Thinking of Getting a Tattoo

[quote=caucheka]haha. ok here, if you want to get a tatoo, take the design you want and pin it on your wall. if in a year you still want it, get it.[/quote]

[quote=Bloofyre]well... it may be an issue since it would be your first tat... but I personally would suggest your side. right over the ribs area. but its so tender... not a very smart area as a first tattoo placement. but not considering anything my placement suggestions would be: ribs right above the bicep kind of swimming up towards your neck/over your shoulder (following with the waterfall theme) forearm its always best to consult with your artist first though... since hes the one who is gonna hook it up with a sketch anyways, may as well get his professional opinion on where it would fit best on your body.

[/quote] that, is actually not what you want to do. That is what a mom says to their kid. that is also how girls decide if they want that butterfly tattoo on their lower back. He is a dude, he can make fine judgement calls on his own without having to take mothers hesitant route[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]If it's anything in a different language, make sure you know what it says before you get it. Shin is a nice place for it IMO. Won't change much with age.[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]...Shin...lol.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Shin, lower leg same thing. I have a... rather large friend... who is getting a wraparound tattoo on his leg. He's just graduating from HS. It's a badass dragon.[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]...T_T I know what a shin is lol I'm saying shin would be a horrible idea for this kind of tattoo imo :P[/quote]

[quote=Canoas]@Bloofyre You have hemophilia and you want to get a tattoo? Is that even allowed? also, [quote]He is a dude, he can make fine judgement calls on his own without having to take mothers hesitant route[/quote] He is asking on a forum for other people's opinion. If he was sure about what he wanted he wouldn't be asking, would he?[/quote]

(think past the 3 layers of skin; Epidermis, Dermis, and Hypodermis for anyone who didnt know) also, the tattoo gun barely goes into your skin (only into the Dermis layer which is what makes it permanent, since the epidermis is constantly repairing itself). it doesn't penetrate nearly far enough to draw blood (i think 1/16 to 3/32 is pretty standard) (although in some cases there is a bit of blood during tattooing) Its all soft tissue when it comes to tattoos, its not like they are putting me through football practice or something, where i could get hurt real bad internally. He did come to a forum, at the end of the day though, its him. not what we say, not what the artist says, not what his parents say. He is the final word. EDIT: also touching on the hemophilia concern, if you factor up the day before you get the tattoo and about 6 hours before, your factor levels should be that of a normal persons if not higher, so just make sure to take care of yourself that way it wont heal all weird.[/quote]
