My first ever tattoo-and the start of being inked! - Tattoo Forums

So this is my first ever tattoo. I designed it myself and even though it is very simple it has a lot of meaning behind it.

The J stands for Jeanette, my mum who passed away. The F for friends and the S for strength.

The small black star represents all the bad things that have happened, and could happen in my life. However the other three stars overpower it. The basic message being that no matter what happens in my life, these three things will help me through it.

This is getting it, I was so nervous because I thought it would hurt quite a lot. I was surprised at how little it hurt! I still held onto chair though

I was scared I might move

The actual tattoo

Close up

It's now fully healed and I'm pretty happy with it. The first star faded a lot at the bottom and needs a touch up. A lot of the black outline, and all the red at the bottom is gone. And the second star needs a tiny touch up where some blue hasn't stayed. I'm not sure how much its meant to fade...I'll get a recent photo up asap.

I'm now designing my next tattoo. I can't wait to get inked up again. I found the whole thing totally addictive! Only problem is I might run out of room as I want to get them in places where I can easily hide them

the artist should not be using fabric and soft furnishings, it is supposed to be washable and hygienic which that blue cloth is not......
