New tattoo!
I've had it in my head to get a new tattoo for awhile, and I finally got it last night. I was going to wait a couple days to post pictures, but it's healing a lot faster than I thought it would (and I'm an attention whore about my tats). Behold:
It's Michelangelo's signature. I wanted to get something text based for a long time, and I wanted something based on my trip to Italy as soon as we got home. I'd bought a postcard at the Vatican with this and a bunch of other famous signatures on it, and decided it'd be cool. And I love it. Plus, my job is totally cool with visible tattoos even though it's corporate (our boss has a big one up his forearm). My boyfriend keeps saying he's not sure about me having another guy's name on me. I told him that Michelangelo was the greatest artist who has ever lived, and that he's been dead for 500 years, and that he (my boyfriend) can go ahead and get over it. (He actually does like it.)

Oh wow, that is so cool. I'm thinking about getting a small tatoo on the back of my shoulder {where I can easily cover it up}, but I'm having trouble both deciding if I should get it or not and gathering the necessary funds for it . Since I want to be a teacher it's not a good idea too have a visible tatoo while you're working, which kinda sucks, but then again a lot of people find tatoos distasteful on a woman *shrug*. Glad you got one you're happy with though ^_^.
Wow, that's cool! I've always wondered when I was older if I would consider a tattoo, xD personally I think that I'd be quite pale, and I think tattoo's look best on tanned people.
If I got one, it would be on my back or front, maybe an arm (At the top, it has more skin and would hurt less) I never thought of getting one on a wrist, I'm scared of having cuts on my wrists, because of viens being there (All over but noticable there), and I was scared incase they pierced the skin. D: *shudder* I like your one =) I think black tattoos are better than coloured ones, colour reminds me a bit of them, hold down wet and peel tattoos :p

Thanks guys!
You were scared about the veins in your wrist getting pierced or just your skin? Because skin getting pierced is...what a tattoo is. If it's just the veins, I was wondering about that some too, because my other two tattoos (top of foot and between shoulder blades) bled a fair amount. They're bigger and have a lot of color though. This one didn't bleed at all, and there was definitely no puncturing of veins.checkers wrote: If I got one, it would be on my back or front, maybe an arm (At the top, it has more skin and would hurt less) I never thought of getting one on a wrist, I'm scared of having cuts on my wrists, because of viens being there (All over but noticable there), and I was scared incase they pierced the skin.

Those veins are way, way deeper than a tattoo needle goes. You can just see them very well because the skin on wrists is pretty pale by comparison, and they are slightly closer to the surface than many of the other ones in the body. They wouldn't tattoo wrists if there were even the slightest danger of puncturing a vein.
Lovely tattoo, SL. The letters look very clear, too, which is a good sign. Inexperienced tattoo artists that haven't really got the technique down sometimes really mess up wrist-lettering, and it comes out blurry. You can already tell that yours is going to stay nice

Oh that's a real nice tattoo! I love the lettering used, so pretty. I don't know if I'll be brave enough to get one on my wrist (yet). I have one on my upper arm of my fiancé’s nickname in a heart. I so want to get more and have a few ideas but it'll be a bit before I get more. Tattoos are very addicting. ^_^"

Sorry...I know this is an older subject, but I just now saw it. I think the idea behind your tattoo is really cool and it does look very crisp and clear which is always a plus. I have 4 tats myself, but i've never been brave enough to get one in a place that I can't cover up easily. As for girls getting tats..it is becoming much more common. Some of the choices most girls make about which tattoo they get I sometimes question, but it is just nice to see it becoming less of a taboo.
