Re: Tattoo

if you're gettin something like that which is basically just an outline it won't hurt too much - the shading in hurts the most.

depends where you get it too, mine is on the back of my neck and it was unpleasant. things like your foot will hurt.

i like the snowflake :) if you're worried you won't like it in 20yr don't get it done. or get it somewhere you can't see it every day :p

gah, tell me about it! i'm now day 4 post tatt and it's still so sore and now it's all scabbing and i'm trying hard to keep the scab on so the colour will be okay :(

in hindsight i should've had it done when i knew i had days off work. neck tatt + work shirt collar = irritating.
plus i've been working with a patient with VRE and MRSA doing individual nursing so i'm paranoid that i'll become infected with both in the tattoo wound. blah.

Re: Tattoo

Make sure that it's small enough so that when you have laser removal people wont notice the scars too much.

Re: The Tattoo Thread (merged)

i got my first tatt in feb.. on my left shoulder blade. i was freaking that it would hurt but was determined to get it. cuz i dedicated it to my pop who passed away a few years ago.. i hate needles but have always wanted a tatt.. it didnt hurt at all.. i had it coloured in and shaded too..one spot was pricked slightly harder then the rest, other than that it felt great... im just trying to figure out what i want for my second one. then im off to get it!!!!

Re: The Tattoo Thread (merged)

the only thing i'd consider getting tattooed is a small treble clef, somewhere near my hipbone (i dont know which side)

but i'm too chicken to get it done - and besides i dont really have the money to get it done anyway. i think i'd get my tongue pierced before i got a tattoo haha and im too scared to get that

I think you should just get it pierced on the left side. I think it would look fine. But than again...it really does depend on what YOU want.

Re: Piercings and Tats

i'm undecided on what side to get it anyway

i didnt know that there were any connotations towards sexuality

i was thinking i will look like i will topple over if i get it on the left

and look strategically balanced if i get it on the right

p.s. i'm an overthinker.. obviously

oh, I got it done in some chemist called ' Blooms the Chemist' down in Westpoint, Blacktown.

yeah the $30 did include the jewellery, but they didn't use a nose stud.......instead they used those small ear studs, which I had to wear for 2 weeks. I changed it afterwards tho.

with the $30.... they also gave me a spray, which I had to use for about 4 weeks or so :uhhuh:

and they used a gun. I heard that the needles aren't that safe or something :/

Re: Piercings and Tats

um, its heaps better to use a needle than a gun .. the needle pierces it, the gun pretty much just works like a hole-puncher with a blunt earring. not cool.

LoL...I've thought about my tongue ring for so long that i know the exact position i want it in... ^^;;

You do have a point with the topple over thought though...
And i have to say that i have never heard of the sexual connotations for nose piercings either and my best friend has been talking about getting hers done for quite awhile.

I know that there are sexual connotations for a tongue ring...but nose?
