Hi everyone,

Im thinking about getting ym first tattoo and aside from all the usual worries over pain and do i really want it there for the rest of my life sort of thinking, im worried more about the design i have in mind, despite the fact that im totally terrified from needles!! 🙁

My idea is to have a wrist tattoo, i want it in the inside of my right wrist, i plan for it to be around 5/6 inches long so the tattooist can get the detailing in and so the detail can be seen. The design is a wing, yes just one, in black with shading. It is a long ish wing with a sort of ribbon running over and twisting through it. My question is do you think it would look weird if i just had one wing? i dont want two on the same arm because, there isnt enough room. So was thinking maybe one on each arm, same size and same place so that if i put my wrists together, the pair of wings could be seen? Ive thought about putting them elsewhere like on my back but, i dont want to be like everyone else. I dont mean that in a bad way but there are loads of people with wings on there back, i want to be different.

Another suggestion is for a second tattoo is a small space cadet sort of cartoon character on my right hip, well more like below my hip and over towards my left side a bit. The problem with this one is i cant seem to find any sort of designs? Had any of you had this type of tattoo done? Also who would i go about getting a design maybe drawn up for me? Im hopeless at drawing so cant even put my idea down onto paper.

Hope some of you can help 🙂

If you like it, do it. As for needles, When I took my army physical they drew my blood, and I about went bonkers. Getting a tattoo, on the other hand, isn’t anything like that. I see it as simply roughing skin up, rather than going in. I even watched for a few minutes on my first one. Itll all be pretty slick for ya.

Some people have absolutely retatrded ideas and make them awesome. Ive heard of getting CUPCAKES tattooed, and thought it was insanley retarded. Then I saw a picture of one a really good artist did and was corrected. SO, spend the extra money, get a real good artist to do it. And I would also recommend getting two on either arm raher than just one.

It hurts for sure,but its worthy. The needles are scary but i personally watch the process and when its on the arm its really cool. The other spots are more painful.
