I got 2, one of a rose, on my left shoulder, eventually when i have kids, i think I'll get their names put into it. Got this done when i was 18, didn't hurt, looks nice too, not too big, not too small.
And I got a tribal band with a rose, on my lower back, when i was 19. I scabbed up really bad, and would scratch it like buggery, and now it's all spotty, and to be honest with you, i hate it, if i could afford it i would get it removed, it looks ugly (on me anyways). These tattoos suit some girls, particularly ones who have a nice toned body, which i used to have!! And this one hurt like crazy, i passed out 3 times, the tattooist was getting so pissed at me!! Doesn't help that I'm a bit of a sook when it comes to pain!!
Each to their own though
