Everyone I talk to say they are absolutely addictive. Even if they never end up by getting another one, part of them always wants to. Not everyone but most. I want a full back piece, both arm's sleeved, chest and neck pieces and at least one large leg piece. I know what I want and were I want it. I also have some drawings, outlines and general ideas of what I'll be getting. Needless to say that's going to take a long time and a lot of money which I don't have at the moment so it's going to be like a long time project sort of thing. I'm ok with waiting, it gives me more time to figure things out, reconsider if my taste change etc.

i totally here u dude
but i think thts too many of them
but as long as u r happy with them thts wat matters
and the fact u want ur own designs to be tattooed is even really good
i m not tht creative n artistic so i have never created a design
and waiting is important u can really think hard what u want and wher u want
gettin one done in a hurry leads to alot of regrets

Definitely! I got my first tattoo when I was 15, and I was so excited because I had finally talked my mom into letting me get one but about a year after I had that one I wanted more and eventually wanted to start my own business doing tattoos because I just love them so much and got so interested in them. 3 years later from getting my first tattoo and I already have 10. Most of them I regret but at the same time I don't. Hard to explain lol.

good to find out tht i m not the only one goin thru this
well i m still one only one but i think i will get one next year after saving money
thing is in india in my city there are very few who do tattoos and the good ones are really expensive.alot of new studios are comin up but u cant be sure abt their safety standards and quality of work
anyway so ur business doin tattoos sound exciting
best of luck for ur career

i finally got my first tat late last yr, then got an even better idea for another. got to save up the money for that one thou, but i've got a bug that i want another and soon hopefully. but i don't want to get covered, just small things. i was thinking of maybe getting an eagle on one shoulder and something else on my other at some stage when i find the right tat's for it.

I have met a few people who didn't want more than just one but my favorite tattoo addiction story is my sister got her first one, a giant narcissus, as big as her hand with her fingers spread out, on her hip. She had tears in her eyes and was squeezing my hand so tight it hurt. As the shop helper was running her credit card after she was finished, she looked at me with a huge smile and said Okay, I'm ready for another one.
