Oh dear, I didn't think that actually happened. Maybe you have swine flu and this is a new symptom.

Side effect of having kids I'm afraid

Try the henna. If I had got that tribal band I'd be in getting it removed about now. If you wanna do something crazy get a piercing. If you don't like it take it out and the hole will close up

Thats what I was going to suggest Cags... a peircing can always be removed if you dont like it in a couple of years. Impulse and rebellion/being crazy type tattoos are often the ones that people regret having.

Also Darnell, its worth remembering that if you do have it done on your wrist its somewhere that everyone can see. A lot of people have negative reactions to tattoos and judge you, so you'd need to be prepared for that

That sounds lovely *the-blusher* Not that I'd know, but I imagine the foot wouldn't hurt so much, always a good thing

Oh there ya go then Oh well if you like it I'm sure it's well worth it

Aww thanks Definitely, still going to give it a lot of thought, look around to see what I like before I even decide, I am going crazy at mo trying to decide Did your others hurt? Trouble with me is I can be a wimp and have quite thin skin But I guess it's worth it if I decide I really want it done.

They didn't hurt too much at all really, though the one on the ankle was more uncomfortable. I quite like the pain though, it's addictive

Did hurt, but not that much (only when it went over bone).

I have had to have the colours touched up.. as it seemed to lose pigment.

I don't really want my daughter to have one, well, I don;t mind her having one, as long as it is small, and discreet.

Hey DPT Good advice Sure you appreciate it more then

Aww That's cool
How old is your daughter? I was really surprised, my Mum's not keen on them yet she was pretty cool about it, but then I'm 19 so guess she's just respecting that I'm old enough to make my own decision. But yeah, that's what I'm keen on something discreet enough not to be off putting, yet noticeable a little

My daughter is 16. I let her have her belly button pierced at 15, as a compromise to only having one extra ear piercing.

And, kinda on the condition she didn't have a lip, or brow piercing.

Re: tattoos.... my only objection would be not wanting her to regret it.

What are now called tramp stamps weren't always seen as such. Before they became v v popular they looked quite nice... its just as everyone got them, they got a reputation for being "common".

So yeah.. you're doing the right thing, as in you are looking into it. I was 21 when I got mine. And I rarely see it, so I don't think about it much. Also, its easily covered up if needed for work etc.



Oh, one thing... I still hadn't decided what I wanted when i got to the tattooist.. I had thought dragonfly.. it was the tattooist who after talking it through suggested a bee (which I think works better)

So... make sure you get a really good tattooist... do your research xx

Ok... the tattooist is probably the most important decision of all.

For hygiene reasons, and for artistic ability.

In the town I live there was really only one bloke... everyone had heard of him... and he appeared at tatoo conventions.

My advice, if you do decide to go ahead, would be to google the life out of any of the names of tatooists you see.

Also find out where your local conventions are, and when... you don;t have to go to one... but it is handy to see who is exhibiting at them.

A good tattooist 'gets' that it is a BIG decision.

Google is very much your friend, and I am sure there will be associations and stuff.
