Tattoo tomorrow!

stillwaiting12 · March 2011

I'm pretty freakin' nervous! I NEVER thought I would ever get a tattoo. Not that I don't like them, I just know I am a giant chicken. Plus I always wondered what would happen if I didn't like it later in life etc... But, since I am getting Addyston's footprints with tiny little angel wings on the top of my foot, I at least know it's not one I will regret later! My appointment is tomorrow at 3 so I have less than 24 hours to back out!

So, those of you with tattoos, tell me to suck it up and quit being a baby!

Suck it up and quit being a baby. Although, in all honesty, the top of your foot is going to be more painful than getting it on a part of your body with more fat. So if you are going to rethink anything, I would just rethink the location.

I am so looking forward to my next two tattoos! I am waiting until I finish nursing so I am hoping to have them both done by the end of the year.

I have a tramp stamp, lol. I'm a huge wuss and it wasn't so bad. You will be fine!
Just wanted to add I LOVE that... One of my friends lost her son at 23 weeks and had his footprint tattoo on her foot... She has a beautiful 8 wk old daughter now and they took a picture of Moms feet, with her daughters feet..right by the tattoo. Most beautiful picture EVER!!!

I have a small tattoo on the top of my foot. It was definitely bearable though. Sort of felt like scratching on a sunburn. I say go for it! Your idea sounds super cute.

You should definitely post a picture after you get it done!

I have a pretty decent sized tattoo covering the top of my right foot. I'm not going to lie, there are going to be places that h.u.r.t.

But in the end, its only moments of irritating discomfort and I am sure you will be so pleased with the results!

Be sure to post a picture!

What a wonderful story!

And Stillwaiting, I pray you will get to do the same. While you never thought you would be a "tattoo person" I promise you'll love this tribute to your little girl.

You can do it!! I have 2 tattoos a small one on my hip and a larger one on my lower back that took about 2-3hours to do and I promise its not that bad. Its more of an annoying discomfort than horrible pain-- cant wait to see the pics!

I have three and not gonna lie they hurt. But only while it is being done. Just think of the out come the pain will only last a few mins. You can do it! Post pics when you get it done!!
