Hey everyone,
As the title says, this thread is all about tattoos and ink. I'm surprised there isn't one already, to be honest, so here we go. I think getting a tattoo is an important decision to make and one that you don't want to regret especially if it's colored lol
So let's share our experience with body ink and help anyone thinking about getting one. Posting pictures is a plus of course!
Feel free to discuss tattoo placements (body part obviously lol) , pain, prices, aftercare, reasons for getting a tattoo (if any), tattoo meaning (again, if any) and anything that might come along with tattoos (socially, professionally...)
I'll start with myself. I got a tattoo 4 years ago on my right foot. Reasons why I got it? Nothing really. It's a tribal seahorse. Seahorses are just fascinating, especially the males. Male seahorses carry their babies until their birth and take care of them even after that, while the female seahorse wanders off like a true whore lol
This is a sign of true affection imo, and since I happen to be an affectionate and emotional person myself, I decided to go with a seahorse.
With that being said, let's talk about the pain. Pain really depends on different factors really. In my case, it was unbearable. Worst pain I have ever experienced. I hadn't eaten anything all day, I was stressing out, and it was scorching hot outside. Plus, the foot has to be one of the worst body parts (yet one of the sexiest imo lol) to get it tatted. Why is it so bad? Simple. Its bony structure, and (for the people with minimal anatomy knowledge), the lateral and intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerves as well as the small saphenous and lateral marginal veins. (aka, most important nerves and veins in the foot lol). So not only will the pain be atrocious, the bleeding will be scary lol
I paid 145$ for it. It's probably a 12x5cm (length/width), but then again, the price also depends on different factors, such as the artist's reputation, the kind of ink used (don't expect a colored tattoo to be as cheap as a plain black one).
The aftercare. Keep it away from sunlight and don't apply any kind of pressure on it for the first few days. I had to wear flip flops for almost a week and used a thin layer of a lotion called Bepanthen, 3 times a day until the skin peeled off (yes it peels off lol). Kept applying the ointment for almost a month. Then after that, it felt like it was never there in the first place
I don't think it'll affect me in anyway because I barely see it myself. Very few people got the chance to see it, other than that, I sure as hell won't be going to brag about it to anyone like "Dude, check out my tattoo!" , take off my shoe and stick my foot in their face hahaha
Hope this helps!
