I got one about ten years ago, a koi splashing around in water. It's on my scapula AKA my upper back shoulder. It looks like a blob now, I have to explain and describe it to people when they ask. Make sure it's an image that will stand the test of time and make sure you can cover it up when you need to. I don't regret…

I think the area just over the clavicle hurt the most, but other areas weren't so bad at all. For the first two days I tried not to wear a strap on that side, but afterwards it was okay to wear one on top.

Yeah, the touching thing is annoying. It mostly happens before or after yoga class and around drunk people. I did have one woman that I worked with pull the back do my shirt up to look at my "tramp stamp."

I have two! I posted about them here when I got them. Here's the most recent one. I wanted colorful birds, so I showed some to my artist (he's done both my tattoos) and he drew up something for me. It was perfect, but a bit bigger than I wanted, so he resized for me. Don't be afraid to speak up if the design is not…

Know that your body/skin will age, and it will be beyond your control. Don't get some majestic winged creature across your breasts without considering if you can live with the fact that one day it will look like a melting candle-wax figure.
Don't search for a cut-rate artist, and don't expect that what it looks like…

I love my tats. I have 3- one goofy tiny thing on a whim when I was 18, a larger piece on my rib age (that hurt, but it's my favorite), and a medic alert tat on my wrist for my disability. I want another, but I like to percolate the design for a bit before I get it done, to ensure I love it enough for it to live in…

BTW, love your username. :)

I wouldn't call it badass. It was actually a cover up from a stupid mistake when I was a fifteen-year-old. I gave myself a tattoo there and it looked like I'd been in juvie. Sadly, it wasn't the only cover up. Ah, teenagers and their "decision-making."

The pain thing is going to come down to how big the tattoo is, where you're getting it, and your general tolerance. I'm no big badass when it comes to pain but the tattoos were nothing I couldn't handle. Granted though, mine are all pretty small. The ones that hurt the most were the two on my inner heels, followed by…

put the image of the thing you want on your bathroom mirror or desktop background and live with it for a year.

I have quite a few tattoos. Most of them I got done when I was in college and didn't pay much for them. I have two bigger ones (that are clearly visible) that I got done within the last three years that are by a great artist. I love all of my tattoos, even the ones I got for free and need to be fixed.

Do it! I only have one that I got on my 18th birthday and I kind of hate it now, but the memories of that night make it awesome. I used to be terrified of needles but it was nothing like having a medical needle stick me. It didn't hurt much at all, though mine is tiny and only took 10 minutes. Even though I'm an…

The ankle hurt. It hurt the first time, and it hurt when I got it touched up. And the guys who did it (first time and second time) both told me how much the ankle hurts.

I have been playing with the idea lot too. I actually got a bunch of Tattly temporary tattoos (they're awesome!) and started playing with things like placement. Originally I thought I wanted it on my wrist, but after putting it there for a few weeks, I realized that I sorta hated it. It interfered with my cool watches…

I got mine when I was eighteen; I don't regret it. It's in a place I can easily conceal, and that's because it's for me. I didn't get it for others to marvel at; I got it for me to think about that piece of my skin having that image to help center myself. I drew it myself - which took weeks of fucking up until I got…

None of mine have any particular stories but I still love them all and don't regret any.

Do not bargain shop for tattoos. Do not pick something off the wall. Do not get something with a lot of detail and freak out about the size and get it done too small because it will bleed together over the years and then you'll have a big black blob between your shoulder blades and it'll look awful. Talk to people…

It appears the quote was a parody created by the Celebitchy author. Typical Jezebel mis-communication/clickbaiting.

While I totally agree that pop is factory manufactured music, I think that Gaga, Bey, and Lana del Ray can actually sing. They've all done live, acoustic/instrumental performances that demonstrate it. Brit-Brit, on the other hand...

Actually, I'd believe that. Pink seems to be surprisingly focused on her craft as a singer. I was never fond of her when she first hit the scene but I've grown to really respect her. I can see her singing live.
