How bad does a tattoo on the back of the wrist hurt?

My little sister (18) is considering a small purple and blue tattoo of intertwining vines on the top of her wrist. She asked my opinion on this, but I have never gotten a tattoo and have no clue.

How bad would that hurt? I don’t want here to do something without knowing, and I know she’s relying me for an answer. Is it really a good idea? Would there be a better place for a tattoo?

I don’t have any tattoos but I already came up with two tattoo designs. They’re just lettering.

One will go around my wrist.
The other one will be on the inside of my forearm and I want it to take up all the space so it will be big.

What kind of feather tattoo should I get?

I don’t know what each feather means so can you help me? I’m planning to get a feather tattoo but don’t know what exactly feather? Eagle tattoo, owl, etc? I’m getting a tattoo and birds are flying out to resemble my family. Thanks!

What happens to a tattoo if you get pregnant?

I understand everyone’s body is different, but what is the norm for this sort of thing? I’m planning on getting a tattoo that would go down my ribs and maybe onto my stomach a bit, but I’m worried that when I’m older if I get pregnant it might get messed up. If that’s a strong possibility I would move the location of the tattoo.
If anyone has before and after photos of tattoos like this I would really like to see them, thanks :)

I am planning on getting my first tattoo soon. I am a regularly shaky person and my fiance says they may not work on me if I cant control it. Im not talking about violent shaking or anything. And it isn’t constant. Just kind of twitchy at times. Will they still work on me? Is there anything they can do to prevent themselves from messing up if i twitch or shake?

I am big on tattoo’s and piercings. 7 tattoo’s and 5 piercings and only 17! Anyway.. I would love to do a proper tattoo’ing course and then be an artist but I can’t draw? Is this important? My tattoo artist NEVER draws my tattoo’s.. they have someone in the shop who specifically does that so is it still possible?

Thankyou!

I want to be a tattoo artist, and get an apprenticeship. I have noticed though, that a lot of tattoo shops also do piercings. If I am a tattoo artist do i need to be able to do piercings aswell?

How can I get an original tattoo design?

I want to get a tattoo but I want something original. I don’t want to get something from like google images or something that is a rip off like that. I don’t really know what I want, but I want a tattoo. Any suggestions on how to get an original design?

How much does a tattoo hurt on the rib cage?

I’m interested in getting my first tattoo and I know exactly what I would want. It’s two words, simple and meaningful to me. I’d want it rather small, and I figured I could easily hide it with clothing. I’m not sure if this is the best place but I keep coming back to it. I’ve read some peoples opinions, however they are usually talking about larger tattoos. I’m wondering how much it hurts (my pain threshold is pretty average) and if there’s a better spot that I should consider!

I have a 7" crucifix tattoo on my forearm to show devotion to my faith. I just got a new corporate job and will never show my tattoo during work hours. I am, however, a bit worried a coworker (even my boss) will inevitably see it in town (city of 100,000 and the company employs 1,200 people) and perceive it as unprofessional. Could this tattoo possibly prohibit me advancing my career with this company with these circumstances? If so, should I spend the money to remove it?

How do you protect a forearm tattoo in the sun?

Im getting a forearm tattoo next week, and i want to know how to protect it from the sun. I work outdoors for 6 hours in the heat and sunlight. Should i put a cloth bandage over the fresh tattoo? I dont want to wear long sleeve clothing cause it’ll be very very HOT.

Any suggestions?
How about if i get a tattoo on my bicep ? Should i still put a bandage on ?

How much does a tattoo stretch after pregnancy?

I’m turning 18 in a few months, and my birthday present will be a tattoo!! I’d like to get a rose vine that starts around my arms, stretches down to my back, twists on my side, and rests on my pelvic bone. Here’s the thing: I would like to have at least one kid down the road. How badly will this stretch the tattoo? Will it be ruined?

PS I’m a size 5 if that has to do with anything. Pretty average.

I really think they look tough, but I have ambitions in life.
I don’t think a tattoo on the neck speaks professionalism.

I really want to get a tattoo that symbolizes someone who has been a very important figure and inspiration to me since I met them. But I don’t want to do anything cliche. No names, initials, or zodiac signs. But I can’t think of any other way that I can symbolize them. Help please?

How long does a small tattoo take to heal?

I am planning on getting a small tattoo on my wrist. I don’t want it to be visible at work so I would probably wear a bracelet over it whenever I’m at work. Would this affect the healing process? How long does a tattoo take to heal on average?

My friend drew a really cool tattoo on my forearm with a Sharpie. I really like the tattoo and I would like to keep it for another day, but I’ll have to take a shower tomorrow morning. Is there any way I can keep it from washing off or fading in the shower?

I am getting a turtle on the back of my neck. Its a memorial tattoo for my Grandpa. I usually wear things that cover my neck, would it be really obvious to people if I got it done on the back of my neck?
