hahahaha thats classic, how did you link it like that? sweet as a moose! And yeah, to the OP, seriously, you shouldn't ask other people for ideas regarding something your going to be stuck with forever. I know your looking for ideas, but your already on the internet, so get some ideas then go talk to your artist about it. It's your life,skin and body, so be 100% sure you really want one and it's not just a fashion or trend thing.

might i be as bold to suggest asking on an irish board than a body modification board,

you wont be about to get

"fake it till you make it" exactly because of the way the irish language works

itll be SOMETHING like

"déan bréagach as" which is literly "make it fake"

Somehow, I don't think the OP is coming back

Is this what we've become

But if they do decide to come back they have been given good advice. It's for life, so take the necessary time to get it right, for you!

Meh, I don't have any tattoo's, but I reckon if you're going to go for one, you should have a big long think about it, and not go by suggestions of other people.. Otherwise you'll end up with something meaningless..

I have a raido with a swirl design behind it that I'm trying to turn into a phoenix (which I think fits well with what I'm trying to say with it). Unfortunately the swirl is a little bigger than i initially wanted (or i need more muscles!!!) so my advice is that if what you are getting done is in parts just be clear about proportions! Especially since its your first one and you dont know how sore its going to be for you.

I like that you've only managed to express input on this website 25 times in the last 2 years and I'm going to imagine that most of that is uninformative, sarcastic and generally negative.

Has anyone ever heard that if a girl gets a tattoo on her back, that it may prevent them from every getting the epidural anaesthetic in the future, for example during childbirth??

wow, I don't think so! In fact I'd have to dispute that completely given what a tattoo really is and what such and anesthetic's purpose is! I guess if it were fresh it might be a bad idea, but if your talking about a healed tattoo then I see no reason why it could not be applied.

Thanks, Dilligaf. I haven't been able to get any evidence to either confirm or dispute it. Just trying to cover all bases beforehand!

Think it's one of those urban legend rumours that you hear to be honest.

bullcrap, you can get an epi, docs say you cant but it's about having a competant doctor, they say it purely cuz with ink they may not be able to see very well where the needle goes, cuz it has to go in pretty deep to a very specific area...

Some doctors will refuse to put an epi through a tattoo. They fear that ink will be pushed into the spine by the needle. This is not just relevant to epi's some doctors will not operate where tattooed skin needs to be opened. This is not a myth. I have come across a lot of cases regarding this. It is down to the Doctors not being trained enough in dealing with tattooed skin, this is now changing due to the popularity of large tattoos in the last couple of years.

that sorta covers what i said, apart from the ink pushing bit...

it's like a year or so ago, I was told no doctor or dentist would go near my mouth or tonsils, cuz my mouth is a harbour for disease, actual quote, cuz i have my tongue done, I've since found out that's also bullcrap!
