My first tattoo

[Roxie Roulette {★}]

So I just turned 18, and in the UK that mean's I can legally get inked up. I've wanted one for ages, but have never settled on a design. I love the idea of a bow at the top of each thigh, but I don't know if it would look okay. Also, do you think 18 is too young to get a tattoo? Should I wait? When was your first tattoo? Ideas are wholly welcomed

Thank you very much! I know an artist who specialises in this sort of style of tattoo so I'll give him a bell and have a chat.

WAIT!!! think long and hard before deciding sweety. ask around and find a reputable artist, you don't want a dolphin turning out looking like a shark. have them draw up some designs, stick them on and wear them a while. something you really like may not look good after see it on you. i have a pair of flamed dice i have been wearing around on my arm and on my wrist forever and still haven't decided on a location. a good way to experiment is to copy your design onto a sheet of clear plastic. it looks like a real tattoo when you place it on your skin. i'm just sayin, don't jump in until you test the water. i have many friends that regret having some work done that they truly regret. good luck hon. chop.

I think the bows are a super cute idea, but I'm kinda bias. My first tattoo was at 18, and I still love it. 11 tattoos later, and I love every one. If you feel that you wanna do it, go for it!! But as Chop said, be sure you're sure.

Here are my seems w/bows. Not the best pic, but the best I can find at the moment.

Your bows are exactly what I want!! Wow! They look stunning and such a cute size! Can I save this photo to show the artist?

Thank you so much! Of course you can. I'll see if I can find or take a better one and send it to you.

Thank you very much! I've been looking for an image for so long!

All i can say is the tattoo's i got when i was 18 and the tattoos i have now are completely different - Most of the ones i had at 18 (because i could) are now covered up- twice the cost and pain!

Just be sure what you get is definitely what you want - and think about the area of skin your getting inked on- I had a tiny piece done on my stomach and back which meant i had to work around them when i decided i wanted huge piece doing 5 years later!

But if it helps Im waiting for my tattooist to come back about doing me bow on my thighs- haven't found a tattooist i trust enough to do seams thought yet!

Just to highlight it i think my hubby showed you his back piece- complete with a tribal design above it which he got at aged 18/19 and is now looking at having it covered up by a bat!

Thanks Violet! I'm choosing my tattoos very carefully, and the artist as well. I'm definitely going to ask around and investigate different artists before I go for it.

Hey Roxie,
I was 18 when i got my first and have about 16 now, always getting more, very addictive, you'll find out.
I have stocking seams with bows.

Though a month ago i had my first tattoo ( a playboy bunny) yeah i know, really not me, so have a great sailor jerry tattoo covering it. that's the great thing, you can get tattoos covered if you no longer like them, i did have that tattoo for 9 years before covering it!! Maybe for your first tattoo you should get something a little smaller, stocking seams cane to get tattoed ( back of knees, ouch) don't want it to put you off getting another. Sailor Cherry xox

I don't think I'll get the seams; apparently you have to get them re-done every couple of year's? I just want the bows really. I'm expecting to get hooked on them but we'll have to wait and see.

Happy Birthday!
I like your idea about the bows...my only advice is make sure you look for a really great artist. Be prepared, it's addictive! Good Luck...get pictures

Ok...I want to add MAKE SURE THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT. I have had laser removal and it does hurt much worse than the ink...

Thank you! Hopefully I will get these done by the summer if I find a good artist!
