Guess What!

Today was one heck of a day. Classes, studying for my psych midterm, and...I GOT MY TATTOO!!

So, of course, I am in an incredibly GREAT mood right now. Cause I love it. Pricey, but the whole experience was amazing, so I am definitely going back for any others I get. I was so nervous before, but when Dave (my tattoo artist) put the needle to my skin, this calm just came over me. It hurt, but it really wasn't that bad at all. The worst problem was that it took 3 hours, and so having them jab the needle in repeatedly starts to wear on your nerves.

Please comment on the pics, I like to know what all my friends think of it.

Yeah, kinda HIM-based, but I love the meaning behind the heartagram, and it's something that (even if I stop liking the band or whatever) will still look good.






Edited: I uploaded the pics from my (new!) photobucket account, so that should take care of everything. Just tell me if it's not working and I'll bang my head in frustration.

I love it!!! Especially the colour, the writings gorgeous to....it's fucking ace m'dear (and you have lovely hair by the looks of it)

The first one I want done is the heart on my wrist with Synnin Viemaa or something else finnish inside it, so I'm hoping it doesn't hurt too bad, i'm normally pretty good with pain xxx

[interpol15.livejournal.com]

Why thank you. I adore it too (which is good, cause this is never coming off).

I'm really good with pain, but I've heard that the wrist can be kinda painful since the skin is so sentsitive there. But it always hurts worse in your imagination then in reality (small comfort, eh *laughs*), so just remember that love.

haha! Yeah, I'm hoping that's what it'll be like, I can't decide if I want my first one on my wrist or hip...decision decisions!! Thanks for the advice love, a tattoo virgin needs all she can get!

Oh, did they put that antiseptic numbing cream on your's beforehand? Just wondering because this fireman/teacher of mine has got one straight up his forearm and said they used that for it. xxx

He cleaned it with alcohol, and probably, but I really couldn't tell. But did it numb anything...no. Dave must have just cleaned the area, but NO painkillers in anyway anywhere. (I feel so tough right now, lol)

[bynx89.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh, shame! (I was hoping for it to be all numbed down!) You're a right little soldier aren't you sweetheart? lolx

[interpol15.livejournal.com]

Damn straight I am (laughs). It truly wasn't that bad, or at least that's what I thought. My friend thought I was going to fall asleep of something, lol. I don't know if they nimb down the skin at all, but I'm not an expert, so who knows? (maybe only for really sensitive areas)

yeah you looked really relaxed, or bored..lol you didnt seem in too much pain, i was expecting worse too and all i was there for was to watch! ^_^

inside wrist is quite painful, as is getting a tatt the day before your period... not recommended! But if it's small it's not so bad and inside wrist tatts look great :) I have a gothic 'x' on mine ;)

[bynx89.livejournal.com]

Really? That's the thing it's hard to tell how painful it would be beacuse everyone reacts differently to pain. I think I can take it because I spent an hour playing cricket on a broken ankle....is it true that taking pain killers beforehand thins your blood so therefore you bleed really badly?

I'll have to remember that one!

I bet yours looks really cool, thanks for the advice :)

[hergerbabe.livejournal.com]

oh yes that's true, no drugs (of legal or illegal kind LOL) or alcohol before a tatt. Also, not a good plan to use numbing cream, it helps to know what the pain of the tatt was like so you can tell if any pain afterwards is okay, or something going wrong, like an infection or something, plus it kinda makes you look like a wuss ;) j/k LOL

Great...to be honest I'd probably be totally fine with it (I mean I've had two holes drilled in my knee for christs sake!) it's just the whole thought of it, you know? I'm just shitting bricks lol

haha! Oooh I am a wuss ;)
xx

[hergerbabe.livejournal.com]

LOL nah you're not, I always spend the first five to ten minutes of a tatt going 'what the f*ck am I doing?!?!?!' and then I'm ok :) two holes in your knee?? youch!

[bynx89.livejournal.com]

haha! ahh good, I'll be fine when I get mine then :)

Yeah, slightly painful...made worse by the fact that my mum slammed the car door on my foot (which was out straight because it was in a splint...

I wasn't pleased ;)

Mind if I add you hun? x

[hergerbabe.livejournal.com]

Youch! You certainly may add me if you wish :) always nice to talk to a fellow Brit :)

[bynx89.livejournal.com]

Oh I didn't realise you were a Brit!
