This isnt for me to start off…
Trying to show some friends what could go wrong.
The person giving the tattoos has not been apprenticed, has not gone to any sort of tattoo art school, and is ordering a tattoo kit from the internet.

please post only if you’re being serious.
thanks in advance.

I’m not against tattoos, but I told him to get something meaningful, not something stupid. He’s getting tats of an AK47, a magnum, a rose dripping blood, and the name of his high school “crew”. These are completely meaningless to him, he’s only getting it because he thinks its “cool”!!! He’s not even a “gangster” or a “thug” he’s a wannabe, he just wants the attention!

Hey. I plan on getting my first tattoo soon and am very excited and a little nervous. What should I expect when getting my tattoo? What should I do before? What is it like, your opinion? What about aftercare tips? I dance (ballet and jazz dance) and sweat, is that okay for my new tattoo? Will it hurt the tat, like fade the color or make it blurry? Any insights or helpful tips would be great. Thanks.

I have a Big Backpiece Tattoo already and was wondering if a Tattoo across my collar bone would hurt bad!?
I already have a whole back piece, koi fish and a phoenix, but im curious to see how a tattoo would feel right under your collar bone across your chest. I was planning to get my kids names.

I am thinking about getting butterflies tattoed up my spine, I am just wondering what the risks of this are of getting a tattoo there, or for the matter a tattoo anywhere. I am also wondering if people think this is a good place to get it, I saw a really pretty picture once while looking for tattoo ideas online. I would also like to dedicate them each to a person who has been important to me so far in my life. If you think butterflies aren’t the best choice please do speak up.. and also.. are there any ways you can almost, test how much you would like the idea, to kinda try out the tattoo before you get it?
I am aware of the amount of pain, I understand that getting a tattoo in a particulary “boney” area is much more painful that somewhere where there is more skin.

I am getting two tattoos to represent each of my children. I want something completely unique (no names, birthdays, hand or foot prints, etc). What is the best advice that you can give to help me pick a unique and meaningful tattoo for my boys? I will probably design it myself and have someone draw it, but I just can’t think of the best way to represent them without having a tattoo that everybody else has. Thanks!

I’m getting a tattoo soon, and I am positive that I want one. The only thing I’m worried about is getting hepatitis- a blood disease that I’ve heard could be easily passed along when getting a tattoo- much easier to get than AIDS. I’m very, very nervous about this.

Does anyone know what the chances are of getting hepatitis from a tattoo? Do you know anyone who’s gotten it from a tattoo? Or maybe you did? I just need all the information i can get about hepatitis, how it is contracted, etc. The place I’m going for my tattoo says that the tattoo artists have been vaccinated with hepatitis A and B shots. So that being said, how much of a chance is there? And isn’t there a hepatitis C?
