Tattoo advice?

[Glen Coco]

It's my 18th in less than 2 months (SO EXCITED) and I wanted to get my first tattoo around that time.
I have four that I want and i know i'm going to get slated but only one has any meaning to it, the others I just like. There's no point in telling me not to get them due to this reason as the majority i've wanted since i was like 14.

For those of you who have been ink'd where is the most painful place that you have experienced? I'm trying to decide which one i want first but i can't really decide which route to take... size or pain?

I want the following (fourth one i want a small horse shoe but i'm not sure where in the memory of Apollo, no writing as i think names are a bit of a hit and miss with tattoos, but i don't want that as my first as i havent decided a lot about it):






(the dove i want holding a heart made of sticks and on my shoulder blade)

so... what i'm asking is, if you've been inked what would your suggestion be for the first tat, and another question, if i get the anchors on my feet can they get ruined if they rub against shoes when they're newly done or am i making that up?

no negative crit please, it's my body and my choice

Hi,

uhm guess iv prob got most tattoos on this forum haha, uhm, think chest is the worst place to get one, I guess aslong as you REALLY want it, like you know you can see it on your body, then its fine getting it, people who say oh it has no meaning etc are mugs, its your body, your rules etc. Anything on hips, back, chest, foot, shin will hurt lots. I just had a half sleeve on my right arm up to my shoulder which got pretty painful.

Depends how big it is, but before it bleeds its actually fairly relaxing, then when it bleeds its pretty sore, specially when its a session of 6 hours or so.

like 10 mins, but they wont heal well, then you'll have to get them re-done a 3-4 times i'd say as they are like in your shoes / they will rub

Just don't get a tattoo on your arse. My girlfriend has one on her arse, she was in tears bless her

[GoldenMerc]

my arm has only just healed thats 4-5 weeks, for something like that 2 weeks to heal, but cos its in that place it will keep ripping the scab off, will come out really poor id say as its so thin, the scab will pull etc, make it wider, then re-done it'l eventually come out quite thick and poor id say choose a different place

Expect a sheer lot of pain, but yeh its an improvement in terms of the tattoo actually healing

oooooh is it really gonna hurt that badly? & when you said it'd probably take 10 minutes do you mean each or per?
