Just one for me so far, a cross between a Celtic knot and tribal heart that I designed. It’s on the back of my left shoulder. I got it about 15 years ago to represent my other half and I. Most of it wasn’t too bad except the shading in a few spots. Not exactly painful, but not real fun either.

It's not finished yet, I still need the part that goes around the back of the leg and some touch ups and it will be finished.

It's my pastel clown.

I haz one. Mines a heart with a semi colon and its on my inner wrist. I got it as away to remind myself that I have a story to tell. As for pain...it didn't really hurt untill the tattoo artist went over my tendons.Even then I would compare it to a cat scratch.

I have 4. This is my left shoulder. I don't have pictures of the others on my back right now.

I'm getting a thigh tattoo next in May! Unfortunately not from Horitomo because I was informed he's no longer taking new clients for the type of tattoo I'd want and it will be up to him to decide whenever he feels like doing so again. I've been on his waiting list for a little over two years now but they did mention no promises, so alas :(


I did however find another artist I really liked to do my thigh tattoo! It will be of a Vietnamese blue beauty ratsnake on my thigh and wrapped around with blue flowers! So I'm totally pumped for it!

ah did they tattoos on the clavicles hurt more? i know peeps have different pain tolerances and reactions to pain, but i found out for me that on the bone hurts more then meaty body parts.

also were u hoping for tebori-style tattoo from Morimoto? that would be so kool! a lil different, but i would love one day to travel back to SE Asia and get a bamboo needle tattoo from a monk like Angelina Jolie.

Compared to my wrists yeah they hurt more, especially when it was closer to bone! Nothing too horrible thankfully but there were a few times I was definitely wincing and thinking ouch, yeah these sting alright!


As for Horitomo I was totally hoping to experience a tebori-style tattoo! I was very curious how that technique would differ and feel like. I admit I'm still bummed out I can't get a tattoo from him any time soon, but I'm hoping maybe one day I'll get a lucky phone call :)

I have a phoenix that runs from my left shoulder, up and over, and across to about mid-chest. Close to the armpit was painful, but the rest was not too bad. I am a somewhat hairy dude and my tattoo artist went through 3 razors to prep the area, teased me and said he should charge me extra just for that.

lol! i would be a good idea for artists to keep clippers for bears like u. clip and then go in w/ a razor.
