Hi everyone! My name is Emily and currently I am ink free! I am 24, married, and from an ink free family. I am in a bit of a quandry. There is a tattoo that I want, but I am really freaked out that it might go wrong or something. Plus, it’s there forever! Do any of you regret getting your tattoos? The one I want is (girly, I know) a butterfly with the breast cancer ribbon inbetween the wings (my mum is terminally ill with breast cancer and it would be like a tribute to her). This may sound flaky to you, but I just want to hear other people’s thoughts! It would only be a small one and I would get it done on my hip or somewhere where it wouldn’t be on display all the time; a bit more personal. The other thing is that my husband isn’t keen on the idea! He did say ‘It’s your body, do what you want’ but I don’t want him to hate it!! Advice?!
I’m with buttwheat.
Go to a truly good artist and you won’t have to worry about whether or not he or she is going to screw it up. We can help you if you tell us where you live and/or post links to the online portfolios of the artists you are considering.
I do somewhat regret my 1st tat, but only because it now limits what else I put there. 😀
Welcome to the forum. You should get the tattoo, but make sure you do your research and find a good tattoo artist. When you go to a tattoo shop, review portfolios and pick the artist that you dig the most. Don’t settle for whoever is available. Even though it’s a small design, the hip is very difficult to tattoo and requires solid technique.
I got my first tattoo for the same reason as you,I was also the first in the family to get one. Since then ive had three more and booked in for another, also brother and sister in law have got tattoos done.
It was a big step for me but something ill never regret and look forward to getting more as is the rest of the family 🙂
As the others say, pick your artist well and it will end up something your proud of.
Welcome to the forum, and truly sorry to hear about your mother.
Unless your friend is a very good tattoo artist, be aware that the tattoo artist will most likely need to change your design (slightly, and for the better) to turn it into a tattoo.
As the others have said, tell us where you’re located and perhaps the people here can direct you to a good artist so that you will be sure to get the best possible tattoo you can get.
No, she’s a graphic designer! I was too full of cold to see her anyway. I know what I want (seen different parts in different places) it’s just a case of getting someone to put it together for me! I don’t want to bother a tattoo artist right now as I just want to see what the design would look like, then I can really consider it. Just need someone to make it for me 🙂
