You should do a ton of research on an artist, do they have portfolios,etc??

None.......

A large Hello Kitty????

Bahahahaha! NO MA'AM!

You're right! I admit I'm being a lil impatient. I need to search more and put out more feelers.

I did approach two who's work and portfolios are amazing! Both politely declined. I'm guessing either the piece that I'd like is too small and/or they're well past dealing with tattoo virgins. Iol :p Understandable.

Yes possibly the tattoo virgin might be the problem they are having issues with.

No tattoo
 

I don't have a tattoo yet but I am always pondering the thought of if I did what would I get and where....that always is the struggle.

Nope, no tatts here.

No...
 

I don't have any.

Every once in awhile I do think about it though...

I have one "right of passage" tattoo I got when I was 18. Black rose with thorns - 1980s tribute to Motley Crue. Lol Reminds me of my metal chick days.
No plans to get anymore.

Nope
 

no tatts, no way, lol
doesn't that hurt?
:eek:

yes, this is my favorite one... and i am totally ready for more!

Not really... To me it feels like a pin prick. But that's my opinion.

Do tons of research on what you want and the tat artist as well. Look at portfolios and their years of experience if you want a big piece.

No, I do not have any tattoos and have never had a desire to have any.

Nope. No ink.

I was just gathering the courage to find out what it's like to have a tattoo ('cause the notion of needles in my skin lots doesn't appeal, but something pretty on the skin does) when I got put on blood thinners, and that''s game over for getting tatooed. I had in mind cherry blossom up my right arm, and a cute dragon on my left shoulder. Might see if one of those places that does transfers that stick to your skin can make something for me, one day.

I want another one now but dont have the money....le sigh.

Do people with those back pieces stand with their backs to a mirror holding a hand mirror so they can admire the piece or even be reassured that it's still there?

I'm seeing masses and masses of what I call "wallpaper" tattoos on kids these days and endless cultural appropriations almost always meaningless to the bearer.

I've taken to giving extreme advice: if you want a prison tat, go to prison first.
