Tattoos
#48
I know how you fell about wanting to pick the right tattoo and putting it in the right place. My first tattoo was on my left arm. I knew round about what I wanted but I started off with a cross that took two years to decide on what type and shape of cross I wanted. Then I had to pic out what style lettering and size because I got this for my unlce who passed away. All in all it took me 3 1/2 years to get this thing finished.
My second tattoo on the other hand just came to me one day and I drew it up. It has alot of meaning to me because my cousin and I both got it at the same time. We both got it on our chest mine on the right his on the left because when you see us that is ususally how we stand next to each other. We got Family Blood is thicker than water.
My advise is if you are skinny like me stay away from chest and back because they tend to hurt more when you can feel the needle hitting the bone.

I have 2 tattoos total, but have been in for at least 4 sessions I can recall. I have not been happy with any of my experiences and wish I would have never gotten any in the first place.
The big one on my back lost color after about a year, and when I went to get it touched up by a different artist, he told me it failed to hold color because the tat was applied too deep, and instead of a tattoo on skin, I now have scar tissue there that struggles to hold on to any color at all.
The star on my right arm is not proportional at all, and the shop refuses to correct it without me paying for it. It was the artists' mistake, so he should fix it, right?
I guess there's a lesson to be learned from my experiences though. Always make sure you know 100% what you want and where you want it, then do tons and tons of research before committing to a particular tattoo shop.
