this is gonna be (already is) sick as hell! damn…can't wait to get mine done
meeting with my artist in the morning and besides that, my girl is getting another one on her left forearm! might post pics soon
I was about to list of some 'do this/don't do this' about going for a tattoo and thought better of it.
Everyone is different and takes it in as such. Let your artist guide you through it and enjoy the experience. For me it is almost meditative…which is not to say it is comfortable, because it isn't. I love mine and regret none of them. If anyone tells you it is a passing fad, they're ignorant. Tattooing pre-dates Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. Ancient Egyptians tattooed, as did the Vikings. Tattoos are here to stay. Pretty cool to be taking part in a tradition that is older than written history.
Looking forward to hearing about your first and seeing some pics.

I try not to preach my views about style and placement, but I do have one piece of advice regarding tattoos:
Do it because YOU want it, NOT to impress others. Ask yourself: if no-one ever saw your tattoo, would you still be happy with it - if yes, then you're on a winner. Be honest with yourself.
that is all!

Ötzi the Iceman had tattoos, which correspond to acupuncture points. He also predated all of the above that CLJ mentioned.
At 5300 years old, they're the earliest known tattoos. It's obviously a very long running fad.
