Where to get this tattoo???

Three interlinked hearts. Small, like 1cm across each. In a horizontal row.

Where to go for? Around bicep? Or on forearm, where I feel more people would see then? And where I'd see them more often??

Inside of your wrist?

piedbeauty · 27/12/2022 22:46

How painful is that?

Round your eyelids?

The tatttooist will persuade you to go bigger, so bear that in mind when you're thinking about placement.

I've got over 30 tattoos, that's a bit of a generalisation, all tattooists are different. Many specialise in small fine line work nowadays.

Forearm sounds nice.

Forearm would be more obvious.

DD provided a sketch of what she wanted for her tattoo, which the tattooist was willing to copy. Not that you have to do that, but just be happy they're doing what you want.

All tattoos hurt.
I found wrist the easiest tattoo to get. Enjoyed getting them there but its subject. DH said it came keen!

How much will it hurt??? Dd said it wasn't sore 😬

It’s not excruciating, just a bit nippy. Small 1cm hearts will take less than 10 mins, if that. I’d go for inside of elbow for something kms tbsp, I have some small line work there and it was absolutely fine.

ignore the poster who said your artist will try to persuade you to get a bigger one 🤣

SpangoDweller · 28/12/2022 09:29

Kms tbsp - “like that”. Weird autocorrect!

confessionsofacoffeeaddict · 28/12/2022 09:59

Under collarbone, forearm, inner arm...

Most painful for me was the one near my elbow and on my finger, zero flesh!

If you're asking for something really teeny the artist may, appropriately, suggest scaling it up a bit for a better long-term result.
For the size of what you're talking about, I'd say inside wrist would be a good location - I think it would get a bit lost on your bicep. Best plan, I always find, is to draw it on with a pen and see what you think - it can help you to really see whether what you're planning works. Do look at it from a bit of a distance, too (e.g. across the room in the mirror), as this gives you a good sense of what it's going to look like to other people.

Thanks, @Persipan, great advice! My dd has the same tattoo so I know what it looks like. Think I will go for forearm... will draw some out.

It doesn't hurt that much. I'm a real baby and I coped. Like others said just a bit nippy.
