Tattoo advice?

[Empired]

My brother had two done on the insides of his ankles that were two swirly oddly shaped things and he says that they hurt like hell for 6 weeks because there's no excess skin round there to cushion the needles. Plus he had to wear vans for ages because tough shoes hurt and inflamed them again so he went back and they gave him some cream to apply twice a day and it made it much better.

He says they're worth it now.

I have 18 tattoos in total, all I'd say is if you can't take pain then don't have one done. You need to be a relaxed persona and also having your first tattoo would be advisable to have it where you got muscle not on bone like your spin or foot.

ohh ok, i just had a thought about the ankle ones though, i'm going to have to do it really when i'm not going horse riding because my boots are quite tight. i think i'm gonna look into the dandelion one, i've emailed a place for prices so i might us the money that i'll get for working over christmas for that

personally I think those tattoos are hideous which you've posted but anyway I got one on my arm and I'd say that's the least painful place but idk cos I only have the one, it's jus like a sharp scratch.

For the love of all that is holy, please please don't just pick the place that'll do it for the cheapest. Have a look at the artist's portfolio, and try and ask for photos of healed tattoos. Tattoos can look great when they are fresh, but a year down the line the lines could have fallen out and the whole piece is faded. This is why a lot of tribal looks bad, because all the kids go to the cheapest place and they pay the price for it.

For something like that, and that size, I would imagine it would be about £180, probably no more than £200. Most tattoo artists (at least the ones I know) charge about £60 an hour, and I can't see that taking more than three hours.
