My daughter was with me yesterday and is begging for her 1st but I told her its not happening yet. I told her she has to want the same design for a yr before I will agree.

anytime, sexy :)

ETA: Good idea, Nika...

although I love all my tats (except one... I like happy, friendly dragons, and this one came out mean and evil). But there are a couple I wish I'd given more thought to (either the actual design, or placement)

That's probably not a bad idea. How old is the spawn? (I'm assuming under 18, since she's having to get an OK to get it done.)

With most of my designs, I had the ideas in mind for YEARS. Granted, some elements have changed as time went on, various things happened, life progressed..... but the basic concept has remained the same.

The really "bad" one (depending on how you look at it LoL) is the full back piece I have planned. The design concept has been pretty much set in stone for 8 years now, to honor 2 of my totems, but it's gonna be horrifically long in the chair - probably 5 or 6 trips to get all of it finished - and way expensive (which is why I'm getting my sleeve finished First lol - at least the sleeve I can have done a little bit at a time, and not have to come up with a huge chunk of money all at once!)

Speaking of kanji saying inappropriate things, many years back when my mother wanted to buy a hanko (sort of an engraved signature stamp) she went to find one that would work for our last name, which is Goramu when japanicized. She saw one she really liked, but the guy selling the hanko wouldn't sell it to her no matter what she offered....because it translated as "five lewd dreams".

Which hurts the most, nipple piercings or tattoo on the shoulder blade.

Anerin,

They're really two different kinds of pain... The piercing is pretty quick, and then a dull throb sometimes while it heals. Tatttoing is like scraping a fork tine over your skin, with pressure, over and over again -- it burn/sting/hurts and can get really intense, especially if the artist is working in an area recently worked (like doing shading of color-over-color or working on small, intricate areas).

Tattooing also has some lasting irritations during healing which are different from piercing. First, a tatt usually covers a lot more area of flesh. Mine don't usually -hurt- per se, once I leave the studio. I can put a shirt or pants on, etc., (except foot tattoos -- the one foot tatt I had I couldn't wear shoes for 2 weeks!!!), and the ones on my back are usually no problem to sleep on, etc.,... BUT... about the 2nd day, the itching starts, and, for me, it lasts for about 8 days and is RELENTLESS no matter how much aftercare I do. Oh.. and don't pick the scabs -- I can't stress that enough. My daughter ended up with some really noticeable "holidays" (areas where the ink/dye doesn't take) because she picked at the scabs/loose skin on one of her tats -- she learned the hard way.

I'm in the middle of having 4 different pieces worked on, and I'm going in every week and having a different piece done (so that each piece gets worked on every 4 weeks).

Hope this helps... oh...and congrats to the OP -- very cool tatt.

DC
