    Don't do it. You will thank me later. Like in 30 years.

        Only if the tattoo survives. They eventually turn into a big blob of color, that has slid into s different part of your body, that you can't determine what it began life as.

          Nothing looks particularly good as we age.
          It is not like someone is gonna say, "You look so youthful except for those sagging tattoos".
          Besides, artists and do cover-up tattoos on ones that are fading or never looked good.

    Don't drink alcohol beforehand for courage. It thins your blood and makes you prone to bleed more.

    Get paw prints on your shoulder blades!

    Don't get anyone's name tattooed on you.

        There's a very good chance that he might regret it. It kinda sounds like he did it for show. I wouldn't ever get another human being's name tattooed on my person.

      Actually, I got my girlfriend's name tattooed on the head of my penis! Best decision ever honestly! It swelled up a little bit and for a little while my Johnson started turning green, but after I went to the doctor and got antibiotics, it's fine! Couldn't be happier!

      To be honest, I think the end of the dick is the BEST place on the body to get a tattoo. Highly recommend it honestly! Though, I have to say it sure does hurt like a motherfucker getting it there. Holy shit, nearly passed out from the pain in the studio, but it was very well worth it IMO.

    Tattoos are ugly. They make you look like a low rent paying person. Especially when girls get them. Some girls are hot but then they have tattoos and it ruins them.

    About just getting one -
    If this is a spur of the moment thing and you are not real sure what to get or where, then hold off. I would say six months to a year would be plenty of time. I have two on my leg and had wanted both for years. They are like three and four years old now and I do not regret it.

    But once you are SURE what you want and where -
    Spend the money at a good shop. Not some "My buddy does them real cheap" place." This is not the time to be thrifty. You still want a fair price but don't cheap out.

    About the pain -
    It feels like they are going over your skin with a hot needle. It is pretty uncomfy but not even close to the worst pain ever. On the chest or shoulder the pain shouldn't be too bad. Basically the more meat in an area, the less things hurt. I imagine something on the shins would be torture.
    The needle is not going real deep so it is not like when you get blood drawn (you know how icky THAT feels.)

    You don't even know where you want your tattoo to be? You shouldn't even be getting one!!
