I’m happy that you love it and you will love your next just as much. Stick around here and learn about what makes great tattoos and how to pick a tattooist. Oh and congrats on the first being on the ribs it should all be easy from now on.

Nice under boob shot BTW 😉

People here definitely are pretty blunt, but (from what I can tell), it’s just because they like good art. Anyway, I’d rather for people to not like my tattoo and tell me than not like my tattoo and not tell me. I’m not particularly offended because I like it and it’s on my body, but that doesn’t mean other people can’t have opinions on it. I…[Read more]

No one’s killing my excitement! I assumed that people here would think it was boring, but I love it and it represents a lot to me. I wanted something simple for my first, and I did consider whether it would screw me up adding down my side, but I decided I don’t really think I’ll go down that side anyway.

Personally, I love the simplicity of it,…[Read more]

Here’s one further back.

Thanks, everyone! I took all your advice, and it went very well. Pain was 100% manageable the entire time. Pics to come!

No, I know what I’m getting for this one, and I know my artist is good. But I know I want a different artist for my next one, and I’m just starting to think about it now.

A backwards zip up is a really smart idea. I wouldn’t have thought of that!

That sounds like my best option. I should be able to work without one. It’ll just take some creativity and layering.

I think it should cost around $120, but I’m not sure how much standard tipping is.

Thank you! I will!

Oh, awesome. My friend told me to wear “sticky boobs”, which is like an adhesive bra, when I get it, but it’s awkward and uncomfortable, and I’d honestly just rather not be covered than deal with that.

Thanks for the advice!

I don’t really care about it for myself. I just didn’t know if artists generally preferred that you keep your boobs and such covered.

I definitely love my design, though she’s tweaking it. I’ll make sure to let her know if there’s anything I don’t like about it before I let her put it on me forever.

Most of the information I have from them is from actually going in, but she did tell me that she’ll give me aftercare instructions after the tattoo. What should the aftercare be like?

That makes sense. I’m trying to figure out my coverage options.

It should be pretty quick. I’m fully aware that it’ll hurt, and I’m a little worried about it.

Thanks! What do I wear for actually getting the tattoo, since it’s in such a weird place?

I love that! It looks gorgeous!

Here’s a link to my artist’s portfolio: Flesh Tattoo Company :: Fallston, Maryland 21047
I chose her based on several factors, but one of the biggest for me was how beautifully she did my friend’s second tattoo.
