i want each half of a yin-yang on my wrists for starter tattoo, to represent the duality of gender and all that

I love them but @_@ I'm such a baby with pain

I AM HONESTLY Super crazy allergic to pain.
Seriously.
I am a big big baby!
If I can do it, you can!
I am serious! I pass out during blood draws and sometimes vaccines!!!

( I'm not sure how painful wrists are..hmm...I'd imagine they wouldn't be any where near as bad as say...an ankle or hands...or...neck XD)
(I think there's a guide somewhere that'll tell you which body parts have the most pain reception..)

Either way, I have confidence in you!

my mum has an ankle tat, I know those are SUPER painful from her and my other issue is ..needles @_@ freak me out baad, like, knocked out nurses before bad, but I still wanna try

you can do it you can do it you can do it!!!!
I'd even go with if I could!

I have one on the underside of my left wrist and I forget about it almost daily lol

HAHAHA oh geeez not you too!! XD

The day I turned 19 (last july) i became heavily influenced by mahjong and going to bed at 7pm. The process of becoming senile as begun.

lol!! oh NOPES!! XD (lol that's funny!)

I have a gigantic bird on my stomach (seen here http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10137049/ and http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10887665/ ) and I forget it's there all the freaking time.There aren't a lot of mirrors at Juin's house... I have a total of 13 tattoos and my 2 second largest ones are on my back (I can't find a pic atm, will look for one or post one later)) as well as a little Homage to my grandmother on my upper back.
Legs are a good place for tattoos. Pain isn't TOO terribly horrible, and aside from the funny spot of non shaved hair as it's healing, they are visible, and can be covered if needed.
The arms IMO are a commitment. I have one on each shoulder (seen herehttp://www.furaffinity.net/view/7197582/ and herehttp://www.furaffinity.net/view/8623401/)
I noticed RIGHT away after the first one (the star fish) that people were looking at me differently, kind of oddly actually....that was until I changed my hair color to violet..Once I "matched" I stopped getting weird stares and got more "Oh is it a sea turtle!?" or "I like your hair!" or "So what are those things"

It's weird.
For my B-Day (the 19th of this month, the big 2-9) I am going to get my right sleeve finished up. It won;t be a complete wrap around sleeve, but more like the completion of a theme and I am interested what the other humans I occasionally interact with at the store and such will do with that kind of thing LOL.
People are weird.

Also my ex Best friend got a tattoo she loved, then got bullied into changing it and had it covered which I thought was insulting to my tattoo artist, and shortly after that got another large on on her arm. She works a traditional job and never had the weird stares like I did. SO idk...maybe it;s because she's petite, blond and has big boobs.

I have big boobs too, but am no where near petite...

sorry, rabbit trail.
TL;DR I Agree, get one where you can see it, it;s more fun, and you should get your Draft horse on your leg somewhere I think :)

"rabbit trail" CUUTE! cute phrase :D

I really love that starfish! Really well done and the bird is lovely too! I just think it's awesome you have so many tattoos! I love them and I feel that looking at other peeps's tattos really helps get to know them!!

On my leg?? hmmm... That's doable! Visible but more easily covered!

(Although, I'll be honest I wear long sleeve 99% of the time even in hot weather!) So, where most people, a sleeve would be really noticeable, I hide my arms most of the time.

BUT- I do like less pain! haha

Oh well, no where near a point in my life were I could get a new one anyway :P

I have three and am saving up for a 4th which i am actually having hush make of my two calves. Except for my first tat the others dont hurt. I go into a trance like state when getting tattooed its very relaxing and thariputic for me

NICE! :D Sounds just WONDERFUl I love the idea of getting your calves tattood!! :D

Y'know, when I had teh one on my back it wasn't bad until baout the 5th hour and he was going over places repeatedly...
Also when it got high on my neck THAT hurt more...

NOT as bad as my brain thought it would be :)

:'D I have one, no one knows I do because I don't wear crop tops but at least *I* can see it.
I'm thinking about getting a 1/2 sleeve though so maybe people will actually realize I have them! Just got my nose pierced and the shop had a mini voluntary questionnaire. I ticked yes for "tattoos, piercings, ect." and the counter guy smiled at me all goofy like "naaaahhh" :'3 Little girl has a tattoo, sir, not lying. Now stab me with that huge scary needle pls.

NEAT!

Oh how was the nose peircing?!
(I've been really wanting a piercing for years but I'm pretty apprehensive about it....)

"stab me with that huge scary needle pls" LOL! hehehe You're tough!! :D

It was good! My piercer had a very gentle and precise hand, so I only felt pressure and it was done! I used to be really scared of needles, I still am a little, but I've had several piercings done and learned that if you pick a good piercer, the needles are so sharp you shouldn't feel much!

Nice!! You're really building up my courage! :D ( I've always really wanted a peircing!)

Although where I live I feel it would be hard to find a good one....seems like mostly slap-dash places here.. hmm..

Come visit us and I'll take you to Aaron. He has so many tattoos that you'll be too busy looking at them anyway❗

hehe, well should I be in your area, I would be incredibly honored to meet you and your mate!

Also, I'm really timid about personal space but when I see tattoos I turn into this giant spider monkey, leaning in and just...I love tattoos!

Oh man I know what you mean! I have a phoenix on my back that I absolutely love. But I never get to see it. XD

AAAAAAAAAAAAW ;_; I feel your pain!

*pats soothingly*

Oh dear... XD

Im on the road to getting a rib tatoo c:

Thank you *sniff* ^.^


Oh my goodness gracious you are a trooper! I....owie, I imagine that would be excruciating ( I'm not helping!) BUT some of the most beautiful BEAUTIFUL tattoos that I've seen are on the side, or ribs so..

I'd say, it would most likely be worth it!

Ahhah no I know ribs tattoos are one of the most painful tattoos you can get-especially if youre on the leaner side :F

I just want some like.... watercolour splas.. thing on my ribs with some typewriter type text over it c: nothing too labourious and the good thing is I can just get the water colour part done. Cry. And then get the text done in stages if its that bad XD

awww..but my plan was for one on my back..though I figured I would forget about it every now and then. and thats ok. it'd have become a part of me.i forget a lot of things. Though Im waiting and making sure I super really want this and feel comfortable with it.

hehe

Waiting is good!! Waiting is very good and really just...committing to it mentally!

You can get one on your back if you'd like! Don't make me persuade you otherwise if you're really sure.

I guess I'm just saying that I really wish I did put it somewhere visible... Only person who sees it is my mate XD

true. I do want some where I can see it too..it hard to pick a spot that looks good, wont stretch as much, doesnt interfere with work..but you can enjoy it on.

HAHAHAHA! I forget mine often as well, and they're on my legs where I can see them... actually I put one big leg sleeve there MYSELF.

Okay, you win! ::bows:: WOW you did your own sleeve!! THAT"S AMAZING!
Oh wow never met a tattoo artist before! That's really awesome!! :D I love your profession! I just think it's wonderful! I am a fan!

haha well I guess, gosh I don't know!
I could probably have one on my forehead and I'd forget it too... XD

:P
There's a lot of ins and outs to the political side of the profession, and I'm still learning them. It's frustrating. My mentor was a loner, she knows the ins, but because she didn't socialize with anyone I never learned them. Except to not 'toestep'.

My mom had the best idea with tattoo placement: get it somewhere visible, but hideable. So you can show it to people who want to see (friends, family, that hot guy at the bar), and hide it from people who don't (grandparents, employers). It's worked great for hers. She's got some on her hips and ankles.

Sounds like your mom is awesome!

That's a very good idea! Great advice!!

( I guess I just say sleeve because I wear long-sleeves 99% of the time XD so...for me it would be hidden, but I understand!)

The tattoo artist I go to gave me the same advice when I went in for work. I was debating placing it on my upper back/shoulder area or putting it on my upper arm. He convinced me to have it on my arm and I'm very thankful for that! But I wear long sleeves so often that I still forget it's there sometimes. XD

YAY!! Sounds good! I'm glad you can see it!! (haha!)

I'd most likely forget I had a sleeve too.....honestly...XD So I don't really blame you there!

I HAVE A HORSE TATTOO. Its my favorite. It's a greek sea horse with draft fuzzy feet and a big strong chest. <3

OMG THAT"S SO AWESOME YOU ARE MY HERO!

I have none, but I adore seeing them on people. I find myself staring.

heheh meee too!!I want to look at all the tattoos! Which, no doubt makes people uncomfy someitmes but I"m just very fascinated with them!

Me too! :D I know someone with a 3D tattoo. I just wanna' stare at it with the glasses on. LOL
