    Yup, the not donating blood for a year is a downside of the tats...but I finally decided to take some time for me. Went back to donating after the year.

    A tattoo shop that uses new or sterilized needles and little ink cups shouldn't be a problem if the artist gloves up too.

    The pain is soooooo exquisite....but in the rough spots I found the cortizone cream applied before the work helped...think the shops offer similar creams.

    Glad I only had to do my sternum one time....and dang, there are some nerves in the fleshy part of my back that respond like the thin skin over bones..

    Great tats guys. I too am thinking about getting one here soon. Hopefully I'm going to get it done before I leave Turkey. We'll see how the finances go.

    Indeed! I have some new-school looking swallows on my chest holding a banner and I swear I could feel pain in the soles of my feet when he was doing the color after every ounce of endorphin was used up in my body.

    I've got five myself, including the Davidson Clan crest on the upper left arm.

    True that! I absolutely loathed my chest, but I have to screw up the courage all over again, as I plan to cover up the garbage that's on it with a complete chest-sized clan crest, with the stag's antlers coveing the chain around my neck. Yeah, soooooo looking forward to it!
