hillarygayleA couple of conversations this morning revealed to me that I know absolutely nothing about the process of getting a tattoo. Will those of you who have tattoos please share stories with me? First tattoo, best or worst experience, what to wear, how long it took for a tattoo of how many colors or what size, whether yours was broken down into different sessions, etc. Anything you think that a total tattoo virgin should know.
Pertinent info: I plan on getting a compass ross on my back, centered approximately between my shoulderblades. It will be the size of my palm and circled by the words "I ain't waiting for the world to change; gonna change the world for you..." I'm going to talk it over with the tattoo artist & decide on what colors would work best on my skin, how many colors, etc. I have the pain tolerance of a slab of granite and no fear of needles, but I do not know what a tattoo needle is like.
Thanks for the help!
