I got on my lower back, it took over 3 hours. For your first one I would chose a small one to see how you handle the pain. The back really dosent hurt but the ankle is kinda tender.

They are fairly big and I got it because I like stars. ah ha I don't know, I was 16 and felt like getting tattoos. I don't regret them.. in fact, they are my favorite tattoos. Out of those two I have a sleeve yet to be finished and others. My first tattoos I got are two outlined stars on the back of my calf’s (behind my legs).

It's the chinese charatures for the word "crazy". I got it on my left ankle. It is all black, the artist that did it drew it up in such a way that it looks like it was painted on with a paintbrush. It's very cool. Still looks like I just got it too.....as dark today as it was 8 years ago. Email me and I can send you a picture of it if you would like. I got my first tattoo when I was 25.

It is a wave (ocean), a city skyline and a mountain - for all of the three places I have lived. Since then I have gotten a bunch more (not really counting because some morph into others, I have a full sleeve on my right arm). The thing that I love is that every one is a story about what is going on in my life. My skin is an open book about me, and I'm proud of the beautiful art I have. For the guy that wrote he's too worried about dirty needles, this isn't 1950 (although some of my favorite tattoos were popular then). A vast majority of shops are clean - their business, livelihoods, reputation, and money depend on it. That's not to say that there aren't bad ones, because there are. Make sure inks are poured into individual one-use mini cups and that all needles and equipment has been sterelized in an autoclave (a machine that sterlizes to medical standards). Just use common sense, and don't do the old, "my friend bought a tattoo gun and can hook you up at his house for free." Remember, you get what you pay for, and it goes to the grave with you so make it count! Good luck and love your ink!!! I drew my own first.

I am too young for a tattoo. Seriously, I have managed to live this long without one in spite of a 22 year military career. At this point I just can't see any reason good enough to warrant the risk of a dirty needle. I know most artists are careful but it only takes one mistake and you have AIDS, Hepatitis or some other equally nasty disease. If I make it to 100, I'll think about it again. I’m only 59 years old.
