Not sure where to post something about disney tattoos

I'd love to get either Belle or the enchanted Rose from Beauty and the Beast on my upper ankle (just above the sock line), but i'm far too chicken.

I thought the sleeve of Sleeping Beauty was just beautiful!!!

My biggest fear of getting tattoos is 1) Them not turning out right or how you envisioned, 2) Regretting it later and 3) Needles...they really scare me! Otherwise I'd consider it. The Alice and Sleeping Beauty ones were so amazing!

1) Tattoos hurt as much as a (continuous) 'scrape'. It's NOT like getting a shot from a syringe (needle). The needle for a piece of art that will last your lifetime, is NOTHING like a shot.

2) If you profess that you WANT a tattoo, then get one. There are few things more annoying than a person professing their love of tattoos (to a tattooed person) and just making excuses for why they have none of their own.

3) Your tattoo doesn't have to have meaning. Nothing ALIVE is PERMANENT.

I just thought I would throw this one out there: I always get people asking what stars 'mean'. They don't mean diddly. I JUST LIKE THEM.

First of all, who cares what WE think? It's your life, do it! I have a few tattoos, but only Bambi as far as Disney goes.

As far as not turning out how you envisioned, a lot of artists will use a transfer. This is a see through sheet of paper that they will use to press the image onto you prior to tattooing you that way they can stencil and you can approve it prior to being permanent-alized.

As far as needles, I hate them too! However, I have two ENORMOUS tattoos on my back. It feels like someone writing on you with ball point pen only they are pressing extremely hard. That's my thoughts on that at least. Depending on the location of the tattoo you may not even feel that much pain during it.

We are all entitled to our own opinions. I'm not a tattoo hater, there are just some things that would possibly prevent me from immediately getting one that's all.

Thank you for such graceful input.

I still get lots of compliments on my Jessica Rabbit tattoo I'd say the chance of it coming out badly are pretty low if you get a good artist - they don't draw it right on you freehand, they basically draw it out on paper and then transfer it to the skin, then trace over it with the needle and color it in... so find someone good and you won't regret it! (and if you need a recommendation in the central NJ / Jersey Shore area, let me know )
