Why would you risk any of it? you can travel and still have a tattoo… just put the money you have saved for the tattoo away somewhere. To be honest if you’re going travelling this will more than likely help with your tattooing aspirations. A lot of things change in your perception once you begin to experience the world…

I do appreciate that the tattoo will de-shape if I loose significant weight. But for one reason or another, I may not be able to get the tattoo once I loose weight (travel reasons ect)

I’m willing to risk the small section of my spine, rather than something like a thigh or belly.

Of all the places on the body, bar the foot, I think the spine is the place where skin size changes would happen the least. But yeah no way am I saying they wouldn’t happen. But yeah, I dunno if I will loose weight for sure. Also the layer of fat might make the tattoo less painful (that’s what others have said).

So blowout, does it happen less if…[Read more]

So, if I went to the tattoo place I posted would I ask for Pablo jar?

Craaaaap I might actually be starting to listen to all of you. This is very rare…

I guess I might be underthinking this because

a) almost no other body parts are available because I plan significant weight loss. So stomach, other areas of the back, arms, legs (and thighs unfortunately) are out.
b) I’m already okay with stuff being on my body…[Read more]

Wow….yeah. This is why I’m getting plain text. I know I’ll want it forever. If anything else I’d maybe get something over my stretchmarks or scars. But when it comes to tattoos loads of things come into play; pregnancy, relationships, weight loss, lots of things. So as you said stubborn 18 year old. I’m getting this tattoo.

My cousin is saying…[Read more]

Okay thank you. I’m not sure Buttwheat approves of my tattoo choice given his previous post, but recommendations on the place would still be appreciated from anyone since I have little experience when it comes to tattoos

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kaya-Tattoo-Studio/165755490133153?sk=info&tab=overview is this place okay?

I’m a fantasy writer, so anything old english is irresistible to me but I see your point. Would times new roman be okay? (or something very similar)

And yeah I’m not really considering lasering. Just trying to…cover all my options? I don’t know but there’s no where I’d want this other than my spine. And nothing I’d want on my body forever than…[Read more]

There are some really good artists up and around Scotland, you just need to look for them. You need a steady hand and a good eye, you also need to consider the natural curvature of your back which could make script appear wonky. You say you’re saving for a car so you probably wont get another tattoo, but judging by your…

It’s not about other people being offended. No one cares about that. I can’t see the picture you have posted but judging by all the comments so far it would seem you are proposing a column of text, specifically one or more of the psalms from the bible, in the middle of your back down your spine.

My opinion, (but only…

I hope your pious and well mannered. I purposely don’t get religious tattoos and def not bumper stickers, cause I’m a bitch and I don’t want to represent my faith negatively.

Pious? Ehh in a sense. I’m sure we can have a religious debate somewhere else on the forum if you’re interested. As for well mannered. Most of the time…[Read more]

Your artist is going to have to be really good, I mean REALLY good to execute this well. That is a lot of characters and they (and the spacing) are going to have to be neat, even, straight and consistant or it is going to be a mess. Good luck with that.

Well, I guess that wasn’t very encouraging.

Lemme barf in my mouth a little cause I don’t like your tattoo… Fuck everyone else. Get what you want. Although you could be a little more creative.

Thanks. I’ve thought about this a lot (9 months +). I do have a low pain threshold so it’s gonna hurt a lot, and this is the only thing worth the pain.

I do get the whole…[Read more]

Nah, excess of £100

So it’ll probably be £60 an hour, and 2-3 hours means £120 or £180 ($190 or $280)

Welcome to the forum.

Why in the world would you want a tattoo such as this?

Are you going to recite all those verses standing there facing away from the person asking about them?

The tattoo isn’t really for other people, that’s why I’m getting it on my spine. No one is really gonna see my spine. So I’m not imagining many…[Read more]

From my experience the areas with more meat aren’t so bad. But again everyone is different but you can do it! Will be worth it and regardless of the pain im sure u will want more once you get one!

Thank you!

Thank you! I keep on trying to remind myself of that. I am quite fat so I have a considerable layer of fat between my spine bone and skin. Do you think that would make a difference?
