Did it hurt on your wrist?[/QUOTE]

I have a tattoo on the inside of my wrist and it hurt a good deal more than the one on my back.

Okmaybe i wont get one there! I have small wrists. The one on my hip hurt really bad, especially on my hip bone… but my wrists are sensitive

Everyone’s wrists are sensitive.

Amazing!!! Who was the artist that did your tatoo??

Here’s my only horsey tattoo.

I need to get pics of my trainer’s tattoo and my friend’s tat. I LOVE my trainer’s one…actually thinking about covering one of mine w/ one like it. It’s a fleur de lys w/ a horse jumping across it. It’s hard to describe. She wants to make it our logo for the barn.

Friend’s is a fleur de lys w/ a horse jumping out of it. It’s bigger and detailed. Artist used a picture of her horse for it. I’ll see them this weekend and get pics to share :slight_smile:

This is my new one. Close to my wrist, but really didn’t hurt very much at all!

Even though it’s small and simple, I still had my artist re-draw it twice. It had to look like a horseshoe and not a football team logo!

Ditto the comments about being really careful about your art. And choose your tattoo artist carefully as well. For god’s sake, FIND A GOOD ONE. Definitely not the time to go with the lowest bidder. If you have to save up for a while, it will be worth it. My niece has 2 tattoos that are so awful I want to cry every time I see them. Badly drawn, badly executed, and hers for life.

I currently work at a tattoo shop as a piercer. I’ve talked with a few of the artists about getting a photo realism horse done, and although I’ve seen their work, I’m STILL completely unsure about whom I’m going to go to. I know them very well and I’ve seen them do photo realism before. I just don’t want it screwed up, because I know that the slightest imperfection will make me very sad.

I would honestly save up a ridiculous amount of money, and find someone who is nationally renowned for doing portraits. Don’t just walk into any old shop, leaf through books and pick one right then, and there. Research. Read tattoo magazines. A lot of big names get featured in there, and if you can manage to correspond with them and set up a consultation, it is so WORTH IT.

When my mare died a few years ago (she was 32) I had her lip tattoo put on the back of my neck. Pretty simple, but people always ask what it means. An easy way to assure she will never be forgotten. At least while I have a neck, lol

Since we’re sharing… I love tattoos, and a good horse ones is one I always wanted, but wanted it to be right son took time in getting it. I didn’t want to do Mt heart horse b. C I knew if it wasn’t perfect in would hate and be disappointed forever so it wanted one that envelopedeeverything I love about horses, not just him… I went with a sketch type rather then your typical… Love it :slight_smile:
