Hi I saw this forum and thought I would join.

I got my first tattoo in December 2007 after secretly wanting one for years but was too scared of the pain and also what my mum would say lol even though I was 33 at the time :p

I got my daughters name on the inside of my right wrist, with a pink crown depicting princess (I call her my little princess) and a blue star as I had a m/c so the star depicts the lost one, which I always believed to be a boy.

It only took about 15-20 minutes and I didn’t think it hurt at all, nothing what I thought having a tattoo would be like. It was more uncomfortable! I can now totally see how people get addicted.

I am desperate for another one but am not 100% sure where .. I don’t want it somewhere it shows and am reaching the decision to have one on my foot – I want to have stars depicting my family.

I have heard it does hurt on foot from some, and not others but I guess everyone’s pain barrier is different!

Husband wants one but is too scared (the baby) so I just keep trying to persuade him it will be fine so we are looking at ideas for him.

Am off to look at some of your photos now!
