“My first tattoo is my large watercolor thigh tattoo that took three full days.
I got a little woozy first session.”
“The first one itched like hell for about a month.”
“Its a rose on the top of my foot.”
“I got my tattoo in Tahiti while on vacation 50 years ago.
The tattooist used a sharpened finishing nail while I held a spoon with printer ink.
Very painful as there is little muscle on the top of the foot.
Something to remember.”

“Tattoos always hurt more on a bone.”
“I currently have four tattoos, mostly on my thigh.”
“My first tattoo was of my favorite singer right above my knee.
I didn’t take any breaks, the session was 2 hours or so.
It made me start loving my thighs cause I was always insecure about them and hated showing my legs.
Another thigh piece is higher up near my hip.
It’s about the size of my hand and it felt so good, like pleasurable.

“My biggest takeaway is that the tattoo artist’s experience and technique really matters.”
The more she talked, the angrier she got and the deeper she dug with the needle.
I started laughing and told her we should probably change the subject.
She apologized and finished an excellent job, still looking good 30 years later.”

“I remember getting faint from the pain.”
And last, but not least.
“Whoever said legs tattoos are easy are LIARS!”
