First tattoo

4 messages · last activity 3/1/2009

Ok, so im getting a tattoo for my birthday coming up and i really want to get it on my ribs. it's my first tatoo and im pretty nervous about the pain. it has a special meaning to me so should i just go for it? Suggestions please?
Go for it...If you wan't something bad enough,you'll endure the pain.The most important thing is to go to shops,and look at portfolios,and find the artist that does good work,and that you feel comfortable with.Make some consultations[their free} with the artists who's work you like,and discuss what you wan't,and get a feel for what artist you feel a connection with. Remember,if you are so concerned about the pain,it's probably going to hurt more.Just focus on your breath,and don't fight the pain.
And here are some shops in Omaha that do good work. www.liquidcourageomaha.com www.bigbrainomaha.com omahatattoo.com
