Go for it.
Just…don’t rush the decision.
Don’t get a tattoo because you “want a tatoo.”
Think it out and get something special.

Swimming is fine.

But make sure to put some waterproof sunblock on!
Especially now…
The tattoo hasn’t set in completely until around 3 months…

Or so I’ve read.

Personally…
I’d never get a tattoo off of an artist’s wall or off of an online page.

Go for some originality!

Think of a theme that you want your tattoo to represent…
Or an idea that you want pictured across your body…
Post it here, or talk to your artist about it.
They’ll definitely be happy to throw around some ideas with you.

I’ve actually thought about this myself…
How ten varied tattoos become incorporated into a whole design without seeming to be mushed together.

Some things I’ve seen are simply placing the stencil:
But not coloring any part of the area that overlaps previously tattooed area.
Like…missing the tips of a birds wing in order to make it fit.

I assume the bird is the new part?
Man…

Sounds like an amazing theme to stick to for your tattoos…
I’m not %100 sure of the symbolism on the “seize the day” one, however.
The skull wouldn’t really match the others anyway, if you ask me.

It hurts A LOT less than you’d expect.

I’d describe it as…
Run your nail over a spot on your arm as though you had a bad itch.
Do this for about a minute.
It’ll start to burn…just a little.

I actually don’t take pain very well for the most part…
But I love the feeling of being tattooed for some reason.

A portrait?
(So cliche if you ask me)

What did he pride himself on?

Major hobbies?

Did he simply have a tattoo that you can emulate?

Was he any kind of war veteran?

I am currently 18 and I got my first tattoo on April first of this year.
I have this…

And it symbolizes rising above the negative influences of humanity in a peaceful manner.
I got this to remind myself of my current moral code…and to always abide by my personal rules.

I then got a UV ring tattoo on my wedding band finger that…[Read more]
