Anyway, little pic It's blurry and lumpy and swollen. 3 little stars

Looks cute K well done!!!

I would be paranoid about them poking my arteries and blood gushing everywhere on my wrist though

I thought you were going to have 3 paw prints?

I always said I would get my name in Chinese characters somewhere when I was thirty but i am **** scared

Hate pain and my mother would kill me!

There is really nothing to be scared of, if you go to a repiable place the whole process is very safe (if a bit sore but as Pebs has shown it is bareable).
The ink goes between layers of the skin and unless they were really going at it or a poor tattooist there is very little bleeding and a low likelihood of hitting anything of importance, getting a piecing is more invasive for this. Tattooing is like a skin graze, as long as you treat it well it will heal up no problem.
Can't say anything about mum's, my mum really dislikes tattoos every time i go i tell her i'm going and every time she says that she wishes i wouldn't. But then she accepts that i'm an adult and can anoint myself with whatever colourful or shiny additions i like.
Plus i get to freak her out with them afterwards, always fun

not tattoo news - but if all goes to plan, i'm getting my belleh button pierced later! (i.e. if she has some blackline jewelry in, can't be doing with that shiny silver nonsense if it has to stay in for 4-6 months )

i presume people on here have had this done already (it's a pretty popular piercing) i'm just bit worried about the aftercare and how long the healing time is likely to be! lets hope this one doesn't get me back in to my addiction - i can't afford it!

Heard what could well have been an ambulance earlier, so Huddy could well have had it done

Heather had hers done when she was at Uni and its still fine after over 10 years, I've heard of people who effectively 'heal' theirs out i.e they grow out over time. As long as you look after it properly (she used salt water to soak hers daily if I remember rightly) and you go to a good studio then you shouldn't have any problems though although you might not want to lay on your front for a few days after

Thats exactly what they're for! You're the first to realise It was either stars or paw prints, which also have a very emotional meaning to me. I may still get them elswhere.

noo! I knew that too I prefer the stars to pawprints for the girls, maybe you can get the pawprints done for your animals or something

I guessed, thought it was sort of obvious really!
