I fretted over tattoos when I was younger. It had to "mean" something, etc. Fast forward to my early 30's. Decided that it was more about the experience and didn't really care about explaining anything. I got my first tattoo at 33 on my calf, and now I have 1.5 sleeves. It's cheaper than therapy, and I like giving my artist a super general idea and seeing what he comes up with (without me seeing beforehand).

I’m worried about getting something and then regretting it because of my aesthetic changing and me wanting something else in replacement of it. For example I want a rib tattoo but I am afraid I will regret getting a butterfly in my later years because I found a new design I much more prefer

You can do cover ups, or maybe choose an aesthetic that always works for you. For example I am drawn to japanese style right now, but I know I have always liked (since my childhood) dark, mysterious witchy styles

i always thought about getting a teeny tiny small tattoo as my first, but then i thought about the same thing you were talking about. if i'm putting myself through this experience, i don't want it to be for 10 minutes. so my first tattoo was on my upper arm, near my shoulder, about like 13cms and i love it. it was easy, fun, and i became friends with the tattoo artist. a win win situation all around :)

Painless or rather unnoticeable compared to my emotional pain. Majoras Mask across the 'top' of my wrists (and some of the back of my hands) so that if I hold up my arms, palms of my hands toward my face and put my wrists together the two halves of the mask meet up and become the full image of the mask.

Got my first tattoo just under the back of my neck, palm sized. Of a symbol from a show i grew up with, it was my comfort show growing up through difficult situations and i doubt I would have been where I am today if not for it. Now I'm going to get dinosaurs tattoos because I just think their cool. I feel like I just needed a meaningful one to justify getting it, even tho I didn't need to. I'm just having a difficult time finding a tattoo artist not to far in an illustrator type style.

I recently got my ears pierced for the first time, and love them! The place I got them also does tattooing. I’ve always wanted a tattoo in honor of my dead daughter. However, I’m not religious, so I don’t want angel wings or any of that kind of shit. Maybe like a purple rose or interlocked roses with their thorns either twisting around to spell her name or surrounding it? I really want sleeves on both arms, so I want to put it somewhere that will allow for that…

Because you don't want to commit to a big tattoo if you've never experienced the pain before and want to see how well you tolerate it. Obviously. She is right that it's better to go a bit bigger since the first 10 mins is bad anyway but it's obvious why people do it

I got my first tattoo and it wasn’t as bad as I thought but after it I said I wouldn’t get another. About 4 months after it is completely healed and I now have forgotten what the pain was like and want to go back for round two. But I have no idea what to get. My first one was meaningful and in my wrist, have no clue where to go from here.

Maybe someone knows the answer to my issue...I’ve had my lower leg tattoo for about 3 months now and it still itches for a few days every couple of weeks. I apply a cortisone cream and the itch goes away. No redness, no rash, so signs of infection or allergy aside from the itching. My artist did have a bit of a heavy hand so is it just taking forever to heal or do I have to prepare myself for a lifetime of itching? 🙃

Full body tattoos look unnatural on cute people. It is like a superb introvert acting like the coolest rockstar, something about it feels irrelevant.
