My new tattoos UPDATE WITH MORE

Kat, those are great tats! I love them!! I wanna get Spike & the little dog tattooed some day, the cartoon where the little dog jumps over Spike the bulldog, saying "where we goin' spike, huh huh can I go" LOL



christa, If you really have no pain tollerence I would not reccomend getting your first tat on the small of your back... well maybe if you are prepared for it or even if it is a small tattoo. That would be a little sensative, not only is your bone close to the surface but the skin is a little thinner back there as well, that is if you are on the slim side. It's not really that bad & I don't mean to scare you but a larger piece in that area for a first timer that is not good with pain at all may not be the best route to take. I'd probably start off with a smaller on in a less sensative spot just to get a feel for it.

I'm really thinking of getting a tattoo now *darn you* :D
However I want to get back to "my" healthy weight so it wont get all freaking looking as I loose a bit of weight.

I get monthly bonus' of 100.00 so I can get a nice one, I'm thinking on my arm, it'll be of Axle & of my own sketch (so I can get the marking correct). I want it to say, "Axle, Common Snapping Turtle, June 1999 - "

Any tats I may get will all be of my own sketches :) I like my stuff too much

Ok now I have to come to Indiana. lol I was planning on going there after the Findlay meeting this May but my friend who I was going to visit there just moved to Ohio and my finances don't allow another extra trip at the moment. I wills tart saving for another trip though, possibly to indinana. ;)

Love it!

I want to get a print of Simba's paw (from ink & paper) and have the artist tattoo it in a similar area of your's. I may get the girl's too, but Simba for sure. (He's my boy just like Nook is your's. ;) )

I bet that would look great. I wanted to do that soooo bad, get "real" dog prints tattooed but figured they would be too big to do what I want to do, there wouldn't be room for Nooks head. lol So my prints just represent dogs in general then one tatoo will be done of each of my dogs in memory of them themselves.

I'd love to see yours when you get it done. ;)

:) Hey I like the paws around the leg idea.. Pretty neat.. I have on my left leg a Bangle Tiger rouring & in the middle of a Big Rose.. I call it my TigerRose..

Yeah, I love Spike and Chester! They're so funny. I'm also a huge fan of Claude Cat and Frisky Puppy.

BUT it also depends on your pain tollerence too. Everyone is different.

The worst area so far for me was the inner arm when I had my partial arm band done. Back then they didn't have tables either so I had to hold my arm for an hour or so, I'm sure that didn't help much either. lol Even still I would never say that any of my tattoos actually hurt, they would just get a little bothersome/sore/irritated after a bit. I do have a failry high pain tollerence too but I still wouldn't say they really hurt as I know a lot of people with no pain tollerence that have had tats done & even they said the same thing, it didn't really hurt just irritating, almost like rubbing an area over & over again or touching a slight sunburn. And thats what they feel like the first couple days of healing, like a slight sunburn. After 1-3 days though you usually don't feel a thing.

Thanks for the info. I've got one across my shoulder blade, and your right it wasn't that bad, it was more an irritant than pain, but I'm considering one on my ankle which is right on bone which is why I was curious. I confess I can be a bit of a coward when it come to pain..lol ;)

Cheshirekatt I love the cats! and Marc Anthony!
