I was considering getting a tattoo on my sternum-and I was just wondering (for females that have done this) how different is the healing process? I know it hurts more than an armband-just because there is less flesh over the sternum. Does it take alot longer to heal? My arm took about 3 weeks.. And also-what kind of bras did you initally wear, and what did you wear to get it done? Any info would help!

Okay-look, I am going to get tattoos where ever I please, I am not taking any opinions on how that is 'gross' or an 'abomination' or whathaveyou. I don't push my spiritual views on anyone, and don't really care about anyone else's. I have no intentions of showing my chest to whoever passes me by-believe it or not, most people tattoo for THEMSELVES. If someone does body art for popularity's sake or otherwise-that's their biz. No one knows I have as many as I do, because I get them for me-not to show off.
All I want are the facts from people that have had this done, and their healing times.

okay, my husband has a sternum tattoo and it all depends on how fast your body heals but generally the closer a tattoo is to the heart the faster it will heal because there is more blood flow to that area. i haven't had a sternum tattoo but i am working on a full back piece so i can give some bra advice. usually when i get worked on for the first five days or so i put on a t-shirt THEN whatever bra i am going to wear (preferably a somewhat lose and comfortable one- if you can call a bra comfortable) then whatever shirt i am going to wear. that way the under shirt is touching the tattoo and the bra won't rub it in certain spots it DEFINITELY made a difference in my comfort level thruout the day at work and stuff. good luck!!!

I have four tatts but I do not have one there. To stay covered you could wear a sweat jacket and unzip it to get it out of the way. I would not wear a bra while it is healing. I have one on my shoulder blade and I did not want a strap on it. To much chance of it rubbing hard. Wear a lose tank top and a lose shirt over it. Don't chance messing it up.

My best friend has a boquet of roses on her chest.
I'm fairly sure it hurt like hell.
And don't wear a bra during healing.

I just got my sternum/under boob tattoo done Saturday (6/11/16) and today is Monday (6/13/16) and my chest has already begun to itch, I had very minor swelling and redness. I will say the pain was the worst tattoo pain out of my others. Part of my ribs has also started to scab over already

That's gross. You think some dummy at the tatoo shop can improve on Gods work? Just get one on your ankle or something don't ruin yourself there, Please!
