Only temporary. :)
I've toyed with the idea of getting a more permanent tattoo off and on for the past few years, but haven't been brave enough to make that final step. One, I have a dislike of needles. I don't even like getting shots. Heck, I don't even like watching my pony get her shots. Two, I don't have world's greatest pain tolerance. Not sure that makes me the ideal candidate.
But I do like the idea of getting one with very personal meaning and symbolism...meaning something to do with my beloved heart-pony.
I've seen some very cool designs along the way...might see what I can manage to create in Photoshop.
It doesn't hurt that bad, really. I got a horse tattoo on my hip, for my first horse-love, and it was uncomfortable but nowhere near unbearable. And unless you ask to really stare at the gun up close, you can't see that it's needles. Wait til you get a design you love more than anything, then GO FOR IT!
ReplyDeleteThat actually makes me feel better than the responses of "You'll be fine, it doesn't hurt at all". In my experience, "You'll be fine" is cause for worry. I have a friend that's a tattoo artist, so I want to see if I can get them to come up with some design ideas for me to fall in love with.
DeleteI have a ladybug tattoo on the top of my foot. About the size of a dime. It took about 15 minutes to do! I got it to remember a friend that passed away =)
ReplyDeleteAn excellent memorial. I have a dragonfly necklace I frequently wear for the same reason.
DeleteI now have 5 tattoos, and I can't say they hurt..it was more discomfort..some ticklish, some moments of "R@#$(*&&^!" but those were brief. And all worth it, because I love what they symbolize :) 2 for my family and 3 to do with horses. Dunno if you saw my post from earlier this month when I got my latest done: http://redheadedendurance.blogspot.com/2012/02/im-back.html
ReplyDeleteI did see those...the lettering on the text is beautiful. Definitely the love idea of turning the crescents into a tribal horse head.
