Age for your first tattoo?

[faroukfarouk]

Well I'm doin it more for it will look beautiful.
The verse it's self is beautiful so I want it to look that way. And cherokee writing looks beautiful to me.
Plus the verse is very meaningful just like my cherokee heritage.

Presley:

So did you postpone doing it on the 19th?

Blessings.

Well, it happens.

Given up intending to do it, though?

 

[faroukfarouk]

Nope my moms tattoos have nothing to do with being cherokee lol.

And yes he is 1/2 cherokee.

Does your mom know you were delayed in getting yours?

I got my first one at 18 and as of right now, it's still my only tattoo. I am contemplating getting another though, I'm just not sure what

Gemmy: Yes, 18 is the age when so many people expect to go to the parlor to have it done (sometimes with a variety of reactions from moms), but the fact that it's a kind of rite of passage age means that the person is old enough to decide. Was yours faith based in design?

My friends older brother will do mine at the shop he works at.
..

My tattoo will be a wooden cross with a old looking bible opened up where it will say my fave bible verse.

Prestley: So you guys talked lately about your plans? getting a bit nervous, maybe?
Blessings.

Yes we talked about it. He went way with his wife for vacation so I have to wait until he comes back. Lol
But no I'm more excited than anything.

Prestley: Oh I see. Many young women would be nervous, but you seem very confident; seems like you can hardly wait to be made a tattooed young woman with testimony ink! So you probably won't use a numbing cream, either.
Blessings.

... I am contemplating getting another though, I'm just not sure what

PS: It's always best not to be in a hurry, if you're not sure. (Some posters here are very sure.) There is no harm in planning well and waiting until ready.

 

[faroukfarouk]

.. I'm more excited than anything.

PS: Prestley: You seem pretty level-headed, really; so you're sure that the excitement you're feeling isn't making you rush into getting it?

You don't seem the sort of person that rushes into doing things, anyway.

Blessings.

I'm still thinking what my first tattoo should be, I want: Icthus fish, simple cross, "saved by grace, through faith" and "pray without ceasing"

Hi Von! This looks like a great design, that would lead to a lot of conversations with people (which is what you want to happen, presumably! )

Did you check out any parlors yet?

Blessings.

 

[faroukfarouk]

I have been doing research on that and am trying to decide where I would want another tattoo if I get one.

Toska: So how are you doing? and how is your research going about a design and placement?

Blessings.

Tiasmiles24:

At 23, eh? sounds like you had a number of years as an adult to think about it, anyway; a lot of young people want to have it done at 18, and sometimes they wish they have given it more thought.

'Agape' is a word that preaches well, anyway, in a Christian context; and maybe you've had opportunity to talk to people about it.

So are you done getting inked yet?

 

[faroukfarouk]

... written in a fancy way nothing big

PS: You said ribs; but sounds like if it's small, it can't have been unbearable under the needle for so short a time...

Its not huge but it took an hour and yes it was unbearable haha, can you imagine having a needle at your ribs for an hour

I'm not done

 

[faroukfarouk]

Oh so despite it being unbearable at the time, overall you liked the experience enough to want to do it more!

It used to be a man thing. But now it's been thoroughly established as well as a womanly thing to do.

So no regrets then! are you thinking of a particular design to do next?
