Oops sorry, didn't realise!

My sis said it doesn't hurt that much but she has loads!! :eek:

Star Lord

Thanks Thaed

Bubblewrap it really comes down to your own personal pain threshold.
In general tattoos are sore, but bearable.

DinoBot

Not that bad a spot really. Unless you have a really low pain threshold for pain that is

Well I had one on my lower back about 8 years ago and barely felt it (is only a smallish chinese symbol) but being on the inner wrist, it is all thin and veiny! :eek:

This is the smiley of the day (and my face when I am getting it done!) :eek:

My wrist was the least painful of all of mine.

bubblewrap

Aah thank you! So there is no risk of the veins being popped with the needle is there? Arteries! :eek::o

Star Lord

Don't think you've any worries as far as that is concerned

bubblewrap

I will end up fainting with thoughts like that in my head!!

Redpunto

Nope didnt hurt

Test For Echo

Got one done right round my wrist a few weeks ago. Inner (fleshy) part hurt more that the outer part of the wrist. But it's good pain and certainly wasn't unbearable! The wrist is not one of the 'painful areas' for tats so if you've got a design in mind go for it...

bubblewrap

Ah thank you all! I heard the stomach is the worst!

I'm the same as you, i have always wanted a tattoo on my inner wrist. Haven't a clue what design i want though.

bubblewrap

Well I am getting mine on Thursday so I will let you know what it was like! :eek:

I have a tattoo on my back but no one sees it, I want one people can see to show I am a big brave girl! (Even though I'm not!) :pac:

Sasaa

I got mine just a few weeks ago & well.. i think it depends on you, but.. the more u are on your inner arm the easier it is. directly on the inner wrist was a bit hurting

bubblewrap

:eek:

I want it not that close to my hand, maybe just over an inch from the wrist crease!

jim o doom

my OH got a small tattoo on her inner wrist - looks fine, she said it hurt a fair bit but not madly & it did bleed a lot.. there was white (a characters teeth) in her tattoo that had to be done several times because the blood mixed with the white ink and made it pink instead of white..

bubblewrap

*FAINT!*

Oh gosh.

The one other thing bothering me is in case I jump or move, they will need to strap me down!

heh - I'm sure you will be fine - as you aleady know it can be painful - but you went through it and are doing it again, so you should be grand!

bubblewrap

My back one didn't really hurt but I am so scared this will! My sis reckons it will take a matter of minutes so lets hope so!

Argh! :eek::D

Adiboo

Got my wrist done back in January. It hurt abit more than my forearm, but nothing too bad. Besides, it's a nice kinda pain!:P

miss enzo

i have 8 in different areas and the wrist was not even close to the worst! worst was ribs and that was still bearable!!!

Good luck if u choose to do it!!!

bubblewrap

There is no getting out, it is tomorrow and I have to give 48 hours notice for cancellation! :eek:

My sis works for them and she said the guy who is doing mine is gentle.

am i bovvered

Hi bubblewrap, I have a few tatoos and the one on my inner wrist hurt the least, I thought the same as you ....thin skin, veins, sensitive area etc... but it really wasn't sore at all. Good luck tomorrow I hope your happy with it

Excellent! Where are you getting it done?

bubblewrap

Hi,

I am in a small part of the UK so you may not know it! I am so scared now, time is ticking...

I have been reading things on the internet (silly girl) and I have been reading scary stuff like veins popping and the ink spreading because of the thin skin.

Please tell me it is safe.

Edit, thanks am i bovvered, that's made me feel better - how big is your tattoo and how long did it take?

Gauge

As long as you're going to a good, competent tattoo artist it's safe. Think of how many people have wrist tattoos! I'm pretty sure the chances of a vein popping are zero- just relax and think about the end result.

bubblewrap

I need to get the vein thoughts from my head or I will faint!!

My sister works there and highly recommends them, my dad had an excellent tat from the same guy and is going back.

This is mine, as an example: How long do you reckon?

Star Lord

20 minutes tattooing time maybe a little more?

bubblewrap

Argh, thought it would be less! :eek::o

HereticPrincess

It doesn't hurt too much.
I got one a few weeks ago on my inner wrist,
Took about 2 & a half hours.
Color barley hurts, the outline does hurt, but not badly

Heals up very well too, I love it now

*dolly*

2 and a half hours?!?! what did you get done?!

bubblewrap

Argh mine is all outline as I am having a word! :eek:

Stay calm...................:o

2 1/2 hours?! :eek:

HereticPrincess

A large stargazer, stars etc, color..
A friend from england who is a tattoo artist was in my apartment doing it, so not all of the 2 & a half hours was tattooing I guess
It was a lot more relaxed as I wasn't in a shop

bubblewrap

I felt faint booking the appointment, I am so dreading this, the horrible buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz noise.

Star Lord

The text is quite ornate, so will take a good deal of precision, and there are some thick parts to it, which will require shading. That's why I'd said 20 minutes, but bear in mind it's a total guess!

HereticPrincess

I loved getting it done

It's a bit scary starting but you gt used to the lil bits of pain.

Drink loadsa lucozade :P

bubblewrap

That is another thing that worries me, it looks too easy to go wrong! I sincerely hope he knows what he is doing!

I just don't want to end up regretting it.

I need to be strong!!!!

Lucozade is a good idea!

HereticPrincess

I had to drink loads of lucozade orange, really helps
I get dizzy when I get tattooed or pierced Lol

Star Lord

I actually quite like the buzzing sound, any time I hear it I want to get another tattoo

If the artist is as good as your sister and father claim, then I am sure that you will have no problems.

Hellrazer

Bubblewrap--you dont really sound 100% sure about going ahead with this.

Theres absolutely nothing to be nervous about.True its going to hurt a bit but theres no fear of any veins getting hit and I personally dont know anyone who fainted after getting inked.

Just go for it.And put the pics up when you get it done!!!

bubblewrap

I really really do want to go ahead, if I don't I will be letting myself down. As long as it looks good and I am happy with it, a little pain will be ok, I think....:o:eek::D

Dancor

I have a tattoo on my inner wrist simuler to the one you are getting, and to be hounest, it was the most painfull tattoo Ive gotton so far. All tattoos hurt somewhat. Its mainly your comfort zone that counts. It should take no more than 10 mins max. When its finnished you will wonder what the fuss was about and will want to get another one straight away.

bubblewrap

I have in the past had a high pain threshold but I really don't want to be saying things like that at this moment in time as it may just bite me on the bum! My back tat was absolutely painless, felt like a biro. But back skin is a lot thicker. :eek:

Star Lord

Your back also has "clusters" of nerve endings, which would hurt more... if you could withstand that without any issues, then I think you have nothing to worry about.

Don't forget to pop back tomorrow evening with pics

bubblewrap

Thank you,

I won't be able to access the net at all tomorrow but will be back Friday (hopefully!:eek::D) so I will get some pics up if I can!

I am ever so scared!! :rolleyes::pac:

bubblewrap

Right I am off in a minute, think of me tomorrow afternoon! :eek:

bubblewrap

:eek:

It's done!

Well I won't lie to you, parts of it HURT. I went all funny at the start but that was because I had worked myself up. I had a lovely lovely tattooist which helped, he took his time but gave me little breaks. I am such a wimp!

Anyway, it looks good and I am happy with it. It is just a little stingy and irritating this morning but phew, just thinking of what to get next now!
