I've told hubby I want a tattoo voucher for Xmas. I've only got a small rose on my arm and can't remember how much it hurt so please tell me the truth! It will be across a shoulder blade and I want "there is no greater love than between mother and child" then Chloe and Mitch (my kids!) underneath. How long do you think that would take? And how much roughly (London rates) do you think it would cost?? Thank you xxxx
I'm feeling a tattoo coming on

No idea on prices in London, I pay £90 an hour but I'm in cambs.... Shouldn't take long, my entire inside of my arm took 3 hours... It nips a bit accross the blades but it's not a very painful place to get a tat, pop into a tattooist with your design and they will be able to quote you xx
That's really helpful, thank you
I haven't got a design as such, just my quote , will they be able to show me different styles of writing and maybe 2 little stars next to the names ?
Blimey, I'm adding to it now which means more pain and more money hahaxc

Yes usually they can do that for you, but I always want something different so I type it up in word and play with the fonts... Makes it more your own
stars would be very easy for them to do, just make sure it's a reputable artist that's doing it, nothing worse than wonky writing check out their portfolio xxYes usually they can do that for you, but I always want something different so I type it up in word and play with the fonts...

Great advice thanks. I'm gonna try and get in with Lal Hardy in north London coz he did one of my hubby's years ago and it still looks fab!
Thanks again for your help, I'll post a pic afterwards (gulp) xx

Thanks ladies . It took about 2 hours all together. I got the wording done and then went back to get shading. It was pretty painful , was told by the tattooist that ribs are one of the sorest spots (didn't appreciate that just before I lay down for him to start haha!) x

I would prob say that the shading was slightly more painful but worth it in the end. X

The reason for the huge price difference was because I got my shading some at another tattoo parlour (my OH had got me £100 voucher for this place). Where in the UK are you? X

Ive wanted a tattoo for a while now,since 2010 when i had my best year and went traveiling but couldn't quite get what i wanted, now decided what i want and I know i want it on my ribs going across not down, i want it quite small because its my first and most probably the only one i will have
I heard its very painful (typical of me to choose the most paiful part!)
Can anyone explain to me the pain? i want to get myself geared up for it and also I want it so bad but im so scared!!!! I have no idea where to start with tattoos plus im scared my dad will see it and he freak! anyone else have that problem?? lol
