Planning / How-to Tips

	sharris21 says: 08/16/2009	I want to get my family motto somewhere where I can see it (i.e. not back) and that it can be completely hidden because of work.

	targetbarney says: 05/23/2008	Alot of people will say it hurts, but that's relative to three things - how much pain you've felt in your life, where it's at, and how detailed it is. Personally, I thought mine all felt great. So great that I wish they had clear ink just so I could get more without using valuable skin space. Two warnings though - look around at alot of different artists' profiles, and be aware because it is extremely addictive. I don't smoke, I hardly drink (and I'm Irish), and I've used very few illegal drugs, but as I got my first one I was already making plans to get my next two the day after. Good thing I have a laundry list of ones I genuinely want to get done. But NO MATTER WHAT you do, do NOT EVEN TOUCH them unless you're DABBING on CUREL lotion, which you have to do constantly. I slacked off just a bit and now all of mine need touchups.

	boredchika says: 04/30/2007	They only say you can't give blood for one year after, it's just to make sure that you haven't contracted HIV from the needle. I know this because I've got tats and I've donated blood afterwards.
	DaveCharlie says: 03/05/2007	is that true, you can't give blood once you've got a tat?
	Anonymous says: 01/24/2007	I've wanted to do this for years and watching "Miami Ink" on Bravo makes me want to do it more. I even know what I want to draw but I feel so guilty because I keep thinking, if I do this then I won't be able give blood anymore. Oh well.

	elixireleven says: 09/02/2009	I got my first tattoo today: a skeleton key between my shoulder blades, directly on the spine, in black and grey, by a brilliant guy named Rob from Adrenaline in Montreal. (Dude's got a butterfly touch, because it barely hurt at all.) I can't wait to add to it. I'm hooked. :D
	bubbles_suzie says: 02/10/2009	I got a butterfly on my back. I got it with my sister who has the same one on het wrist. Im still not sure if i want a second one cause it hurted.
	Moody says: 05/19/2008	Once you get it. Its there for life. So make sure its something you really want. I have 5 and I'm thinking about another. I just don't know where to put it.
	susiew says: 05/18/2008	Here's one man's cautionary tale about getting a tattoo :) http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/18/magazine/18lives-t.html I think the thing is to tattoo something you're passionate about, like the superviva logo ;) ha ha
	jtown says: 03/19/2007	I think if you get a tattoo you have to wait a full year before you give blood.....per my sister who is a nurse. That's a good question to google!
	mandie85 says: 09/14/2006	This is really just something I think everyone should experience. I am petrafied of needles, but this helped me in more ways than one. I got a beautiful welsh dragon on my right shoulder without even flinching. lol! And it it true what they say, once you get one, your hooked for life. haha!
