I'm hoping to get my first tattoo this winter: I want a Capricorn symbol on my foot or my ankle, and the other foot/ankle will later have a rooster or a crane.
The Capricorn is obviously because I'm one, being a late December birthday. As for the rooster/crane, I was born in that Chinese zodiac year, though I need to see which it is and how it's traditionally drawn for my tattoo.
Anyway, I could use some advice on the process!
I'm not really sure what to ask. I've already sent in a list of questions, but I'd like more points of view on some of the stuff.
For example, the pain. What's it feel like? I've heard mixed messages about it. Some say it tickles, some say it hurts a lot, some say it hurts a little, and some say it's just like being poked a lot. I'm really not sure who to believe!
I used to have a fear of needles. It's gone for the most part, partially from age and partially from being stuck with needles so much due to medical stuff.
I'd like some view points on the pain. What was it like for you?
Also, I'd LOVE to see some pictures of everyone's tattoos!
All advice and anything really is loved!
