I love the idea of the fairies. I reckon a huge, old, rustic looking tree snaking down your arm with the moon and stars in the background and the fairies all over the place around the tree, on the branches and poking their heads out from behind the tree, just me though, good luck, Peace.

Not too bad bro, love the sign, not a tat for me though. Personally i would have got it done in red green and yellow, although you could add those colours in the future, and maybe a big pic of bob marley, the man who truly represents peace and world wide love. As for the hippie comment, i thought that tats were meant to be an expression of who you are and where you are in your life so rep it up and don’t let it faze ya, Peace!

dude numbing creams don’t work, i work in a hospital and they put this shit on kids hands before getting injections and such and they don’t work at all. Valium is a good way to go for relaxing your mind and body before tattoos and it doesn’t make your blood too thin (a lot of people do it), food and drink is a good idea to get your blood sugar levels up if your a fainter. i find that watching my artist do his work helps with the pain as i can anticipate exactly where he is tattooing me and you can’t actually see the needles when the gun is working. i have a fair few tattoos on my arms and one big one on my chest (unfinshed to date), on my arms i used Bepanthen cream which new mums use on their cracked nipples and for nappy rash on the bub this worked pretty good, but on the latest chest tattoo i was recommended paw paw ointment and i have found it healed better and quicker (could be just my new artist though). all tattoos hurt but it’s not an unbearable pain and everyone is different i have found that areas on my body that should of hurt like fuck didn’t, so you’ll just have to go and get started to understand what we are all talking about, all in all it sounds like your worrying a bit too much,

hope this helps good luck with the work, go get addicted to the awsome world of tattoo bro, peace
