I got my first tattoo on my right shoulder, it wad a lot bigger than I first wanted (taking up my entire shoulder blade)
My only regret was getting my first tattoo somewhere that I couldnt see it easily and admire it (my dh got his first one on the back of.his forearm) I then fell pg not long after.
Then after I had her and stopped bfing it slowly has turned into a 3/4 sleeve.. Im just in love with it. Its me and too bad.
My family did the 'are you sure?' Supportive thing I guess.. But I reminded them that this is what I want..
As far as my working or what people think.. This is me and if you dont want me to work for you because I have tattoos then I dont really want to work for you!
But I think in the end in your heart you'll know,if/when/where :-)
I wanted one ever since I saw the griffin wings on the chick from ''The Crow'' at 15, so at 17 I had wings tattooed on my back. I still love them, they're very much me. I can show them off, or cover them up very easily. My parents were ok with it, when my dad's friends talked about their tattoo's he was actually quite proud that his teenage daughter had the largest one (excellent priorities, my parents!). I haven't had any since, and have no desire for any more. I did it, it's done, I'm done
From design to completion was about 8 weeks, because it took a few sessions for mine to be finished. I had a tattooist friend so she designed it. My advice would be to get something designed for you, and not off the wall/book. Get something you really love, if you want something big, get it. Don't settle for something smaller, or not quite what you want because you're worried about other people's reactions. Once you have it, people's reactions are generally positive. Even my grandma likes my fairy wings
