Hey ladies!!
I just want to know ya'll opinion about tattoes. I want to get one where my back ends, but my husband thinks I am crazy. He doesn't have any, neither do I, but I would love to. Mom says I will never be able to donate blood if a want to.
Does any of you ladies have tattoes? Do ya'll regret having one?

I love tattoos!! I have 2, one on my ankle and one on my lower back. I just wanted to warn you that the lower back IMO is painful. The one on my ankle didn't hurt me at all, but I had to take a break during the one on my lower back. The tattoo artist said that it was because I was so small and all of the nerve endings are there....I don't know about that, but I do know that it was pretty painful.

Good luck! I know that you'll love it. I don't regret mine at all!!

Really the one on your ankle didn't hurt? I almost passed out when they did mine. The lower back hurt too but no way near as much as the ankle. The upper back was the one that didn't hurt at all. Well can't say it didn't hurt at all, but after it went numb,, it didn't bother as much as the other 2 did.

I absolutely love mine. I have seven (7) tattoos. I have one on my lower back also and that one did hurt more so than the rest of them but it is a lot bigger than the others. I must warn you though, before you make the decision to get a tattoo just know that they are very addictive. I don't know anyone that is satisfied with just one. "That's how I ended up with seven"

. Also, whatever you decide to get make sure that it is something that has meaning to you because once you get it you are stuck with it for the rest of your life.

Have fun!!!

SilverStarShado · 12-22-2005, 03:34 PM

I also have three....back of right shoulder, on the leg and on my lower back. The one on the lower back hurt IMO...and everyone is right, they are addictive.

I have 2 tattoo's...I am now 43 a grandma to 3.75 wee ones
and I have never once regreted getting the ones I have. I
took my time and thought up things though that had and
would always have meaning in my life. If it's your thing it's
your thing and if it's not it's not. If this is something you
truly want and have thought about it then I say go for it!

hzlis · 12-22-2005, 07:36 PM

I also have a tattoo. Just one at this time. I have been wanting another in a very bad way for a very long time. My second husband says that I can't get another one but I will anyways. Just haven't had the time to get it. I live in Oklahoma and it still isn't legal here. And I haven't been out of this crazy state in a while. But I agree, they are addictive. Mine is on my ankle and before I went in I talked to the artist in length on the phone. I expressed my apprehension about the pain. I knew you couldn't come in drunk....due to possibility of excess and prolonged bleeding. I asked about taking a Valium and Demerol and he said that if I did that before I came in and signed my waiver and acted normal then "he knew nothing about it" and that is exactly what I did. It was just fine. Took my own headphones and cranked that music up to drown out the wonderful sound. They play their own unique style of music and I was afraid that it would annoy me to no end if I had to listen to it the entire time. Mine took 45 mins and they actually had to tap me to tell me when I was done. I love mine although I do need to get it touched up. I followed the instructions at first (avoid too much exposure to sun) but have been a slacker lately. Good luck with it and enjoy!!!

Lucky's Mom · 12-22-2005, 08:15 PM

I have 1 on my lower back. IMO it didn't hurt really at all. The part that got me was when I stood up, I almost passed out! Because I had been hunched over for like 45 min! But I love mine so much & I have had it for 3 1/2 years. I want to get another so bad, but can't decide what I want. They are addicting!!

Latuya · 12-22-2005, 09:25 PM

Lets see pictures ladies! Here are mine. My first one was on my upper back, 3 butterflies for my 3 babies. My nana used to tell us that we were her beautiful butterflies. Everytime I see them I think of her and how she would have adored my babies. 2nd one was on my lower back, 3 red roses also for my babies. I love red roses! And the ankle, also 3 roses.

HAHA! Hilarious

I have 6 tattoos and love them all. They each have significant meaning and that is the most important. I think too many people get one too quick without thinking about it and then grow to regret it after the initial excitement wears off!
