas:

I know how you feel when it comes to first tattoo decisions and nerves. I celebrate my bday at the end of January and want to go get a tattoo.

I want something like that, that I can show off with when I wear pretty shoes. Same place, still anchors, but rounder and girlier. Something very retro though. I've been researching for about 2 years to finally know for sure what I want and the anchors have a double meaning. I live at a port, and there are boats going through every day. I couldnt imagine not being so close to the canal. Anchors also represent the people who ground you so I'll always remember home and the people who are here.

I hope you find something you really like :)

I was going to get a Joker tat last year, but now that he's so much more popular than ever...I'm kind of glad I didn't.

Maybe in a few years, when Dark Knight fever dies down a little bit.

This is the worst>I hate when people ask for opinions on tattos ( What to get where to get it )..... Dumbest thing ever. Get what you want and you like, where you like it.Its a tat and it will be on you for life.I have 10 and have never asked anyone anything.Its personal issue....I dont get it...You say you feel so young going to a roller rink ( well how old are you ),:eek: :confused: you sound like a 15 year old, yet for your birthday you are going to a roller rink...... What the fuck is going:confused: :eek:

[hacelikewhoa]

sheesh lighten up dude.

[Spallalala]

Sounds like NYC is a grumpy ass ha. Think you gotta keep your nasty opinions to yourself.
Nothin wrong with ice skating ( unless you are me with a bad back then not recomended)
Its ok to get opinions, shit I kept asking people in regards to the placement of mine. Didn't do any harm.

First things first, tatts are so overrated but love em. Took me 3yrs to get my first one and got mine right on a bone too ha ( back of my neck ). You gotta love and I mean absolutly love what you are getting, its gotta be something meaning full, don't just get a star cos its a star ha. Names are a bad idea IMO symbols and arty stuff are cool. But yeah just make sure it has a proper meaning to it and depending on how big you want it depends on where you get it.
Gotta animal you have/had poured your heart into, top of arm or top of leg. Only prob I see with gettin on the top of the legs is that they change so often so by the time you are 60 lets hope its not droppy. So if you are buff stay buff.

Don't be one of those ones that gets somethign for the hell of it, my friend has ( what she calls) a dragon fly on her ear..now cmon it looks bloody stupid, looks more like a bit of dirt on there.

Anyone with a fucking brain in thier head will ask advice when they feel like they need it.

You could actually add to the discussion by recommending that Nova simply follow her heart and get what she knows will make her happy instead of attacking her for asking those who have gone through this process what they think.

Advice is a wonderful thing. And being kind to a senior forum member, especially one as kind as Nova, is alway a cool thing to do.

And I'm almost 40 and love the roller rink... especially the Roller Derby Rink! that's the perfect storm of hot tattooed chicks, blood and roller skates

this is why I wish I had some artistic abilities.. I want something of my own that I can create..I have a lot of ideas, I just wish I could draw them out and I'd rather not waste a tattoo artists time seeing how they charge you hourly around here.. I want to have it drawn out and ready when I walk in and just get it tattooed.

tell him URGEOK is a brand of coffee or something

@ Nova,

Even if you don't know what you want, don't worry about it. You can always add to it or cover it up later.

For my first tattoo I had in my mind this large backpiece, but in the end I ended up getting something small because I wasn't sure if I wanted to commit that much money and pain to something I've never done before. The tattoo didn't really turn out the way I wanted, but that was because my tattoo artist wasn't very good, and since I hadn't done enough homework, I wasn't aware of it at the time. I was just so excited to get a tattoo (also on my birthday btw). I'm actually going to get it covered up with something that I like better when I get some more money together.

When you get your tattoo, make sure you eat a good meal before hand otherwise you may feel sick during it. When they start tattooing it will hurt some (I think it feels like scratching a sunburn), but you actually get used to it after awhile and it's not so bad. I got mine on my abdomen and over part of my pelvic bone. Which going over bone is a strange sensation as I could feel my entire pelvic bone vibrate. Afterwards though, I got this crazy adrenaline rush and just felt amazing! My friends and I went out drinking afterwards to celebrate. :D


@Mikey
Nice sleeves! :)
