Durability-wise? Pain-wise? Covering or showing-wise? Where did you inked your first one?
I mean, I only have one and it’s on my wrist and I didn’t feel anything, so that spot was good.
Some place where they proofread
Random, but I got my first tattoo on the inside of my forearm and my wife loves it because she can see it while I drive. I got it before I even met her, but it worked out in my favor lol.
Definitely pick a spot based on the tattoo you want. Mine fit best horizontally because it’s clipped from a Calvin & Hobbes panel. Like others have mentioned, if you’re shy about having one, consider something easily covered vs somewhere less painful.
Mine was one my back. It’s my only one and I often forget about it because I never see it. I’ll catch it in a mirror and stop and take a look.
Anywhere easy to hide, definitely.
And no names unless it’s your kids.
Eyes.
Go fuckin’ big.
I still regret not doing it before I met my spouse; the idea gives them panic attacks because it squicks them out so much, but it’s one thing I’ve wanted to be able to do for 30+ years, a solid 10 years before it was even first done. Finally had my chance when I got divorced from my ex-, but met my current (hopefully final) spouse too soon to do more than email the one artist globally that I actually to do it. (FWIW, that artist is Luna Cobra).
JFC don’t do this. It’s so very dangerous.
