I mean, I only have one and it’s on my wrist and I didn’t feel anything, so that spot was good.

I asked about getting one to cover up my open heart surgery scar.

“You know that’s really going to hurt, right?”

“More or less than open heart surgery?”

“. . . Good point.”

Turned out, the top 1/2 of the scar is too bumpy to take ink well, the bottom 1/2 too squishy. So still just a scar. :( or is that :) ?

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.

Probably a tattoo parlour

Somewhere uncomfortable, like the back of a Volkswagen.

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.

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).
