Cool, Getting the feet done hurts no?

It looks like one of those temporary tattoos chrissy, you just apply them with a wet rag and they stay on for a day or to.

Nope..Durb..thats the reall thing.

I think that is real groovy! I want one but I am very chicken. I have sat and watched a few freinds do it with the inclination I may get it done but not yet.

ChrissyBz · 02-12-2008, 11:38 AM

DM: How much it hurts will depend on where you get it done. I almost fell asleep on two of mine.

digits mama · 02-12-2008, 11:42 AM

I heard the back of the neck hurts..Thats where I want my sons birthplace coordinates done. Also I want some pink hearts going down the top of my foot like dane&cockermom. But now that I see her paw prints..i may have a change of heart

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! D&CM

That is cool D&CMOM!! I would love to have one, but I am a chicken like Digit!! I want my girls pretty little face tatted on my shoulder with her name...I just can't bring myself to do it!! Those paw prints are awesome, though-never seen anyone with those!! Maybe digit will be next...

dane&cockermom · 02-12-2008, 12:25 PM

yeah, it is pretty common, but whatever. i love 'em, and they mean a lot to me. and durb, it is the real thing. and yes, it hurts like a son of ***** on your foot. lol. and now i have to figure out what i'm going to do at work tomorrow. i have to work a 12 hour shift, and i wear boots to prevent water getting in my shoes. should be interesting.

i was going to do the big one in pink, and the little one in blue, but my other two tattoos are all in black so i figured i'd just stick with that. it would look kinda weird to suddenly have color now.

Oh lord! I thought I was going to break the edge of the table I was sitting on I was hanging on so hard. Luckily, my foot was my FIRST tat, so all the rest have been a piece of cake.

Before you go to work tomorrow, wash your foot, dry it well and put on neosporin or something similar. Then, wrap it well with saran wrap before you put on your socks.

Make sure you go around the heel and over the ankle to keep it from slipping too much. I'd also wrap down to the toes just to be sure.

Then when you get home, take it all off and give it some air.

dane&cockermom · 02-12-2008, 03:48 PM

thanks chrissy! i'll be doing just that. the guy who did it suggested the same thing. i'm gonna get some decent breaks, so i'll be able to give it some air and re-wrap it at those times. i'm not too worried about it. i just hope i'm not limping anymore by the time i go to work. lol

Digits: I have one on the back of my neck...it didnt hurt at all...the only part that pinched a little was when it went over the bone..but other than that it was okay...

I have 3...and its true what they say, once you get one you get addicted...i have one on my wrist and hip as well...none hurt me to much, but the wrist one was pretty uncomfortable...but i handle pain pretty good so i dont know how it would be for others

britishbandit · 02-13-2008, 12:55 AM

I'd skip the neosporin and just use vaseline. For some reason the neosporin seems to drain the color out of tattoos, especially if it's left on for long periods. Just a suggestion.
