I'm getting my first tatt tomorrow ;D
Feel free to go sick.
First ink, WOO HOO! I have 3 tattoos and counting plus I'm dating a tattoo artist so I'm a little biased here, but I think on certain women tattoos are as hot a decoration as you can get!
Like everything else though there are exceptions, like if a woman has her breast tattooed. I'm sorry but nothing says "clueless white trash" quite like woman with a playboy bunny (Or anything for that matter) tattooed on her boob.
Now, I've seen some incredibly sexy tattoos women have had around their
areola(s), but not too many could pull that one off.
Please for the love of all that is decent and gamer, DO NOT GET A TRAMP STAMP! I'm only telling you this because that is the one place where a woman should NOT get inked. Its been done to death, hurts like HELL and even though it looks sexy with a half-shirt, there's a reason why its called a
tramp stamp...
...unless of course that's what you're getting in which case I'll just shut up and mind my own business.
Other than that, all you need to know is that it initally hurts like a non-stop bee sting, but once the outline is done the colouring is easy. Don't be nervous, DON'T DRINK ANY ALCOHOL and don't be afraid to take as many breaks as you need to!
There is one last thing that you ABSOLUTELY MUST DO!!!
When you get to the shop, before you even get stencilled, ask
when the last time was they Spore tested their autoclave and if they don't know, can't provide documentation or give you a blank look after the word "Autoclave",
WALK OUT THE DOOR AND NEVER GO BACK TO THAT TATTOO SHOP. If they don't regularly spore test their sterilization equipment, there's no way to tell if its working until someone gets an infection. I'm not trying to scare you, but these are the realities of getting tattoo work done. My girlfriend does this stuff for a living so I'm not talking out of my ass here...
Have fun and post some pics when its done! (Hey,
you brought it up...)
