Tattoos

I have 4. A fairy on my lower back (tramp stamp as it is so affectionately called), however it is big and goes across my whole lower back, hip to hip. I have a star on my wrist, and clusters of stars on each of my hips.

the back did not hurt very much, the hips were HORRIBLE but that is because i was very thin back then (when i was 18) and the wrist hurt but it only took about 5 minutes so it wasn't too bad!

i got all of mine done by Mo Malone at Iron Age tattoo in STL. However, she has since departed and is working at a shop in San Antonio Texas! If any of you live there and have the opportunity to work with her, she is fabulous!

I have 7 tattoos in all.

I have a tribal symbol for "soul" in the middle of my back, just under the base of my neck. Pain factor - 3 out of 10

My son's initials on my right wrist. Pain factor - 3 out of 10.

A girly skull with a ribbon on the left side of my back (my sister and I have this matching tattoo, although she had hers done on her hip. When she got preggos... it spread and it looked like a bat Pain factor - 4 out of 10. Plus, some crazy endorphins and adrenaline hit me all at once while getting it done and I could notttt stop giggling the whole time lol.

Hummingbird on my right side ribs. Pain factor - 12 out of 10! HOLY HELL, this was painful. It literally felt like someone was dragging a hot needle over and over on my skin, trying to cut if out.

Orchids around the hummingbird. Pain factor - 15 out of 10! Got this done about a year after the hummingbird and it hurt like you would nottt believe.

Three stars behind my left ear. Pain factor - 6 out of 10. Not too bad; it just felt like someone was constantly tapping on my skull

A pink bow just under my left clavicle. Pain factor - 8 out of 10. Need to get this one fixed since the guy totally scr*wed it up

As crazy as it sounds, I'm going back to get my ribs finished up and more than likely, a foot tattoo. I would love a half or quarter sleeve in the future (my husband has a full sleeve on his left arm and a quarter on his right arm) but I work in a corporate America so I'm sure that won't be possible till like, hm-- retirement?

Good luck on yours!

I personally haven't got any tattoo's although I do like the look of them. I often ponder getting a small one myself maybe, - just a little scared. I don't like needles or anything like that.....ughh!. An ex boyfriend from many years ago, used to have them and i thought they looked fab. It just depends what they depict and where they're placed, I suppose. :happy:

A friend of mine has recenty got the letter V tattooed onto her wrist in the same shade of Red so it looks exact. Looks really good. She had it done as she loves watching V-2009.

this wont help much, especially compared to how much everyone else has! I have one on my hip that took a little over an hour, and the pain really wasn't bad at all, uncomfortable, but not painful, I was talking to my friends and the artist the whole time....the shading hurt a little bit, but nothing terrible...the worst part is they tattoo a little bit, then wipe it, then put the needle right where they wiped....after an hour of needles and wiping raw skin, that was annoying. I had just turned 18 at the time and i've been dying to go again since! Just need to figure out what i'd get and where, and i'll be going for another/

I have 4 Tattoo's the first I had done was on my lower back and pain on that was 3/10 2nd is on my foot pain on that was about 5/10 but I had to have it redone as it faded and the pain on the touch up was 15/10. I have one on the inside of my arm it is a pheonix as below pain 2/10

and my back peice which is a work in progress below pain 4-7/10

I have a back piece. Its a tree. The trunk is up my spine starting at the bottom of my shoulder blades and the leaves go up to the base of my neck. It wasnt too bad pain wise at all. There were spots at the bottom of the trunk that really hurt but it only lasted a few seconds. You get that endorphin rush from the pain that sort of numbs it anyways. I have another small one on my wrist and it didnt hurt at all. Getting a new one on collar bone Saturday. This one Im worried about. I think its gonna really hurt! haha

I've only got the one in my picture, but I have a LOT more planned. To me, it was hardly painful, I don't know if that is just because of the place I got it, but I have a pretty high pain tolerance anyway. If I'm honest for most of it I found it pretty ticklish, and the only bit that was uncomfortable was on my collarbone.

I have one on my wrist, but it didn't really hurt. Just a slight sting. Now my nose piercing, that hurt! Made my eyes water and everything.

I have seven tattoos and one still in progress. Locations: lower back, inner left wrist, left foot, outer right thigh, left side/hip, right shoulder/back, chest, and left shoulder/back in progress. Honestly everybody has a different pain tolerance and my most painful tattoo was the lower back. The second most painful would be any tat on my back that was near/on the spine. It sounds like you're getting alot of work done and will probably get it done in separate sessions. A good tattoo is not cheap, so take your time, find an awesome artist, take care of your tats and I'm sure it's gonna look bad *kitten*!! Good luck and post a pic up when you get any work done

how do you post pics here?
