Okay..So im really contemplating having my first ever tattoo age 27!..Ive had my eye on a design since i was 14! Ive always wanted a tattoo of a heartagram (google it if you dunno what it is) on my forearm! The only thing that puts me off is the needles and the fact that its more than likely gonna hurt like hell!
Ive had mixed answers from everyone i know, some saying it absolutely battered (hurt!) to some who commented it only felt like a cat scratch!..And nothing really helpful after that, my OH (Who has 8 tattoos) seems to think ill breeze through it since ive had a baby, and did more than half my labour on just paracetomol and codeine..But childbirth pain and tattoo pain aren't really in the same ball park are they really?..lol!
Im thinking of either next week or next payday paying a visit to the old tattoo shop, but im scared incase i chicken out or be one of those really unfortunate souls who freak out the tattoo artist by passing out!
So, pointers, and tips for the tattoo novice over here!..So ladies with forearm tattoos..How was it for you? (pain wise?)
Thanks ladies
