What is her favorite fish? I had a picture of my volitan lionfish turned into a tattoo in 2008.

My king angel (pic. in avatar) is my fav. So while it's a great idea for a tattoo I think I'd just barely be able to handle a small maple leaf on my arm, never mind a whole multi coloured fish.

Laurie, I think a little "Nemo" on the ankle or back of the shoulder would be kinda nice.

OH come now Laurie, if I can do 3 fairly large tat's you can do a little one, as I have a MAJOR HUGE phobia of needle's.

I would suggest you put it just above your ankle, you will hardly feel it.

I'm not scared of needles, one single needle poking you in the arm doesn't even hurt, however one little needle poking you many many times in the same spot over and over again, I think would hurt....a lot! Somehow, from what my friends who have tattoo's tell me, I will definitely feel it. Also years ago I watched my friend Jay get half of his arm tattoo, and while he was trying to show that it didn't hurt, every time he flinched you could tell it did.

Nope, but now I want to watch Waterboy, it's been awhile since I've seen that movie.

If I ever got a tattoo I want to make sure I wouldn't regret it 10-30 yrs from now. I know I wouldn't regret a maple leaf or Canadian flag.

However after seeing the lionfish tat. and thinking about what Dawn said about getting a tat. of my fu man chu, I can't help but think that would look cool, but I'm not sure I could handle the pain of a larger tattoo.


Edit: meant to say I would not regret a maple leaf/canadian flag oops!

actually the needles they use for the most part are clusters of pokeys....to maximize coverage.......

no sugar coating it...... it hurts.....buts thats kinda the badge of honor
