Wow, that's very nice. How many sessions?

Believe it or not she did hers in one marathon session. Took well over 4 hours in the chair. She said the shading was the worst part.

Note: That picture is not of my wife.. Her's is pretty similar though.

Yes. 🙂 Size, color, detail and bargaining factor all come into play. I have tats yet I agree with the prepare to be judged comments. If you want one, get one. Just get it somewhere that it cannot be seen while wearing a long sleeved shirt.

Mine isn't covered if the only thing I'm wearing is a long sleeved shirt.

But most people never see it.

Tats have lost their "mojo" if you will. When I was in my 20's (let's just say 1980's time period, okay?) a guy in his 30's with multiple tats had stories to tell for each one. Real stories, not "Dude, I was like, in the mall and then I was like, just well "whatever" and me and my bud got some tats...it's like real meaningful to me. And stuff." 🙄

And chicks w/tats has gotten WAY WAY out of hand. Tramp stamps used to be just that; a sure-fire "I can bend this girl over in the parking lot" stamp of approval. Now every minivan mommy that wants to pretend she's "slutty" has one. And the college girls that get them? A quick trip to the Bangbus would set them back on the first Greyhound bus home to Momma. Wannabe slutlets need not apply.

What I'm trying to say is "POSER!" (That's an 80's heavy metal term...look it up.)

don't mind jules, he takes every opportunity to go into every tattoo thread and tell all tattooed persons how stupid they are. he hates them so much, you would think he would avoid the threads, but that's just not his style. 🙄
 
Yes I do. On my left inside forearm.

The OP asked a question. Don't like my answer? Then don't ask the question.

I didn't ask you to like my response but don't belittle me because you don't like it.

I personally think any tattoo mars and distracts from the natural beauty of a person. Of everyone. Hell I think that about any piercing, even "normal" ear rings, on a person as well. While I think that and it is my opinion I am not going to force my views on others. Heck, my fiancee has a lip and tongue piercing that while I personally don't find all that attractive, I am not going to tell her to remove them either.

So it's ok for you to belittle people that have tattoos, but you get your panties in a bunch when someone belittles you for a post on an internet message board?

😕
 
Wanted one for a long time, but kinda got over it. I never found anything I would really want forever inked on me.
 
I have 8 currently. Got the first one a little less than 6 years ago. Will probably get 2 more. All of them are covered if I wear long sleeves. Only one becomes visible with short sleeves on, two more if I wear shorts. The last one I got is about a year and a half old now. The main ones I don't get is people who get neck tattoos.
