That dragonfly looks so real. As if it could just lift off and fly away. The artist did a great job. My daughter has about 5 tattoos and my son has one. I can’t even think about the pain. I doubt I will ever have one.
Depends on where you get it. Some people say the ones close to the bone hurt more. I say the ones that are one the fleshy/meaty parts hurt more. You could always get a tiny one to see if you can tolerate it. I can tolerate it for some time and then I start losing it. That’s usually around 4 hours in or so. The quick ones don’t bother me at all.
I have a problem with infection besides pain. My daughter, who has around 5, had at least one get infected. She is a lot like me. She couldn’t get her ears pierced either, due to infection. She finally had to let them close.
My daughter was determined to be tatooed and she continued on. I get infected from minor cuts. I would never attempt it even if I wasn’t afraid of the needle part of it.
Hey!!!! I love tattoos. I can’t stand the pain though. So I just got my son who has a gun to give me a pearl bracelet on my wrist. Haha that hurt bad enough. 🙃. Me my husband and all five of our kids and two daughters in law, all have tattoos of some sort or other. It’s wonderful really.
I have quite a few. I don’t mind the pain. For some of my bigger ones I have gotten to the point at the end that I have almost lost my shit, because I lose tolerance after 4 or 5 hours.
My last one was really long. From the time I got to the studio, planned the drawing, had it all drawn by the artist, then done, I was there for 12 hours!!!!!1
Oohhhh. I’d be sick by then just the trying of my patience of it all. Wow. I say good for you. You really have a determination that’s important everywhere!! You are real courageous. 👍. I’d love to see that one 😳😀
I will take a photo and see how to send it to you. I may have to post it?!?! I guess it would be good to post with an exclamation of why I got it….Stay tuned! Lol!
You have to really love dragonflies to get a tattoo so big and bold in such a prominent location–I love it. The colors remind me a lot of a male Common Green Darner, like the one in this posting that I did last year. https://michaelqpowell.com/2019/09/27/rainbow-dragonfly-2/

Completely agree tattoos are not for everything (I can’t decide what I want. Your artwork is awesome.

Yes, you do have to be careful because some skin doesn’t like the ink. If it is a concern it is best to avoid it.
