A friend of mine got a tattoo of Candy Candy on her back, the classic scene of Candy and Terry kissing

Cool idea for a thread. I'm curious to see who has what.

I currently don't have any anime tattoos but wouldn't be opposed to a small one ... the problem is of who? Lots of good choices.

I have the NERV logo tattooed on my right wrist, and a Totoro with an orchid and butterfly on my left foot....

More in the future....

Don't be scared...It's not bad at all...It burns at first...Then...depending on the area...Doesn't feel like anything. When I got my foot tattooed...The feeling started making me annoyed...LOL...

But...Burns more than anything.

Poe...you are far tougher than I!! I currently have five tattoos - one of which goes around my waist. I'm in the process of psyching myself up for my next two. I do want an anime tat, but I have not found anything that really strikes me yet.

I got Gene Starwinds red and orange star done on my left arm. If you've ever been stung by a bee, that is pretty much how it feels after the first fifteen minutes or so. After that, your adrenaline kicks in and it's just a buzzing numbness. Make sure you eat before yoy go. Every artist I've talked to has had a story about folks passing out in the chair. Their adrenaline kicks in and they have a hypoglycemic reaction.

I've been told the exact same, as BH said, by a friend of mine. Especially about how important eating is before going in. I however don't have any tats... but I want 2, but i'm also too chicken to go in by myself.

Fact: men faint more often than women. Women tend to piss themselves, vomit or do nothing at all. Oh, and cry. Women tend to cry and squirm, which really screws up tattoos.

I've never heard anything about eating prior as a cure for the fainting, but I guess anything's possible. Seen people eat dinner and still have problems staying coherent. A great deal of the trouble stems from the excitement and their fixating on what's happening. Sometimes the sight of blood can trigger folks. Just the fact that they are getting a tattoo/piercing is a "big deal" and they go into pseudo-shock. It's typically psychological, a lot of people who faint want to faint. The attention and excitement of the process leads to stiff muscles and down they go. Always hilarious.

No matter what, do not drink before hand thinking it will help with the pain. Alcohol thins the blood and you'll bleed more/more easily. If you pass out (either from the process or from the alcohol), your pores close up. Good artists will wait for you to revive before continuing. Bad artists will finish your tattoo while you're passed out. Ink needs open pores.

Got the image picked out and everything

I agree w/ Blueheaven thou! I was told by a few friends of mine
that got tats to eat before going. So I had a nice hearty lunch

Also depending on where you get the tat, wear comfy clothes!
