How to get a tattoo on my wrist
It made me
excited
 "It was exciting, made me feel like I'm taking more ownership over my body and what I want to do with it, and the symbol I got (a lotus) is a constant reminder for me."
How I did it: I had been thinking about getting a tattoo for probably a year before any real discussion of it materialized. The decision was made on a whim with two of my friends from college, and we went out and got them a few days later! It did hurt, but definitely not unbearable--like someone else wrote, it's a bit of a shock at first but it stops hurting as soon as they take off the needle and then it just stings for a while. Make sure to leave the bandage on, and after you take it off lotion/wash it properly. |

How I did it: I have to travel to get my work done. I knew what I wanted and she drew it out right there. So I walked in and got it done. Hour later I was driving again! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I carried a photo of the symbol in my wallet for months. I got the tattoo the day I ran the Coeur d'Alene 1/2 Marathon. I put it on my wrist to serve as a reminder of who I really am at the core, despite life's distractions and confusion. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I found a design and I waited - for a loong time. The least amount of time recommended is 1 year.=) There's no reason why I waited so long, I just didn't get myself to do it. And now, 1 week ago on vacation in Poland, I did it!=) Read how I did it…
How I did it: I spent about 2-3 months going over my design and figuring out exactly which version I wanted. I spent a LOT of time thinking about this, and making sure that it was something meaningful and personal to me. I didn't tell anyone about it except my mum and one or two people at work (who are into piercings/tattoos anyway). The reason being that I wanted to make absolutely sure that I wasn't even subconsciously doing this to impress anyo… Read how I did it…

My cousin and I are going to check out some tattoo shops in town on my lunch tomorrow. If it’s going to ve visible, I need to make sure that it’s done by someone with tallent.
well, how things have changed. nursing school plans changed to Physician Assistant school plans, which then changed to “let’s wait and see” plans. i’m totally at peace with this, but yeah.. my plan to get a wrist tattoo get put on hold too. i did quit my job, but now i’m in another corporate environment, albeit a more relaxed one.
the desire is still there, and i think i’ve come up with a good idea too. the hebrew word “chesed” which means grace/mercy/lovingkindness. it doesn’t have a direct translation to english, but it is demonstrated in God’s unchanging and unending grace displayed towards the Israelites of the OT. they turn away from him, forget about his goodness, but always come crawling back. God has every right to punish or kill them for their disobedience, but he always takes them back. there are consquences for sure, but he always ALWAYS takes them back. that same grace, love, and mercy is still alive today, b/c no matter what i do or how i try to run away, God always takes me back. and i know deep down that the safest and most loving place to be is beside him.
this is Chesed…
DocD is working on time travel.
While in Thailand a few months ago, I got this.
i already know exactly what i want. and i thought about it and i dont think i would ever regret this. but since tattoos are permanent, i want to wait like 2 years and see if i still feel like same…
lulubell is a very bad 43thinger but if you PM me I will add you to facebook.
think long and hard because people constantly ask you about them. Be prepared to wear long sleeved shirts in the heat if you have a conservative job. I love them though!
I haven’t been online here for a while! A loooong while, but in march 2008 I got my tattoo<3 And I love it. It is a small star on my left wrist :)
I can only recommend it, you have to be 100% certain ofc. I was, and I have no regrets. And im sure i’ll never have one :)
I got the clock from “Persistence of Memory” wrapped/”melting” around my wrist. I love it. =) And I can cover it up easily with my wide beaded bracelet if necessary.
I hope I will get this done by the end of summer. I’m getting my name in indian writing (gujarati). I’ve planned this for about 5 years, so I’m extremely confident that this is what I want.=)
I want to get ‘Love Life’ done in cursive on the bottom side of my wrist. But I can’t even touch that part of my arm because the veins gross me out… I want Love Life because it is my favorite song by Atmosphere
worth doing it as long as it’s meaningful to you and you don’t mind a) seeing it everyday and b) having others comment and ask questions. ¦)

“I would like to know what the sensation of the needle going into the skin is like, what could it be compared to? I have no aversion to needles or blood, so be as descriptive as you please. Thankyou :)”
