I suppose everybody has a different pain threshold... but im quite certain anyone could sit through a tattoo... and after a couple, im sure just about anyone could fall asleep during one.. |

Yeah I probably would agree.............I have around 8 tattoos and a large tribal colour sun on the back just under the neck and between my shoulders.....also have multiple tattoos on both arms and shoulders...... . Have the large Chi symbol - Universal Life Force on my right arm.
Seriously, once you start, you want more........

I'm sort of considering getting a small tattoo in about 6 months, when I get my black belt.
I'm considering a Japanese symbol, probably from one of these lists:
http://www.stockkanji.com/Martial+Arts.htm
http://www.stockkanji.com/Motivational.htm
I might get a small Southern Cross with it as well, to combine the two interests
I'm not sure where to put it yet either.. shoulder, chest, ankle...

My personal thoughts would be to get it rather large down the side of your torso... The ribs are sensitive, but if you can discipline your mind enough to master your form of martial arts, you can focus your way through a little pain.. Kanji looks really good when its big and bold too....
Just think about it, it will come to you, and you'll know where you want it.
So you get your black belt in 6 months time do you? Congratulations will be in order indeed..

Hi Mike, Alex is right the placement of a tatt will just pop into your head one day and you'll know exactly where it is meant to go. You've got plenty of time to have a good think about. A good trick is to get a copy of what you want and enlarge it to different sizes then you can place then around your body and see how it will look before it's permanent.
Also a good idea to see how it looks in different colours other than traditional black. Reds and blues can always give things a different look.
Hi Humayan, the small of your back is ok, it's when you get near the kidneys that it starts to tickle.
As for the ribs down the side that really tickles.
Cheers

I didn't want anyone's art on my body so I designed my own full chest and back. Not stars, but futuristic biomechanical warriors with big guns.
I actually fell asleep getting mine, as Inspector Morse was on the television in front of me. The Tattooist slapped me on the back of the head and said he wasn't allowed to tattoo anyone whilst asleep.

Good to hear someone else draws up their own ink.. Im not keen on getting other peoples artistic expression on my body.. If its part of me for the rest of time, it will be part of me to begin with..
