How to get a tattoo
It made me
Happy!
 "I couldn't make up my mind! I love so many things... what to do."
How I did it: I started to collect pics of cool art and tattoos. I learned what a good line looked like and how tattoos fade. I finally decided on a Mehndi (henna tattoo) inspired look. actually designed two tattoos. I loved the last design, but the outline was complicated for a tattoo.Once I had the outline finished, I made copies and colored it in many times. I then looked on the internet to find an artist to do the Tattoo. Lessons & tips: 1.Make sure your first one is in a spot you can cover. I love mine, but you may not like it. Resources: Talk to people with tattoos!

How I did it: After thinking about getting a tattoo for over a year, I finally decided to do it at Nemesis, a tattoo parlor in downtown Iowa City. I knew I wanted the phrase "We Accept the Love We Think We Deserve" but I didn't just want to get a quote. The hardest part was finding the right image to put with it. I talked with my friend about it because I wanted something that showed growth and even resiliency but I wasn't quite sure what would do that… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I thought about it for a long time and ended up getting a hand-written phrase on the outside of my left foot. I love the placement, but I have to get it retouched more often than you would a normal tattoo because it's close to the sole of my foot and fades easier. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I got it at jade dragon tattoo on April 4th 2009. I went with my friend and talked to one of the artists and he made me feel comfortable. We talked about how big it should be and the position of the tattoo on my hip. He created a template and then sketched it on my hip. Read how I did it…

How I did it: For starters, I'm an artist so I designed most of my Tattoos... this is great because I know that they are one of a kind!! When I turned 18 I knew I was going to get a tattoo, but "what to get???" A year before I turned 18 I started brainstorming and designing what I wanted and once I thought I was sure, I hung it in my room and waited 6 months. I knew waiting that long would be very difficult, so I did it before I turned 18 so I wo… Read how I did it…

I’m thinking of writing: “I am my worst enemy. I am my best friend.” This is to remind me that only I can stop myself from achieving anything I want to in life. And as for the best friend part, I need to love my own company. I need to love who I am (how I look, my character my personality) and ask myself if I wasn’t me would I want to hang around me? Also I need to have the same traits I look for in a best friend e.g lively, energetic, funny etc.

I want one so bad

But my mom and dad are not keen on it.
I’m thinking about getting one anyway and being really careful about hiding it.
I’m legally an adult now, and the tattoos I get will be well done so I won’t regret them later.

Currently I have three tattoos.
I would like to get something that represents my mother and father, whether it’s a symbol of them, something they like, initials, symbolism of their character, etc.
I want a phoenix full of fire and bright colors, not just red and orange, going down my hip and back.
I have a white heart on the back of my neck (real simple) and want to cover it or work off of it.
Simple ideas for now, definitely want to branch out more. I have plenty of time though, considering I’m low on cash..hah.

Thing is… a tattoo is an extremely serious thing, and I’m not getting one until I’m sure that it’s exactly what I need and that it will have a deep meaning to me. Well… trufax – I’m going to get like… half of my body covered in tattoos one day… and there will be at least one dragon. I have this thing for dragons. Not tribal designs, not tigers, not flowers or butterflies [uuuuggghhh], but chinese dragons. You know, REAL Chinese dragons. I also want that tattoo to have kanji characters, and I already know WHAT characters and WHY I’m getting them. So… yeah. The problem is GETTING it. For certain reasons, it will have to wait some time. Like… a longer period of time than pretty much all the people here.
