Well, first off tatoos are a lifetime comittment sweetie. You want something that is going to reflect who you are. Your passions, your personality. Find something meaningful. Do you really want to be branded with a s*ut bunny for the rest of your life? Surely you have more personality and character than that? Come on sweetie. When I see the bunny the first three things that pop into my head first are, "unimaginative, s*ut, and dumb". Just keep that in mind. It hurts more to remove.

I have a Pink Flamingo on my ankle. I've had it for about 2 years and it has not faded. It depends on who you go too. Some people that are not good do not get the ink in the skin well causing it to fade. Go to some one good and you should not have a problem. I'm assuming you have light skin because if you have dark skin you probably will not be able to the pink anyways. Oh and it does hurt a bit especially if they are working on a place that has no fat and on top of a bone. It is not that bad.

If you don't have it outlined in a darker color like black, it tends to blend in a lot. It also depends on how much sun you expose the tattoo'd area too. A lot of sun makes any tattoo fade, and pink does fade more than a darker color. Any tattoo hurts. to some degree. Areas where skin is near bone, like wrists, hands, ankles hurt the most. Areas like the inside of your upper arm with it's soft "baby skin" really hurt. It depends too on what you get. drawing lines doesn't hurt much, but filling in or shading does. So a simple design hurts less than a complex one. My largest is a dragon on my upper arm from elbow to shoulder and took 4 hours to do. The detail work drawing the scales wasn't bad, nor was most of the outline, but 3 hours or so of shading in the colors was pretty tough. The most painful part was the tail which wrapped around my inner arm. Non of it was so bad I would have wanted to quit, but it did hurt a lot. My wife had a rose done on her upper chest, and never blinked. She had a large design done on the small of her back and said it hurt a little more, but she never had a big problem with the pain issue.

If done properly and you follow your aftercare instructions, keep your tattoo mosturized, away from sun and the tanning bed, the color fading should be minimal. As far as pain... I actually enjoyed getting all of my tattoos. It feels like... eh.. someone scratching you with a safety pin? Bout like that lol. And please go to a good shop, and get with an artist that's experienced. Anyone doing ink out of a motel room or someone's basement will probably A)do a shitty job B)not have much experience and C)increase your risk for catching hep or some other blood bourne illness. Trust me. I paid good money and in return got good time for the ink I have. An older woman stopped me the other day at Walmart to tell me how nice my back piece looks. That's a tribute to the quality of work!

Pink will fade sooner than darker colors, its not a big deal if you dont mind getting it touched up once a year. Check into tattoo parlors too, some of them gurantee their work and will do free touch ups.
As for your next question, yes it does hurt. Is it the worst pain you will ever feel? No, not even close, it doesnt hurt that badand after 5 minutes your become used to it. I hope I helped, Good Luck!

I have two pink tattoos and the color has not faded very much, if at all. It does depend on your skin tone though, I am very light skinned. As far as it hurting, it's not that bad. It's just kind of an annoying scratching feeling.

The hip is a painful spot. The ink shouldn't really fade for a while...Sometimes people don't ever have to have it re-colored, but it does happen. The coloring is the easiest part of it tho..It's the least painful part of the process in my opinion

It hurts. Don't let anyone tell you different. A light pink color will eventually fade to your skin color after many years. Most colors that contain white in them will fade.

Pink shouldn't fade. The tattoo area should be stretched so it will cover the entire area without light spots. When it is relaxed it should be one even color. Just remember, aftercare is really, really important. Make sure to ask your artist what to do...

my friend has that same tattoo on her hip and it has faded alot. As long as you take care of it(sun block) and stuff you should reduce the fading by a great deal. good luck!
