By the way, the 16 hours was split up, not all in one sitting. The longest session was 8 hours......the worst were the touch ups, thinking I'm done and he decides to do just a little more. Be done already I say.

Has anyone ever used Emla? It temporarily numbs the skin for tats. It works great, especially if you're getting one on or near a bone.
I'm a wuss but really wanted a tat. Emla was a lifesaver!
Steve, I have some if you or Jo want to use it.

Just looked at the sites, some really nice work, now I'm getting all siked for my next one.
I do have one question (you can't answer), who would want a tatt of Conan O'Brien. Ewwwwwwwwwwww!!!!
LOL ... AMEN! I still can't get past the first one ... this one is simply amazing!

Sounds a lot like childbirth, you know you were in a hell of a lot of pain, but yet you do it all over again. The brain seems to forget just for that reason. LOL Jo might like to hear that.
PRACTICE !!! That's what I tell her going in to it !!! You're practicing for Child Birth baby !!!! LOL ... excellent analogy ...
I'm so dang conservative, only have my ears pierced and probably would never get a tattoo, BUT if I did get one, it would be a little black and white kitty head on my ankle.
Interesting Cheryl ... How long is it supposed to stay in effect? May be perfect for Jo ... Although, I may want her to *FULLY EXPERIENCE* what tattooing is all about
FEEEEELING THE BURN !!!!!
Yeah, that gorilla was pretty freakin' amazing, looks so real, almost freaks a person out.
LOVE the analogy......it works.

Just go for it lucky!!! that is where Jo is getting her's!!!
both jo and myself are VERY conservative ... Minus body art (or minus MY body art). Every other part of our life is
You'd be surprised at how often I am asked what my tattoo's are and what they mean and I enjoy explaining
Never heard of Emla, but I have to admit, the pain is part of the fun of it for me. Not that I like torture or anything, but something about knowing what I did to get the beautiful artwork. For me it was for my Dad (the back tatt) and all the pain was worth always having him with me.

is it really like that, because it's true about having kids, I have two, immediately after I said NEVER AGAIN, but it happened more that once lol.. I soooo want a tat
Girlie, you have had kids, you can do a tatt..... The pain goes away and you have something beautiful with you always. I think the footprints and handprints are a really cool idea, I've seen them on people, they look really nice.
Sorry for hijacking your thread, I just get so excited about these things. LOL

oh no hijacking going on, its about tats, it's cool with me I am terrified for some reason! maybe I'll just start with names, lol that will be quick and I can get a feel for it. I was also thinking of something of my foot, but I hear those fade and mess up

I'm with CaSH, we are pretty conservative as well, but the tatts all have meaning for us, and I love showing them off and telling people about them. Go for it....

Never done the foot, but I hear those are quite painful because of the bones. Although, on my back, I thought the shoulder blades would be the worst and it was actually the middle of my back and right by my armpits that hurt the most, tender areas.
DW, feeling pretty stupid, how did you get your image so large? It made me resize mine down. You can still click and get a bigger image, but I would like to see it larger (my husband hears that a lot.... LOL). Sorry couldn't resist.
But really, how did you upload such a large image?

Footprints !!! Jo's best friends Hubby has Kingstons (son's) footprints on his arm ... they are REALLY cute !!!

Hey Girlie ...
It all depends on how you take care of it afterwards. Google Tattoo aftercare instructions and follow it to a "T" ... Keep it out of sunlight for atleast a good 3-4 weeks, continue to moisturize through the tattoo's life, and the colors/lines should stay great! Nothing to really be terrified ... You may want to start on a part of the body that has more *meat* to it ... Starting on Feet/ribs/neck/bones in general are QUITE painful ... The meatier parts you can almost not even feel. THe one on my calf, I don't even remember getting done ... LOL
Be careful of ticklish spots too, unlike CaSH, my calf was tough only because it tickled as did my stomach. It still hurt, but the movement was confusing because it tickled and hurt at the same time. Not sure how that works, but that's how it worked for me. LOL
I am a bit "lucky" I had spinal surgery at age 14 and I cant feel sharp/dull on my back like at all... maybe that will help..
