Was there any blood? How long did it take for your tattoo to heal? How painful is it really? Would you ever get another tattoo even after some problems may have arised?

the only problem i have ever had with a tattoo is not the tattoo itself but closed minded people who make judgements about me because of them.
*i don't bleed when i get tattooed.
*my tattoos have all healed within 10-16 days (on my back 10, my foot took 16)
*it is painful, but not painful enough not to do it again. nobody but you knows your pain tolerance. but millions of people have tattoos so it can't be that bad, right?
*i hope to get many tattoos in the years to come

Yeah i have a tattoo on the upper part of my chest close to my shoulder. It did bleed a not but did not really hurt while getting it. The healing part hurt the most (mostly because my bra strap ran right across it). It would get tight and you HAVE to keep antiboitoc ointment on it. I have had some problems off and on with the black ink in my tattoo..i have what some people call and ink sensitivity (not an allergy). It causes my tattoo to bump up and itch around the black outline of it. It only seems to happen when I get sick which makes me think that in my body's effort to fight off bad germs it may be attacking the black ink as well. Tea Tree oil soothes the ithching and I don't have a whole lot of problems with it, you won't know if you have an ink sensitivity until you actually GET the tattoo...which sucks. I will get another tattoo but probably not with any black ink. I'm planning on getting a white tribal tatoo.

I had no problems with the one on my lower back. The two stars on my hips though were a different story. My artist told me to use lubiderm lotion to keep it moisturized well turns out I am allergic to lubiderm lotion I broke out in hives. Other than that they turned out great.
As for the blood they all bleed a little while getting tattooed.
The one on my back took 2 weeks to heal (13-14 days)
The ones on my hips though were another story it took the tattoos themselves to heal like 4 weeks because of the allergic reaction to the lotion.
I can send you a video of me getting the ones on my hips so you can see the pain. It hurts the most when it goes over a bone. From what I have heard is the rib cage and the hips and spine hurt the most. i have my stars touching my hip bones and one that part of it was on my lower spine. I am in the process of drawing one up for my side starting right under my under arm all the way down to my hip so if that says anything I am going to take the pain its not that bad. It kinda feels like beinng stung by little ants. I was actually told by one artist that he wouldnt tattoo me because he thought i couldnt handle the pain and hes the one doing the one on my side.

Blood... Depends, no to my first tattoo session, yes to my second session, different tattoos... Took about two weeks, but I kept my tattoo covered at all times and lubricated at all times.... I would clean it twice a day, and keep the lotion stuff they gave me on it at all times....
Certain areas hurt more that others, but as long as you really want the tattoo, you can take the pain if you really want it.... Just imagine how it is going to look when you are done, you can make it through more than you think you can...
Yes, I will get more...
They look perfect now...

There is a small amount of blood when they tattoo. Painful. Depends on what you can handle. They didnt hurt to me. But I compare it to someone taking a safty pin, pricking you with it and dragging. The straight lines are what I thought hurt the most. I have 5 in various places. I had one removed also. Due to not my correct design, crooked lines. Very unhappy. Make sure to get a good artist, and know its what you want. Have fun they are a very expressive thing :)
