I haven't found level's thread either........ I'll add mine here. I have 6 tats, and the only piercings I have are in my ears, the odd one is my conch.....

I have pisces on the back of my ankle, a couple on my belly, one on my thigh, one on my back and a toering..... I've been thinking about number 7, addicting things they are!

Hey, when im few years older i would like a tatoo of some sort..but can any1 tell me which are the most painful places and the least..thnx lol

[AshleytheGreat]

I remember LD saying soft spots hurt the most. I think like elbow, side, stomach and stuff.

[cheesy feet]

oki doki ..thnx for the info..btw i just found previous tatoo post ..is there an age restriction to tatoos?
thanks ollie

Pain is highly individual. For me, its soft spots like the underside of my upper arms, as well as places close to the bone, like shoulderblades.

I'd never get a tatto as I think there stupid and ugly looking, I mean like what if you got tatto's going up your arm and your at some place formal. Or if you get piercing's all over the place it won't look right if you take them out and have all these holes all over your body. I espically dislike those stupid earings that they stick in your earlobes that are black and they make your earlobes HUGE, then when you grow up and learn that they are stupid you have a earlobe that hangs like 3" away from your chin or something. LMAO

No offence but imo tatoos are ment for looking at and if your at some place 2"formal" it should look nice rather than grim(unless the tatoo wasn't done properly)..i slightly agree bout peircings ova your body (i dont think peircings look good)but still its the persons choice...tatoos rule lol

Haha Durb.

Cheesy feet, there is an age limit in my state...you have to be 18 to get a tattoo without parental consent....I'm not sure how old you have to be to get one with parental consent though.

I'm not brave enough to get one...I don't like pain so I'd have to be drunk or something to get one. If I did get one, it would be on my lower back.

[Durbkat]

But I mean like, if you got like all kinds of heavy metal and all other kinds of wierd tattos on you, it just makes you look like a person who has nothing better to do than attract weird looks from people. LOL

[msdolittle]

Tats and piercings are totally personal and subjective. Some people view them as art, others think they're hideous. If you hate them, don't get one. Period. Personally, when I'm 80 I don't plan to wear a bikini so who gives a crap if I have tattoos all over my belly......kwim?

I think they're beautiful, I think they're artistic and I think they are a personal reflection of 'something' for the person bearing them.

As far as pain goes, thats personal too. My sister loves the feeling, I tend to think they can be painful. For me it depends on the size.....the smaller ones are easy, just annoying. The bigger ones get to be god aweful painful. My sides hurt the worst. My ankle and toe and belly were a breeze..... My thigh hurt like a ***** too.

Also, keep in mind that this is something that you'll have forever.........don't get anything trendy or anything you wouldn't like when you're 30. I wouldn't advise anyone under 21 getting one personally.......you barely know yourself at that age and tastes change. I have a coverup and I wish I could cover IT up. I'm stuck with it.....but oh well, its part of me now.

[Durbkat]

I thought tatto's were removable if you got some kind of surgery or somthing.

[msdolittle]

Yeah um........how much money do you want to spend?? Its expensive and it leaves a scar...... and it takes many procedures depending on the color and size of the tat.

[Durbkat]

Oh, I see.

[Puffer Pita]

Some ink colors don't remove very well either, and laser removal is VERY painful. Some say more painful than getting the tattoo in the first place. NEVER get a tattoo thinking you can get it removed later. You should always go into it with the understanding that its permanent.

Before I got my first one, I got a temp tattoo and walked around with it on for a week. I went to the tattoo parlor several times over several months, looking at all the flash and figuring out just what I wanted and where I wanted it. Several tattoos later, I have no regrets and actually am planning on getting more - assuming I can put enough money aside and not buy fish/tanks for awhile. Felt nothing on my chest, a bit of sting on my arms, but my shoulderblade felt like they were drawing with a scalpel.
