Tattoo virgin

[kodiak198]

In about 12 hours I will be getting my first tattoo. I am almost 63 yrs old. I am getting a tattoo that will cover most of my right outer forearm. Excited but nervous too, I’m a wuss with needles. Can’t even watch when I have blood drawn.

Anyways, this will be an interesting day for sure.

I also got my first at 63 and now have 6 at 64.

If my wife passes away before I do, I'll get a tattoo. If not, I'll stay a virgin.

My father & 2 brothers had tattoos... they're all gone now... I'm 82 and not taking any chances.

I concur .... If I could do it over again ... I wouldn't have ... not that I regret what I got ... just that after retiring from the Navy, I worked for a company that had a policy of keeping them covered while at work, which meant long sleeves on all the time ... even in summer .... big pain. I was lucky and got into a medical study that was using red laser's to remove tat's ... had both forearms done and it was far more painful than getting the tats .... LOL ... mainly because you had to go back every 4 weeks to do it all over again for like 8 treatments.

The good news ... very little of the tats remain, just little spots that look like freckles ... and blend well with he freckles I have ... LOL. I was able to wear short sleeves again at work and still have the two, one on each shoulder.

I do have a recommendation ... keep it clean after getting it until it heals ... lots of my friends didn't do what they were supposed to and ended up with small infections that made the tats looks "less defined". I kept bacitracin ointment on mine, but, not sure they even make that anymore. Just do what they say and it will go fine.

As for the pain ... it's like getting a rubber band snapped on your skin ... but thousands of time ... within a few minutes ... you kind of get used to it. Like Stephen King said, "It's amazing what the human body can get used to." ... LOL

I got my first tattoo when I was in my fifties. Upper shoulder so it would not be seen when wearing normal shirts. Being a bit old fashioned, I think that discretion is the best and put them where only the people you want to see them can.

Well, getting ready to get it done. Fortunately, I don’t have to worry about hiding mine since I am retired.

Navy bud had "Your Name" tattoo'd on his ass cheek.

He made lots of money at the bars with that one!

I got my one and only tattoo in Dec. 1964 in Milwaukee, Wis. Shop's name Dietzel & Thomas. It has faded out so only half of the colors are there and the black outline looks like someone used a 2 year old Sharpie to make it. Cost $5.00. If I had to do it over I would say "NO THANKS".

Mmmmmm ............ Not say'n anything .............

Good thing tattoo technology has come a long way in the past half century

Several years ago I adopted a greyhound (dog, not bus). She had a tattoo on her lower inside lip.
