BIG PAIN!

So, just thought I would add my two cents about something that has recently come to my attention.

Tattoo's are great....however don't get them done on your wrist.

My most recent is two waves...and I do really love it. I had it done in April on my left wrist. I like the design for a number of reasons...the two waves inter- "mingling" appealed to me the most.

The actual design is called "nalu" meaning; Wave, surf; full of waves; wavy as wood grain. Ke nalu nei ka moana, the ocean is full of waves. 2. vt. To ponder, meditate, reflect, mull over, speculate.

As I said love the design, however should have chosen to place it elsewhere on my body. My wrist hurt like a son of a gun (the first time around).....the problem arose afterward when the tattoo artist told me it will probably fade because my wrist was a "high traffic area"...

Question number one-why in the hell did he not tell me this vital detail prior to permanently etching it into my arm.

Question two- what the hell does he think i'm doing with my wrist to make it a high traffic area...? LAME

So...needless to say it faded rather noticeably to the point where a 11 yr old friend of mine stated bluntly "Erin, you probably shouldn't draw on your arm...it doesn't look good"....(YESS)

So I diligently trudged down to the local tattoo hole today to get it re-done.

The first time hurt...but was bearable...second time....SHITE!

It really hurt this time, he went over the same area so many god damned times that I was practically shooting blood onto the table.

So, I still say go get that snake holding a rose tattoo you've always wanted but avoid the wrist like the plague my friends....like the plague

Well have fun out there, and good luck.....
