Isabel Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 How small can you get a portrait tattoo? My mom said for my 18th birthday she would pay for my first tattoo so I'm getting it of either this picture or this one. But I really don't want it to be very big..... I either want it on the back of my solder or on my lower back. Well, the pictures you have in mind are particularly detailed and small tattoos which are very detailed can shrink and become blurred over time, unfortunately. What sort of size had you planned on?
TAG Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 Love it!! Must have hurt though! ahh it wasnt THAT bad lmao
Isabel Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 ahh it wasnt THAT bad lmao Really?? It looks like a painful spot
Izzard Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 Well, the pictures you have in mind are particularly detailed and small tattoos which are very detailed can shrink and become blurred over time, unfortunately. What sort of size had you planned on? I was hoping for nothing bigger then the size of my hand, so that if I put my whole hand on my lower back or back of my shoulder that's how much space it would take up...in my opinion that's not overly small, but I'm not sure when it comes to tattoos
TAG Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 Really?? It looks like a painful spot aww it was a little painful hehe but any tattoo is normally painful!! hehe

I hate the nerves before you get it.

True, well I hope it all works out...I doesn't have to have every detail in it...close but not every small bit. ------------------------ Does anyone know how much it would cost with out the hourly rate? Or like a general idea? It doesn't have to be spot on I just need a price range to wrap my head around.
Holly Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 My Dad was just joking about getting a tattoo of a face on this massive lump he has on his arm and he was like, 'the only way I'll find someone to do it is if I go to a dodgy tattoo parlour' so then I said if he is going to one of those I can go get one done too because they won't ID me But then we ended up in a slight argument because I told them I will definitely be getting a tattoo when I turn eighteen and that I'm going to be getting a Green Day related one. But at least I've told them now, they can't stop me

iwannabetheminority:) Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 I want to get a tattoo on my hips like: Rage 01.11.09 Love 19..06.10 The 2 days i've seen/will be seeing them live It's hard to get a tattoo at 16 though, so I might have to wait a while

leacalifornia Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 ^^^ awesome BJ tattoo!! -"Are You Dying?" Behind my ear (from Rotting; not decided on left or right) -"BANG BANG!!" on the inside of my right pointer finger (from Holiday) -And finally, an anchor on my right forearm with the Muse lyrics "This ship is taking me far away" I love these three ideas!!

I love the Day of the Dead-esque skulls! I've been drawing all the little tattoos I want on my hands on with sharpie lately and my mom is so pissed!
Ila Reto Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 lol i have yet another idea for a tattoo (nobody take it! its MINE! lol) okay so there's a little whote puppy on the Shenanigans inlay, it resembles the one from the Dookie cover so i want to get him, either holding the time bomb from the dookie inlay or with the Dookie explosion on his belly. its SO cute!
colormestoopid Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 I've posted my tattoos in the other Tattoo thread but not this one. Got em done in February for my birthday right by my wrists. My friend took the picture when I got home that day and they were still icky and fresh. Obviously they are healed now but I haven't been able to take a picture because I would need my hands to do that haha. I got to show them to Billie last week at AI and told him how I much more I was determined to get them after I played on stage and he had the biggest smile on his face <3
