I want to get a celtic design on my lower back and hubby is okay with it.(Actually, VERY okay with it! lol Men!) I just have to completely finish covincing myself that this is something I can live with! LOL I am almost positive that I want one, I just haven't found one that I can DEFINITELY say that I want. Know of any good tat websites that show designs?
When my daughter was in her early 20's she really wanted a tattoo. She went ahead and got one that was actually quite pretty that went around her leg just above the ankle. It was water with dolphins jumping with the sun on the horizon.
She hit her 30's and decided that she was sorry that she had gotten it. She may not feel that way if it had been in a place that was easier to conceal but it isn't when she is dressed up in heels & stockings. So far she has paid three times the money she paid to get it having 2 laser treatments to have it removed. And since hers is mostly color and not black it will take at least a couple more treatments before it is gone. And she says the pain of the actual laser treatment and the pain during the healing after it are many times worse than what she experienced having the tattoo. I was surprised to hear that black ink is the easiest to remove and the colors are really hard.
My word of advice is make sure it is something you want for the rest of your life. If you have any doubts whatsoever don't get one.
I had a barb wire tat put around my left bicep when I was 18. It was a breeze. Later on, after getting married I decided to get a tribal design on my right bicep. I was so manly about it...telling Carolyn that it wouldn't hurt at all......SOOOOO macho.....well....I started hyper-ventilating and nearly passed out from pain when I got it. I was pale as a ghost. It was SO not the 'manly-I-can-take-the-pain' experience I wanted to display to my wife...lol.
