Re: Thinking about a tattoo...input?
Cool, but then I've heard that lower back is one of the worst spots...
I still want to get a perm. tattoo of a snake, but for now I'm going to find a good BP pic and get it done in henna to see what it would look like. That way, I can see if detail can be put in on that spot and if I like the way it looks and it'll only cost around $10 instead of $200. If I really like it, then I'll finish my research on artists and pick one out for the real deal :)
When I get the henna, I'll take pix to see what you guys think. Keep the stories coming, tho...I really like reading them.
Re: Thinking about a tattoo...input?
I got my first tat down in Miami in the beginning of the summer. It's a tribal design that runs across to top of my back, shoulder blade to shoulder blade. From what I've heard from most people with alot of tats is that the pain depends on the place you get it obviously, but also the artist who's doing it.
Call me a wuss... but after everyone told me, "it just tickles a little," along with a combination of a slight sunburn the first line kinda felt like a razorblade going into my skin and slicing it open. After he started I got used to it, no prob. I was also told that my tat was fairly large for a first. Anyway I would reccomend staying out of the sun for a few days beforehand :D
I haven't had it all that long, but I don't think I'll ever regret it. One of my best friends and I both got similar tats across our back. It will remind me of him as well as my first real vacation(w/ out family). Plus I think it's a bad*** design.
I love when people say, "it's going to look so nasty when your old and wrinkly," honestly, by that time I'm not going to care all that much about what my back looks like with my shirt off.

ya that's my point exactly. some people can tolerate the feeling really well and others can't. i'm friends with our tattoo artist and he does have people who pass out, or just simply can't stand it and leave...
it would, IMO suck to have a partially finished ball python on my ankle/calf.
