Ahhh. I never got into WoW but played EQ for 8 or 9 years. Sorry for the OT.

Anywho…I am still nervous and counting down the hours till I go in today.

Or is that out of order?

I know it's probably different for everyone, but in my experience you get kind of numb after the needle is on you for a bit... so I would want to do it all at once. Otherwise, you have to go in with fresh skin again- or healing skin, and that would hurt even worse.

Do any of you have text tattoos? If so, where? I am planning a text tat for my birthday, but I am trying to figure out where to get it.

I don't have any text tattoos, though I'm considering getting one. I saw one woman with one at the base of her neck and it looked pretty cool.

All done ladies!!! It was painfuly awfuly hurty. I originally wanted to leave space under the flower for water at a later date but omg it hurt so much...i'm not sure if I can do anymore.

That's awesome- congrats on your first tatt!!

And you say that now.... but it's just like childbirth- you will forget the pain soon enough and want to do it all over again. Tatts are addicting!

Beautiful!! I love it. How long did it take?

[TexasMum]

I have a text tattoo at the base of my neck, like my collar bone in script that says "Pro-Life". I also have alot of text inside of banners all over my body. Like my kids names, husbands name, mom, Texas, love, hate, just to name a few. I like banners for words personally.

[CanidFL]

Thanks ladies. It took about 2 hours with a few 1-2 minute breaks.

I'm still adjusting to the size I knew it would be big but it's an adjustment.

I just washed my tattoo this morning and my shirt was stuck to it from last night. So I soaked the shirt and gently peeled it off. Well....there was ink on the shirt! Is this normal? Does some leek out because it got stuck on? I hope I didn't mess it up by sleeping on it (I can not sleep on my tummy for the life of me).

Don't worry- it's normal! It's beautiful, btw.

[CanidFL]

Thank you.

Surprisingly, it's not all that painful anymore. I sometimes don't even feel it. It's still tender when I lean on stuff though. I am hoping for a smooth healing time! It's actually getting more pink which looks really cool.

[oceanwinds]

You all have some beautiful work!

Here are my latest...

The one on my foot I am not really happy with. I had wanted to get the two numbers in the middle with a solid black ribbon around it. He drew it up with the numbers through the ribbon. It looked pretty good in the drawing, but I don't like how it turned out. Any ideas on how to fix it?

I am still trying to figure out where to put my text tattoo. My birthday is in a couple of weeks and I want to get it as a birthday present for myself. Please please share your ideas for placement of text?

It's going to say:

Alis Volat Propiis

I have three tats planned and one will be text (although not in Roman alphabet) written vertically down the side of my abdomen, along my obliques. Wrapped around limbs, and draped around the abdomen (either in front from hip to hip or across the tramp-stamp area) also work well, IMO.

Lovely phrase of choice, BTW!

Thanks. I am a very very homesick Oregon girl who has lived away from home for too long, and that's the state motto.

Placements I am considering are the top of my foot, the back of my neck, over one of my hips, and my lower back (I have a tramp stamp already, so it would have to be worked in somehow).

I saw a text tat on a foot and it was amazing!

[CheapPearls]

I'm here!

I think on the foot would look awesome for a text tattoo. I have text on my left forearm that says "love laugh live". One day I will have full arm sleeves that are at least 90% text (the other 10% is going to be simple black and white designs like a peace symbol and stars).

Only one tattoo right now because I've either been pregnant or broke the last 4 years. I do have my ears pierced: 6g, 8g and 10g. I retired my navel and industrial piercings. I really miss my industrial, I regret taking it out. Maybe I'll get it done again one day. I'm hoping to get my nose pierced soon. Anyone know a good piercer/tattoo artist in Austin?
