Any Tips For Someone Who Plans To Get Their First Tattoo?

10 Comments 08 February 2010

I want to get a small bumble bee, like the kind on Winnie the Pooh that’s got some color to it. Any ideas on where on my body to actually put this?
Also, I lost a lot of weight over a year ago, but I’m left with some faint stretch marks. They’re no longer pink but they’re silvery white, but will that mess up the tattoo?
Also how painful will it be?
Sorry for so many questions!

    that would be so cute on your shoulder blade…
    stretch marks shouldnt effect it at all… congrats on the weight loss (battling that myself)
    as far as the pain it varies from person to person depending on their tollerance for pain… usualy it sucks at first but then you kind of numb out and its more of an annoyance and its irritating to have to sit still.
    love the tat idea very cute.

    Search around. Go to the local tattoo shops in your area, check the place out to see if it’s clean, most have books with pictures of their work in it so you can get good feel of how well trained they are. I don’t have any tattoo’s at the moment but I am planning on getting one at some point. As far as pain goes, everyone is different. Depends on your pain tolerance. I’ve *heard* that it feels like a cat scratch, or having a sunburn and taking your finger nail across it. Sounds painful. But again…I wouldn’t know.

    Don’t do it as you grow older, you will be sorry. You are perfect the way you are.

    placement is up to you, something that small I would get on my ankle, it doesn’t hurt it feels like a cat scratch after about an hour you go numb, you would be in that long something like that isn’t to detailed, find someone that makes you feel comfortable when you get it, trust me that helps I love my tattoo artist I won’t go to anyone else and I have about 22-23 hours on my arm alone. So yea I spend alot of time with him

    on your top upper right or left side on your back just about 2 1/2 or 3 inches away from your shoulder

    Don’t get one on your hip. (It fades veryyy quickly)
    I would suggest somewhere you can hide it. Most jobs don’t accept people with visible tattoos.
    So maybe on your upper or lower back. Maybe a shoulder?
    The pain: Some people think it feels like a razor cutting. But usually for smaller tattoos it feels like a bunch of bees stinging you or just needles stabbing you very fast.
    Most people don’t cry so it shouldn’t be that bad. (:
    Good luck to you.
