    my best friend is a tat artist, and when she does feet and wrists and other tender spots, she gives her clients the option of numbing cream, u can even buy it yourself at the drug store, she put it on about 45 minutes prior. Seriously works, I have an extensive tat done on my back that took 7 hours to do, but I found it really painful when she was doing the sides almost to the tummy area, this stuff was amazing, I actually fell asleep on the table while she finished!

    I didn't use any numbing cream, but I still found it relaxing enough to almost fall asleep. I guess maybe I'm weird that way :blushing:

    Yea no numbing cream here either! :laugh: I've sat through 2 5hr sessions and didn't mind them. One would've been 7hrs but my artist wanted to go pack for his vacation. :grumble: :laugh:

    I have two...one is an angel on my right shoulder and the other is my tramp stamp. (They are in my av, even though it's a small pic) Next, I want to get my cat's paws on either the inside of one of my wrists or on one of my feet.

    Any ideas how to actually be able to get the design of her paws? I have trouble getting her to sit still.

    ink her paw with a stamp pad and lay out paper for her to walk on?

    I have one on the right side of my upper back. It's the Claddagh symbol in black with a green filled heart. And the word sisters in Gaelic underneath.

    I got it last summer with my two younger sisters.

    I don't think there's a too old age for them at all! My mom got her first one when she was like 56-ish. My mom, my sister and I all got matching stars on our ankles. Now she wants more! :bigsmile:

    Kerri, I just want to say that you & your fiance look really happy in that pic! I've seen some pics and I think "they're getting married?" They don't even look like they like each other.
    I hope you have the happiest of marriages!

    Tattoos- I have 3, heart with DH's name, lizard and a cresent moon with a lady.

    I have my initial on my lower abdomen, don't like it anymore as I picked a bad location and when I gained weight, a big stretch mark ran through it making it ugly. :frown: maybe at goal weight I will have it re-done to disguise it as something new- the shape lends itself to a butterfly- like as in transformation? IDK. maybe-

    I'd LOOOOVE to get a four leaf clover on the inside of my left wrist, but I'm afraid of:
    1. the pain of that location ( I heard it throbs and hurts badly)
    2. judgment from others over a visible tattoo. (school teacher)
    :ohwell:

    I have a breast cancer Pink Ribbon above my left ankle - needs to be redone when I got it I was too close to having had chemo and my body didn't like it so some of the ink is gone but I've been scared to redo it - but the numbing cream would be the ticket.

    My hubby has a pink ribbon on his arm with my initials under it - I :heart: his tat!

    Cool thread!

    I have one that I got when I was 16. It is under my right breast and is the japenese symbol for "bad".:smokin: It has faded a lot and since it wasn't done professionally it is not smooth but raised instead. But I still like it.

    One of my reward when I get to my goal weight is to get a tatoo that I will add to in order to mark significant evets in my life. I'm not sure yet where to put it so suggestions are welcome but basically it fancy font this is what it will say:

    I Am. (Maple Leaf for being Canadia).

    Then every once in a while I will add a new word like:

    Strong (to signify my fitness goals)
    Loved (to signify my marriage)
    ... etc

    I figure each word will be in a different font.

    what do you think?

    I also have a lot of piercings. Anyone else have any?

    It's on my left shoulder. I can only see it when looking over my shoulder in a mirror so I forget it's there. It's so tiny anyhow, roughly the size of a quarter. Eh, maybe between a quarter and half dollar in size. Pretty small.

    Eventually, I want a phoenix to fly over it. Symbolic to me.
