Wrist tattoo

[Traveller]

Has anyone had one? How painful are they? And do you think this design http://flyingteapot.haaan.com/wp-con...x-Oxytocin.png is too detailed for a wrist if it was maybe 3cm x 2cm?

My brother and sister both have one, and apparently they aren't painful - my sister tells me the tops of her feet were much more painful.

I had the top of my foot done last summer and it was painful enough to put me off anay more until now so that makes me very happy to hear

My wrist one hurt like a mother "lover" and bled accordingly. It may have been the location, it may have been the artist not knowing what she was doing. In any case, I hate it. The ink has bled out a little, but not as much as the one in my leg. Here's a photo of my wrist:

So, it has come to this.

i have one on my wrist ankle and am currently getting my back done.. my back hurt more then the others!

[CKJ]

I've got one on my left wrist probably 2cm x 1.5cm and it was painless.

I've also got one on the top of my right foot which is at least 4x the size but I didn't find too painful.

If I did compare the 2, wrist was definitely easier. I'd think it may be too detailed for that size but I'm no tattooist so they may see differently.

Good luck

You've seen mine, it didn't hurt, it was actually quite relaxing. Had it re-inked when they finished off the outlining on huge one on my back (so on first session, after 2 1/2 hours of back being done), it was actually really calming and relaxing to have the slight pulling on the inside of the wrist after the almost passing out pain of the back.

My bestie has words circling her wrist and she said it wasn't painful.

I have nothing to compare it to as that's all I've had. But tbh I thought it was fine

[Traveller]

Has anyone else had their wrist tattoo bleed? My one is so detailed if it bleeds it will just look ****, I'd rather not bother if that is likely and I'll find another location

ETA I mean the ink bleeding, not the tattoo itself which I fully expect to bleed lol

Wrists are ok (can be really painful if you've got very skinny wrists without much padding on the tendons) but def not as painful as the side of the foot.

Wrists and feet don't tend to wear well and the designs are much more prone to blurring / bleeding out as they're high movement areas and I'd say that design is too detailed for the size you want. It could be done but wouldn't look the best after a few years.

Bend your wrist. Where it creases can bleed. Where it doesn't shouldn't.

[Sopdet]

Yep the design is a bit too detailed for a wrist It is awesome by the way

[Traveller]

hmm where else could I get it done? I know the obvious location is over my heart but TBH I'm not up for that, and my ribs was my other thought but again I don't love the idea

Shoulder blade? Between then towards the lower part of your neck? Calf or lower thigh. The outside forearm.

[Traveller]

calf and lower thigh are out due to the fatness, and my empty shoulder blade is reserved for another design. Outside right forearm could work but would it look weird there? Maybe inside left arm could work. Hmm, decisions, decisions...

[Rouge]

Sush has tattoos on both outer forearms I don't think they look weird at all. And yeah inside upper arm always looks awesome too. Basically... ANYWHERE!

[Traveller]

Lol I didn't mean a tattoo there would look weird, more that particular design in combination with my current tattoos. Might have to get someone arty to draw it on a few places so I can decide

Could you get it on the back of your neck, below your hairline?
