I got my first tattoo on my lower back. it took 2 hours and I can honestly say it was almost pain free. My next tattoo i got on the inside of my wrist. This took half an hour and was quite painful. It wasnt unbearable but I definitely felt it a lot more than my back tattoo. Go to someone who has done alot of tattoos in that area. My tattooist absolutely ruined mine and i got quite bad blow out, but (as with all tattoo’s) if you get it done by a good artist it will be fine. good luck with the tattoo,,,,,,,,

Keeping a tat hidden for 2 years must be quite a feat (excuse the pun lol)

I know a lot of people who got drunken tats and luckily theres was not as obscure as that…but they all regretted them almost immediately. Its quite scary how many tattooists dont mind tattooing a drunk person. While your friend was at fault for getting a tat like that…the tattooist was as equaly to blame.

I guess thats a lesson learnt the hard way 🙂

I love the way you think 🙂

I have often though about getting my old 2 covered up. Not because i dont like them…just because i wanted to make them look better and stand out more. After thinking about it for a long time i decided i couldnt do it. It would feel like im wiping a bit of my past away. It all depends on personal choice and you cant live your life thinking “how will this affect me in 10 years’. If you did that…you would never get far

Mines definitely worse than a few days ago but once its healed and settled ill take another look and see what im left with. All the pink ink in the middle has started to blurr now and in some parts its not forming a point at the tip of the stars.

Im really hoping it doesnt happen with the touch up…its made me quite anxious now 😛

wow, i did not know that! I know the wrist isnt prone to calluses but how easy is it to go too deep in that area? Mine was only done 6 days ago so it hasnt healed (or peeled) yet….will my blow out keep expanding or do you think it will just stay how it is? Sorry for all the questions…I hadnt even heard of tattoo’s being able to get blown out until very recently

if you want a really awesome maori tattoo then i would suggest you go to http://www.eurotattoo.co.nz. This is moniques euro tattoo’s and they are an absolutely amazing studio. Im sure she can design some for you to look at. You can also just google maroi designs but you have to be careful you dont use any that other people have as maori tattoo’s are generally chosen by people with some kind of Maori heritage and they all have meaning to certain tribes/families and its not culterally sensitive to use someone elses family designs.

Hope this helps

I had the same thing happen to me 5 days ago. i went to get my second tattoo. i got my first one when i was 16 and love it. it still looks like new in fact. So i went to get a little star on the inside of my wrist. i noticed that while the tat was being done it was bleeding heaps. The cloth he was using to wipe away the ink was almost soaking in blood. The guy seemed really nice and calm and so i thought it might just be the place of the tat. It bled for another hour after it was finished. now im stuck with a star thats got a horrible blow out , the lines are crooked and the whole tattoo is lop sided.

Im now having to spend twice as much getting it touched up once its healed and having to enlarge and add to a tattoo that i chose because it was small and simple.

The only thing i can suggest is going to get it touched up by someone a lot better and hopefully your tattoo will still look good.
