Wow - they have done a really good job. I could never do it though, theres just something so perminant about that puts me off. But it would be fun to get one of the fake ones.

awww I want one done now (especially with that cream that numbs it, thanks for that Robyn  )
I want to get her name in nice scrolly writing and then a lilly (like those white and pink ones (I think they're called Tiger Lillies?)
I have no idea where I would want it though, somewhere not visible to anyone else (i.e. under clothes).
I wonder how much something like that would cost?

Both Maya's handprint and the twins names cost me $200 each altho I did get a really good deal on the twins one coz the guy is a mate of my brothers, normally it would have been around $280.
Color is generally dearer than black and it depends on how big you want it but you can probably get something nice done for under $300.

Tattoos are expensive, but worth it in my experience. My tatt is going to cost me $200 as well, as an early bday present from DH. I also just thought I'd mention that my tattooist's studio and a couple of other places I've been too won't use numbing creams or anaesthetic, because it interferes with the body's natural responses.

I don't know that I'd bother with anasthetic - it doesn't actually hurt anywhere near as much as you'd think.

Ditto !  Esp. if it's a long session, I just tend to 'zone out' after a while... and if there's relaxing / interesting music on, and I get chatting to the tattooist, the time just flies.

take your MP3 player or something and concentrate on the music. Its more annoying than painful. There is a place in chch that actually offers anesthetic and know of at least 6 people who have used the emla cream with no problems, me included when i got the one on my spine cos i was told its really painful there but i didnt even realise he had started, didnt feel a thing.
Ive decided that getting my next tat will be my 10kg weight loss goal cos i really want to get it so hopefully that might help speed up the weight loss! I wonder if tats are more expensive up north then, neither of mine cost over $100 although they aren't that big.
