Here's the my 2nd tattoo pala, done last July pa. Barely 3 months lang when I had my 1st done so super talagang nakaka-addict. The first one was done by Ryan Bernardino, and 2nd was done by Richard Gavino.

i'm seriously considering getting a tattoo na talaga. i've always wanted to get a tat sa hip. i've decided on a design yearssss ago pa! kaso di ko pa naachieve yung goal weight ko. reward ko dapat kasi yun.

pero lately kasi i've been thinking of getting a different tat sa wrist ko naman. 1 word lang. mahilig ko kasi i-sulat yung word na yun sa wrist ko. dinodrowing ko lang using a pen (ilang beses na ko nakasira ng pen kasi sa kakasulat ko nun. after ko isulat, ayaw na sumulat sa papel. haha) so naisip ko, what if gawin ko ng permanent. pero i was thinking of white ink sana para di masyadong halata.

how much ang white ink tat? mga ganitong size lang: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1wm830kx1Uc/TzDGWA15s8I/AAAAAAAAA4c/au6cNSKNlP8/s400/Love+Tattoos2.bmp

hubby and i plan to get inked din.  inaantay nalang niya kung kailan ko sasabihin na go na. nirecommend ng friend ko si Gene Testa. napansin ko na hindi pa ganoon ka accepted sa society natin ang tattoo on women. i have a friend na addicted na sa pagpapatattoo as yun ang outlet niya sa mga hinanakit niya sa buhay. may mga nagcocomment na ang dumi daw tignan.. 

sa mga moms na may tattoo how do you explain it sa mga anak ninyo..? yan kasi ang dilemma ko hehe 

[tipC_shoegal]

^Gene Testa's well-known although with that "tag", he might charge a little higher compared to the ones that aren't really famous in the tattoo circle.

Why mind society's comments? Tattoos are art on skin and it's not your problem if most people would find it "dirty". Just brush it off if you'd hear comments like that. We can't do anything about people who are too conservative to accept women with ink on their skins.

If your kid/s ask you, tell them that it's an art and that you never want that art taken away from you that's why you placed it on your skin. Tell them it's a way for you to express yourself and is not in any way a sign that you're a "bad person" as your kid might see some form of media portraying tattooed people in a negative way.

I agree with sis tipC_shoegal...

Never mind what others say, anyway you got the tat for yourself.  Btw, Gene Testa canvas here, he's a good friend and an amazing light-handed artist

[seven82]

thank you sis tipC_shoegal and sis missyli 

nice to know na magaan kamay ni Gene Testa. kailangan ko yun hehe iniisip ko kung kakayanin ko yung pain. but wala na atang tatalo sa panganganak 

[tipC_shoegal]

^You're welcome, sis! I've never given birth but I'm sure that's one helluva pain to experience. Being tattooed is like being bitten by a thousand red ants altogether. It's piercing but if you get to relax your mind as the process goes, it's all good.

Also, pain felt depends on the part that's being tattooed. If you're gonna get a tattoo that first time, the upper back sides are the best areas to start with. The most parts that really would exhibit pain while being tattooed would be the rib cage, chest, inner arm, thigh, spine. Parang the softer and the boniest parts are the most painful parts to be tattooed on.

My ex has quite a number of tattoos and sabi din nya na masakit daw talaga pag sa mabuto at sa laman na manipis ang tattoo ilalagay so just be sure where you want it placed. May topical anaesthesia naman din na pwedeng gamitin e. Try Googling it na lang din.

We're getting a couple tattoo before we get married in July.
Mixed emotions--exciting at scary at the same time.

[seven82]

^^sis regarding sa topical anesthesia you need to request this ba sa artist? o you bring your own? plan to have mine sa baba ng shoulder blade. dapat talaga sa shoulder blade mismo but susubukan ko muna sa hindi masakit na part 

colored or not? 

[tipC_shoegal]

^Try asking the artist if he can provide that. If they won't then you have to buy yourself a couple of tubes para magamit mo before the dutdutan.  Dr. Pain yata yung name nung alam ko. Not sure if that's the right brand but you can always double check it on any search engine.

hi ask ko lang mahirap ba makakuha ng work pag mei tat?

[FayeP]

mga sis,

I have been wanting na magpatattoo eversince college, pero ala kasi ako makita na design na talagang magugustuhan ko...

last month, I saw some pics online of cherry blossom tattoos...as in ang gaganda,most of them are covering the back and shoulders of the models...

mahal po ba magpa tattoo let's say a cherry blossom branch design sa shoulders???

[tipC_shoegal]

^Search for an artist muna and then magpa-quote ka po. Iba-iba kasi ang prices na china-charge ng kada artist depende na din kasi sa "status" nila sa tattoo industry here in the country.

[pixiedust]

^^ooh! cherry blossom tattoos are my fave! yun ang original kong plan na tat. but yung flower lang mismo. usually kasi nakikita ko yung plant eh. may branches and all.

[FayeP]

sis TipC, yes, sige hanap muna ako ng tattoo artist...

pag carry ng budget ko go na!!!

[rheinfall18]

ano ba magandang designs?? i'm thinking to have a ring tattoo lang hehe

@.@

[gentai_chan]

Share ko lang..Hubby ko is nagtatattoo and he's doing a Home Service within QC area other wise shoulder ni client ang transpo nya..so far so good and I can say that I am a very proud wifey

As much as possible hinahayaan ko lang siya since passion nya yun. He's still completing all the equipment sa shop nya who happens to be just beside our house so go siya muna for Home Service. All prices are negotiable and he offers affordable tattoo service.

I got 4 tattoos pero hindi siya ang artist ko hehe..after we've been together and had our first baby unfortunately di niya na ko ina-allow magpatattoo hehe..and it's quite ok for me.

[wife2be]

^keeping you as contact sis. My h2b and I are planning to get identical tattoos pero gusto sana namin, sabay-- not one after the other. Wala lang, maarte lang. We wanted home service sana. Sis, if you know a female tattoo artist who works with your hubby, let me know. Gusto ko sana female artist sa akin.

[gentai_chan]

^sis thanks sa ngaun solo nya lang ang pagtatattoo kase focus siya on having his own shop anyime sooner. Thanks. You can check his FB account at http://www.facebook.com/genesistattoo16

Good luck sis =)
