Inner wrist tattoo question?
I've got tattoos on both inner wrists, and the pain was different with each sitting. The first sitting didn't hurt at all, the second was more painful, and the third one hurt like hell! In terms of how long it will take, it depends on your tattooist - hopefully he will take his time over it! I can't see it taking any longer than an hour though. The price will depend on the tattooist as well, but I wouldn't expect to pay more than £100 for some script work on your wrist. I hope they turn out well, and remember, no picking the scab!! :)
Questions to ask people about their tattoos?
I'm guessing you're asking for questions to ask people? Okay, how about. Why did you get your tattoo(s)? Do your tattoos mean anything to you? Where did you get them done? Are you pleased with them? Any you regret getting? What's the stupidest tattoo you've ever seen? Do you plan to get more? What would you say to someone who is anti-tattoo to try and convince them to get a tattoo?
I have a tattoo question?
You can reschedule an appointment, you can't get your virgin skin back. Cold feet are totally normal for your first tattoo. That said, you'll "know" when a tattoo is right for you. What's making you nervous? Is it the pain? The permanence? The social stigmas attached to having tattoos? Tattoo pain is largely manageable and, while they last forever, they are a beautiful way to express yourself. Think about all the money you spend on clothes-- and that stuff only lasts a few years tops. More and more employers are accepting of tattoos and the "stigmas" formerly associated really are no longer an issue.
Paw print tattoo questions?
Im 14, going on 15 next month. [not that it matters i guess] I want to get a tattoo of a paw print on my left shoulder. I know that you have to be 16/18 (?) to get one, or have a guardian to agree with it, but I have some questions and requests. 1. Is it 16 or 18 years old to get one? 2. Does it have to be a guardian or can it be someone else that is within the age limit? 3. If I would happen to get one, what would I have to do to treat it or whatever till it's "normal"? 4. Where can I get some normal pictures of paw prints? I want the most basic paw print, not an actual print. (such as a bear print, etc) It doesnt matter if it has claws or not 5. About how much will it cost? I thought it may be around $50 or so, but I was also wondering what it may cost if it had other colors rather than just black? does it cost more? if so.. about how much would you think it could cost if i used 2 colors? 6. What colors/designs on the print would you think looks good? (I may add more stuff if i think about it. If you answer, you may want to check back at some point if you care about more details.)
What are some questions you can ask about someone's tattoo?
I agree with Torsten that, before you start a conversation with someone about their tattoos, you might want to ask yourself whether you’re prepared to hear the story. A lot of tattoos are highly personal, and you might stumble into a story you might feel is a bit too much information. Or worse, you might stumble into a story that is really boring.Then, ask yourself why you want to have this conversation. Are you interested in getting a tattoo yourself? Are you interested in the process? Are you interested in the person themselves? I think a lot of people who get tattoos like talking about the experience more than they like talking about the tattoo itself (hence all the lovely people talking about tattoos on Quora.)I always think, when it comes to tattoos, that asking What does your tattoo mean? is about as boring, annoying, and predictable as asking a writer What is your novel about? People get asked that a lot, and will probably have a soundbite answer ready (I know I do). So you probably won’t get an interesting conversation out of that question.Here are some questions I find interesting about tattooing:Is it true that getting tattoos is addictive? (it is, for most people. And if you start with that, you’ll show the person that you have some interest in and understanding of the practice.)Are you thinking of getting more? (if they are, they’ll tell you about it. If they’re not, they’ll probably tell you why the one(s) they have is (are) the only one(s) they want.)If the person has more than one tattoo: Which tattoo was the most painful to get? (as mentioned, it seems to me that people like talking about the experience of getting a tattoo. This might also get people talking about their artist(s), which some people also like.)If the tattoo is especially intricate / a really well-executed, unusual piece: How did you find the artist / how far did you have to travel to get the particular art? (the better the art, the better the artist, the prouder the tattooed person for carrying the specific art around)Copyright Dr WooThese are just some things I find interesting to talk about. Once you’ve started a conversation, if you find the person interesting, I’m sure you’ll come up with lots more interesting questions to ask them :)
Questions about getting a tattoo in the pubic area?
OK, it's gonna be very painful down there, you need to wait a minimum of 4 weeks to shave the area, and as for tanning, it's never a good idea to expose a tattoo, no matter how old, to the sun. If you MUST tan, get the best sunblock possible, with the highest SPF. You could use Tattoo Goo's Color Guard for your tattoo. Shaving, you need to make sure the tattoo is completely healed. Your skin needs to feel and look like the skin on the rest of your body. The tattoo is in the dermis layer, and the epidermis is the top layer that you shave. If you shave too early and the epidermis isn't healed, you could cut yourself, potentially damaging the tattoo. You will know when it's healed by the way it looks and feels. Like I said, minimum 4 weeks. EDIT: Sorry, minimum 4 weeks to tan also, you really need to let the tattoo heal completely before tanning as well.
A question I get asked a lot about my tattoos is, "What if in 10 years you don't want them anymore?" How would you answer that question?
You can always get them lazered, but if they’ve been well thought out (and sometimes even super of the moment ones too!), you probably won’t. For example, you decide a day ahead to get a tattoo with a good friend, or family member- that tattoo will be a happy one even when/ if you grow apart. We do change, but while you might have chosen something different the older you get, or a different style, if the meaning and memory around that tattoo are still good ones, the tattoo is like a photo. It’s a snapshot of a specific era/time/aethestic and we usually look upon those things fondly. Then again, like I said, if the person you were getting tattooed with was later cruel to you, or the tattoo done badly, or the band no longer a favorite, or whatnot, the removal processes are getting less painful and more affordable all the time. So… it CAN be undone.But to avoid this, do research ahead of time on styles and symbols- think about lasting messages/images/styles beyond something thats just funny or ironic for a day, and get symbol of people or times perhaps before names, and those tattoos will age better. :) My two cents
Which questions should I ask myself before getting the first tattoo?
You’ve had so many good answers, and I think all the important questions have been answered. Here’s a couple of things I try to ask myself (and be honest about) before running to the tattoo parlour:Do I want this tattoo badly enough that I’m willing to wait 10 months to a year between getting the initial idea for it and actually getting it inked? If I totally, absolutely, really HAVE TO HAVE THIS DESIGN RIGHT NOW -I try to give it a few months. You’ll have the rest of your days to enjoy it, if you do get it done. There’s no rush, and you might thank yourself later.Will this particular type of design, which is really popular now and I see it everywhere, make me feel like a ninny in 20 years? (not because it won’t mean the same to me, but because it will be so 90s, or 00s, or whatever.)copyright Matt Groening Life in Hell ArchivesI really want a tattoo on (my wrist, my forearm, my leg, my face) -but do I want *this* *specific* tattoo there? Chances are you’ll want more than one tattoo (most people do). Unless you’re planning to get stuff removed or covered up, it’s worth thinking long and hard about what to put where.This, for me, is the most important question:Am I emotionally stable right now? A lot of people get tattoos because they’ve been through a rough time, or an amazing time, or they’ve lost a loved one, or they’ve had a big dream crushed and they want to give themselves courage. And those are perfectly good reasons. But permanently marking yourself should be a decision made with a very clear head -not in the aftermath, or during, an emotionally challenging time. So, if you really, absolutely have to get that tattoo the reminds you of X, Y, or Z, maybe give it a few months, or years, after X, Y, or Z, has happened, and you’ve had a chance to process it.Best of luck!
Kinda weird tattoo question....please answer!!?
Don't listen to the other jokers.Here is exactly what to do from day one; 1.Remove bandage after 1 hr, wash with cool clean water and soap.DO NOT LET ANY ONE TOUCH NEW TATTOO. DO NOT REBANDAGE. 2.Wash with soap and water at least twice daily, apply PROTAT or BEPANTHEN 1 hr after each wash. 3.DO NOT scratch or pick while healing. 4.NO sun, surf, or chlorinated water until COMPLETELY healed. 5.ABOVE ALL....KEEP CLEAN. So i would not lay around on a germy couch, even if it has been a week since getting tat. do above advice until totally healed and follow instructions closely when you get next tat.
