Can we talk tattoos?

BathingInBitter · August 2010

I already have 5 and have been contemplating getting another one on my foot. I would love to have a butterfly to represent my angel babies along with the word Faith in pretty writing.

Do any of you have a tattoo on your foot and how bad did it hurt?

Bella2u07 · August 2010

Love your idea!

I have a quarter size hibiscus flower on my right foot. It didn't hurt too bad, it felt like a lot of little, fast pinches over a short period of time. My tattoo only has 2 colors (2 versions of pink) and not it's not solid, outline w/shadow outline, so I think that might have had something to do with ip and the bottle of wine I drank, lol.

The people I talked to before I got it told me not to b/c it hurts like hell, but I really do think it depends on the size, the detail and placement on the foot.

I hope I was some help. Good luck!

You did help! Thank you! I guess I look at it this way, if I can stick myself in the ass and thighs with needles to have a baby, I can most certainly get a tattoo on my foot.

I've been looking for ideas, I found a "believe" one that i really like, so now I need to make up my mind.

I would love to see your tattoo. Do you have a picture of it?

Bella2u07 · August 2010

I'm happy that I was some help.

I agree, if we can go through anything to do with IF, we can go through anything else during our life.

I would love to see a picture of your idea. I do have a picture of mine, I will have to email it to you though. PM me your addy?

You have a PM and I'm looking for the one I found that I liked... I should have saved it.

Tattoo of Believe

I could use the butterfly and have it sitting on the F in faith instead of using the word believe.. but I also like the word believe...

Amie8301 · August 2010

I don't have any tattoos or advice, but have been contemplating getting one more and more these days. I would love to have "This too shall pass" somewhere, but I just can't think of anywhere I would really like...

Anyway, I'm interested to hear what others say, and good luck with your decision!!

I have a snow flake on the inside of my left ankle, it didn't hurt that bad.

I want to get a tattoo on my inside of my right forearm of a sparrow to symbolize our journey. But I am too chicken right now...

I would pick the tatt with the word believe, but faith is good too. Little tough decision.

I have a large one on the top of my foot. I got it about 9 years ago. It wasn't too bad at all. It hurt less than the one on my back, which is on my spine.?

Go for it! You'll be fine. The only thing I don't like about it is when I get dressed up with nice shoes, it always shows. Sometimes I wish I could cover it up a little better. ?

BathingInBitter · August 2010

Grazy - you have a great point! Now to rethink this!

I think that I do like the word believe better. Hmmm...decisions decisions.

You having tattoos im sure you know that the pain is different for everyone. GL

Mrs.AmandaMqn · August 2010

I'm contemplating getting my first pretty soon and I am really excited!

GL, you have to share a pic of it if/when you get it done!

Rachael07.07.07 · August 2010

I don't have one on my foot...my ankle was the furthest down I got. I'm sure at some point I'll get one there though. I have two more tattoos that I've been thinking about for the last few years.

I like your idea for the new one. Let us know how it goes if you get it!

My foot wasn't too bad but it definitely hut more than my wrist and back. I think that sounds like a beautiful tattoo idea

Saratogabride08 · August 2010

I love getting tattoos, I only have 2, but my DH and I always talk about getting another one! The one on my lower spine did hurt- IMO the fattier the area, the less painful

DeputiesWife · August 2010

I have 2 cala lillies on my foot. It didnt hurt too terribly bad. Just an annoying feeling. its small -- took maybe 45 minutes. That sounds like a beautiful idea.

I have five butterflies starting on my foot and going up my leg representing loved ones who passed away. Everyone kept saying the foot would hurt, but it wasn't that bad. Honestly the only bad part was that my reflexes kept making me twitch and since the whole tattoo was so large it took so long my body got tired. I think you should go for it!

I have one on my toe. It's pretty small (like a toe ring), but it didn't hurt at all! The only draw back is that with feet/toes etc., your run the risk of the color fading more quickly. I actually had to sign a waiver saying that I understood that they couldn't guarantee the work like they had with my others.

But I have had it for over ten years now, and I think it still look alright.
