I've wanted to get a tattoo for years but obviously I haven't been able to because I haven't been old enough and stuff, but now I am approaching 18 (JUST UNDER THREE MONTHS! OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD), and know that I definitely want to get one! I'm thinking of getting something on my wrist, forearm and on the ribs/back. Everyone says "get something meaningful or you'll regret it" and shit, but to be honest I can't think of anything meaningful to get tattooed. I just want small subtle tattoos that are a bit random but at the same time not too out there and extravagant. Something like Anja Konstantinova's tattoos above is what I have in mind! Was thinking of an outline of a triangle, pizza slice and a feather. Random and meaningless but I couldn't care less.. for now. Do you guys have tattoos, and are they as painful as people say they are? Opinions? xo

I don't have any tattoos, only because I wouldn't know what to get. I love looking at other people's tattoos though. That 'float' tattoo in the first photo is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'll try post some photos on my blog of mine soon for you :)

ReplyDeleteI got my first tattoo at a festival in July! It's a dreamcatcher on my wrist.

In certain areas it is a comfortable pain, it only really hurt when it was over a main vein. I say go for it. I believe that if you want or believe in something now, you should never regret it because it is a decision you once really believed in. I would suggest looking through a tattoo book or a tattoo website like this - http://rodeo.net/tattoologist/ because with mine, I wanted a tattoo for ages but couldn't decide what. I saw my tattoo in a book and was like "That's the one!"
Good luck!
Great tattoos! I'm getting addicted to tattoos :)
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, you got a great style!

I really love tattoos but I'm a little afraid of the thought that it gonna be for ever on my skin!Anyway I would really love to have one!Wish you find the perfect one for you! :)Btw thank you so much for the comment :*:*
ReplyDeleteDO IT DO IT DO IT, INK YOURSELF!!!!!
ReplyDeletebut maybe not a triangle.... you'd have the mark of a hipster on you for the rest of your life...!!!
I was also preparing myself for some time already and finally on monday i have appointment! Im so excited :)))
ReplyDeletelove! <3
ReplyDeleteI've got a tat on my foot on my 18th :) it was painful, I'm not gonna lie but the bonier parts of the body are apparently the most painful (foot, ribs, neck etc.) I'm defo going to get another though!
ReplyDeletei've thought about it so many times and never actually got one. and then, some months later i was always happy about not getting one... maybe it's just me but the things i like change very rapidly, so unless t's something that means a lot to me i won't get a tattoo... but the giraffe on that girl is a-m-a-z-i-n-g :)//dariadaria
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! x
ReplyDeletei've got one on my arm, it's just the word 'glorious'. it didn't hurt, i loved the feeling actually, tingly and stuff. be sure not to drink much before hand coz my friend did, and while getting inked on her wrist, it bled (something about alcohol in the system?) anyway, DO IT! mine is personal, i love the word and the feelings it brings to my mind when i think of it, and people expect some huge meaningful explanation behind it (but i don't like to explain why i got it to them). i want random stuff too!! but, it'll look like i've been attacked by a texta haha have fun :)
ReplyDeleteI am going to get my first one really soon!! All I know is that pain is different and it depends from where on your body you get inked and how much you can resist the needle... about what to get tattooed I will suggest u to talk about with friends, family just because saying out loud may help u clearing your mind!

Well, as a girl with four tattoos, all I can say is think wisely about what you want, and that you'll love them!! Good luck, and you have to show us all the minute you decide to get one!
ReplyDeleteI love tatoos on the wrist:) some text or stuff;)
ReplyDeleteI don't have any however I always wanted some..it's for whole life, you know..so you really must think about it;)
I want one similar to the one in the first picture so badly!
ReplyDeleteVery good post!

I have a tattoo on my wrist and it was tolerable until they went over the nerve in the middle of my wrist.. but thankfully they didn't have to go over it too many times! it wont stop me from getting another one though!
ReplyDeletethere is something so nice about knowing you have some personal ink. It doesn't matter if it's meaningful or not..once you have it, it is a part of you and if you are anything like me you will get a little excited each time you look down(or up/behind you etc) in the shower and remember its presence :)
ReplyDeleteAs for Anja Konstantinova's...I had the pleasure of working with her a few months ago on a swimwear shoot and hers are absolutely just as stunning in real life :) <3
i want a nice tattoo too!
ReplyDeleteLove this whole blog. I'm following you.
ReplyDeleteThese tattoos are awesome too!

I got three little flowers on my foot when I turned 18, I went to a pretty crappy artist so they aren't great and if I was to get it done again now I probably would go somewhere different. I didn't understand the talent levels of artists at the time. I don't regret it though, it was my first and definitely an experience. I don't think it hurt as much as most people say (and feet are meant to be the worst pain) but I do tend to have a high pain threshold.
ReplyDeleteJust do your research and go for something small and discreet for your first, as with everything it's a learning curve :)
Hope that's helped!

I love Freja's tattoos, if I ever get one it will probably be something of that sort, small and subtly, and most likely a word or short phrase written in cursive. she has one that says "this too shall pass" and it's like universally valid, for happiness and sadness and boredom and mostly any human state.
ReplyDeletelove the blog, following!

I love the little discreet tatoo's I don't have any personally but a few girls in my year at school have some. I change my mind too much to have anything permeanent.

ReplyDeleteIf you get one when you turn 18 I wanna seeeee whatcha get! :) You're like the coolest 17 year old though seriously. I wish I were this cool when I was 17. Hahah.
ReplyDeleteI'm quite heavily tattooed and I love the 'float' neck tattoo. Really simple and striking.

I love tattoos, even though I can't get one because I'm too young but I'd like to one day. I really like the "float" one, it's lovely.

ReplyDeleteyou should definitely get one! i'm planning on getting one at the end of year, so i've got till then to stop being a chicken shit.
ReplyDeleteahah XX
Great post! I really love the Anja's tattoo :) Mine is a clée de sol (hum, sorry I really don't know how to say it in english :S Well hum... it's a kind of music note)on my wrist.

ReplyDeletelovin the tatt on the second pic!
im too much of a coward to get a tattoo, so i will never get one, i know that much :P but i do like messing around in photoshop just to see what it would look like, and fake tattoos, if made well, can be really cool :)
ReplyDeletei like subtle text tattoos :)
good luck with yours!!! :)

I love Freja's tattoos. You have to think very well what do you want in your skin forever. Good luck with that! Thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeletewww.fashionsaveur.blogspot.com
ahh Iwant one so bad also! these pics are amazing
ReplyDeletefrancesca
I have three tattoos & all three have meaning to me. I think everyone's different on whether to get meaningful heartfelt tattoos or just stuff that looks good. That's the most important thing. Because if you get something weird like a strawberry, if it's done well, everytime you see it it'll make you smile. I wouldn't get too caught up in the whole meaning thing though, the pizza idea is awesome.
ReplyDelete& don't worry about the pain! It's like a chicken scratch & it goes away, & besides it's like a day of pain (max) for a lifetime with a lovely thing on your body. If you have any questions let me know, my bf's a tattooist :)
Thanks for your comment, cute blog, tatto's are debatable, I love them and they look good but how a bout when I'm old? And there is pain involved!

Lovely post. I'd love to get a small tattoo like that first text, but don't know what it would say :-D
ReplyDeletethanks for your comment,

The matryoshka tattoo in the second image is adorable! I have the same view on tats as you, they don't need to have meaning if they look good. I'm getting a graphics friend of mine to design a cascade of feathers to tattoo down my forearm.

ReplyDeleteGet one :D

I love tattoos like this, great post!
ReplyDeleteHearts,
Nicole http://www.vantagepointvintage.com/blog/
My preference: minimal and something with meaning. Ie, my family and I have always interchanged "te amo" with each other. I'd tattoo it somewhere quiet, like a small print on my wrist or somewhere that won't wrinkle terribly and become incoherent as I grow older.
ReplyDeleteI dont have any tattoos, but I want one (or more) for sure! I love a skull with a heart and wings for design! Good luck to you with finding a great design ;)

Thnx dear! You look stunning! ;)
ReplyDeletein your new post, and i love the outfit!
ReplyDeleteMy gooddd I know what you mean. Freja's tattoos are very inspiring and I love the places she's got them in. I've wanted either a short french quote underneath the top part of my arm or just a little outline of a heart either there or on my side. I just love it when they're subtle. And shows you've got a bit of an edge to you without looking realllyyy scary haha. Thank you for your comment. Love your style!
ReplyDeleteI adore your blog my dear. Thank you for stopping by mine :) I love love subtle tattoos, I think that Erin Wasson takes the cake for most beautiful subtle tattoos. Sending my love!! XO
ReplyDeleteLoveeee this post. Have 2 tattoos (planning a LOT more) and the russian doll one is AMAZING! Properly in love with it! xx
ReplyDeleteHello Procrastination
I love the giraffe and the russian doll ! They are so cool ! xoxo
ReplyDeleteLOL @ giraffe tattoo. I went through a phase of wanting piercings and tattoos. I decided against piercing my face and tattoos are wayyy too permanent for me, plus I don't like pain. I'm a punk.
ReplyDeleteI have three tattoos so far and they didn't hurt much at all. I hear the top of your feet is the worst place and your ribs are a close second. But I want one on my ribs!
ReplyDeleteI love the first one!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletesorry for the distracting typo. i have a tattoo on my shoulder. it didn't hurt that much. when i was 17, my aunt told me to wait a year, & see if i still wanted the tattoo. she said it will be on your body forever so, make sure you think it through. yrs. later, i finally got one. it was different than i would've originally chosen, but around the same theme. mine happens to be very meaningful.
ReplyDeletei hope that answers your questions. :)

I have two which I've had for absolutely years, one means something, the other is slightly more random... & that's the one I'm thinking of changing! They do hurt but it tends to depend whereabouts you get them done.
ReplyDeleteIf you're thinking of getting a random one then pick/draw a design & then sit on it for at least six months, then reconsider it. If you still want that design... go for it!
Nice inspiration, im thinking of let me make one too.
ReplyDeletelike ur blog!
Small tattoos are the best. I have a super small hidden one and a larger one. I love the reaction when people I've known for years are like, "you have a new tattoo?" i want more!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment (:

i have a outline of 3 birds on my right rib cage. it hurts all right. felt like a small jackhammer, my ribs were vibrating, it stung. but 40 minutes later when it was all over, i was thrilled. it's been 2 years and i don't regret it! DO IT!
ReplyDeleteAnja is gorg, and i absolutely love her giraffe and doll.
ReplyDeletebut i would really recommend somewhat thinking about what your gonna get on your skin. just make sure it has some sort of personal connection to yourself and your personality, and you're good to go! :)
i have one on my ribcage, and mine didn't hurt as much as i thought it would! but it will hurt, def tolerable though!
