I have several tattoos - one very large one on my back that took about 4 hours, one on my foot one on my arm, one on the right side of my tummy and I am not telling you where the other one is
You really need to be sure that you are getting the right tattoo for you, what might seem fun now might not be so good in a few years time, each of mine kind of says something about me! the one down my side says "only god can judge me" in chinese it is very pretty but not to big just in nice petite writing.
Make sure you make the right choice is the best advice I can offer you, remember a tattoo is for life not just for christmas!
