t know what I was so nervous about. It was a piece of cake. I had been thinking of getting a tattoo for 3 years now. When ever I saw someone with a tribal tattoo I thought that is what I want. I just kept telling myself that it would hurt too much. I was WRONG. I am glad that I finely did it. I got a tribal piece with my brothers initials done in black on my left calf. It has special meaning to me, it is a tribute to my brother that was killed 11 years ago. If ...

ot like most kids my age.When I say I want something,I put my mind to it and get it done.It's very important for me to be as much of an individual as I can possibly be,which is why my hair is pink,my navel is pierced,and why I designed my own tattoo. One night when I was in my room blasting KORN on my stereo and flipping through a book with pictures of faries in it I thought "Hey, I want one of these." So I got out some paper and started drawing my idea of the perfect fairy.After about 2 ...

my girl had long discussed the idea of getting tattoos but i kept chickening out cos of what my parents would say. Neither us had family or friends who were tattooed and yet both of us could talk about nothing other than getting tattooed. We talked about this to other students at our university and they all thought we were mad apart from one indian girl who was well on her way to full coverage at that time. We kept discussing what to have done and both settled upon something small and discreet just to see whether we both liked ...

days after I turned 18 I finally got the tattoo I was craving. I went to the artist with the best reputation in my area. I knew a lot of people who have art by Jason on them and it has always looked good, so I decided to trust him. I was really scared. Let me say that again. I was REALLY scared. I must have asked him a gagillion times what it was going to feel like. I had two of my friends there with me. They had been tattooed by Jason previously, and they assured me that I ...

I work in the studio as an apprentice, but my first tattoo was a real buzz - it was like "yeah - I've finally done it!". I'd been apprenticing at a studio in Sheffield called Body Art, but I've moved on to D.B, and i'm loving every minute! I showed them my drawings and my piercings and they were really cool about everything - these are the things we do here, this is what you can do , this is what you shouldn't do. I have to say, from an unbiased point of view, it is the best studio I ...

24 when I got my first tattoo. I had been thinking about getting a tattoo for at least seven years. I grew up in one of the less major cities of western New York, and watched as many of my friends became tattooed. I was envious, but scared. Scared of what my mother would think, scared that I would permanently imprint something on my body that I would hate years later, ect. After I graduated high school, I moved to Boston, MA. I quickly came to find, to my dismay, that tattooing is illegal in MA. What a kick in ...

ided that I wanted to get a tattoo sometime around when I turned 16, but I had to wait until I was 18 to get it done legally. I'd heard there were some places where you could have it done without checking ID, but I wanted to go to someplace that was legit, and that meant waiting. I knew all along what I wanted for my tattoo; something that signified Gemini. I've always been almost stereotypically Gemini, so that was the logical choice. (Well, the May 31st birthday also helps.) It took me awhile to decide on exactly what Gemini ...

sitting at the table this morning after my run and bike ride; I was eating a bowl of Cap'n Crunch cereal when I suddenly thought...HEY!!! Today is a good day to get another tattoo (I currently have 10)! So I saddled up my '65 Mustang and drove 2 hours into Austin, hit a few tattoo studios, and found one I liked. I went into Custom Tattoos from the Soul with 2 design ideas in mind, one a wolf and the other a tiger. I wanted the tattoo either on my (back) shoulders, complimenting the wolf and tiger I already have ...

extremely nervous when I went to get my first tattoo in honor of my 17th birthday. I had decided on a small kanji character that represents destiny and heaven. I hadn't decided on that easily, either. I didn't want to get something that I would only be sorry for later in life, so I really took my time thinking about what I wanted and where I was going to put it. Once the time came, when I was sure that I was ready to go in, I took my best friend with me so that I would stay brave. My ...

rst off, I know that I'm only 14, and that's a little young to get a tattoo, but I'm happy with it, and I drew it, hence I think it was a good thing to do! I've wanted a tatoo ever since i was like, 10! Problem was, I'd never seen a tattoo that I would want on MY skin forever. I mulled the idea of choosing a flash tattoo over for a few years, and then when I was 13, I decided I wanted to get a dragon, because I collect 'em. I started sketching a rough design, starting ...
