Shenna! I love it! How did it feel on the top of the foot?

That's the funny part, the family that has seen it approves of it. It's people who don't know the reason that don't....and once they learn they still disgrace my father by being douchebags. But I did learn a lesson. Don't ask anything important and don't post pictures. Ever.

Pocket: It seriously wasn't as bad as I'd thought it'd be. I'd even consider extending it after a while.

Yokuutsu: Well, so long as your loved ones approve it. Other people don't really matter in the long run... but you already knew that!

I've been wanting to get one for a while... Recently I even decided what to get and I have the sketch, the hard part is saving the money long enough that I can actually go to a tattoo shop. o 3o'
Hopefully soon I'll be getting it.

Depending on the size, it isn't terribly expensive, but I do suggest going to a reputable tattoo parlor. It may cost more, but I've had no issues with my tattoo so far (even though it's been only a few days since I got it), the place was clean, the people were helpful... You don't have to go someplace you don't like the vibe of.

I considered going to someplace closer to my house and when I discovered they weren't open, I decided that was enough of a deciding factor to go to the place my cousin got hers. I'm happy I did. I don't know what the interior of the first place looked like, but I am thrilled that I went with a more reputable place.

That's great! It's really beautiful. & it has so much meaning for you. Congrats!

I have no tattoos, myself.

I cannot second the comment about going to a reputable shop. and if you don't like the vibe, get out!! my Hobbes was done by an amazing artist whom worked with me to get it just right, he was personable and nice, and in the end it didn't cost much at all! Maleficent...I went to the 'popular' store, it was awful. The artist was an a$$hat, the atmosphere was terrible, and it cost me three times as much as the one right below it, and the artist did nothing but make the transfer and put it on.

I've never seen a foot tattoo before! O 3O

That's a really nice tattoo, though. I think you chose well. :3

Fey, just because it is popular doesn't mean its reputable. Look, rather, at how long the business has been there or how veteran the artist is. The owner of the shop I went to has been an artist for ten years.

EDIT: To Dem, Holly, and Neirra, thank you.

sadly, it'd been there for ages, had a lot of vetran artists, but it was just not a 'me' place. They didn't like what I was getting, they didn't like that I already had the art, they wanted me to use their ideas, their art and their artists. Too bad so sad for them, I've never gone back and warned a lot of the locals not to head that way.

*snorts* they failed to realize that just because its a tattoo parlor doesn't make it any less a service industry. The customer is usually right. Mine was willing to work with me and offer placement and size suggestions.

thats a nice tattoo but i don't think i would ever get one.

@Fey
Well, at least you should be guaranteed something unique if you go there and let them do it?

I picked something out of the book....because I'm not too good with drawing...but I can rarely if ever find something online that I like.

Why not, Feyth? And I'm not berating you. I'm just asking.

Yoku, my symbol literally came from an online catalogue from James Avery's website. Sometimes unoriginal is a good thing.

That's very pretty. c:
I'd like to get a tattoo when I'm older.
I don't know what I'd like yet, but I'll think of one eventually. x3
