okk.. im getting a tattoo at the end of the summer.. i already have my design picked out, my artist will be drawing it up for me.. im getting angel wings on my upper back, with my sons names in them. and i have 2 quotes that i love, but cant decide which one i love more, and i plan on talking to my artist about the placement.. first off, lets vote of which quote is best (and of course i will ultimately make the decision since this will be forever on my body!!)
quote one.. where there is love, there are always miracles
or
quote two.. love ever after

now my other questions.. my husband thinks i dont understand how painful a tattoo will truly be, so i just want to know from people who have tattoos, preferably in the same spot that im getting mine.. what does it feel like, in the best description you can give, please…i will be getting mine on my upper back, right on my shoulder blades, i dont plan on having the wings touching on my spine, they will be on the sides of my spine, but not touching it. and from top to tip of wing probably about 7in. long.. so im sure this tattoo is going to take 3 or more hours, with shading.. which i plan to do in one sitting. ill probably take ibprofen before i go, to try to help me cope, and my best friend will be there to keep me talking an occupied. please give me helpful tips to prepare me, im really excited about this, but like i said, my husband thinks i should have a little fear, and thinks i dont have a clue whats coming.. lol, hes probably right (and yes, he has tattoos.)

i have actually decided to get something smaller, on my upper back, left side.. im getting the quote "where there is great love, God always presents miracles." and im getting a shooting star across the top, and one across the bottom, to symbolize my 2 kids. this tattoo will take about 30 minutes to do, and is wayyy smaller. after carefully thinking about it, the angel wings is a lot for a first tattoo!!

If you want it unique make sure the artist does a good job. So many people are doing the angel wings right now, a dime a dozen, kind of took over the whole fairy craze.

I like the first quote.

I have tattoos in the same area.. best way to describe is having cat nails dragged along your back none stop. It hurts, no tattoo feels nice however this was my least painful spot. Maybe try something small first in a fleshy area such as your behind. It is going to hurt, but if you can take that then you can do a big one. Three hours is a LONG time for a first tattoo,you dont want to bail out. Shading is the worst and hurts the most, after is very painful too and feels like a very bad excruciating sunburn.

Honestly get somethign small first, like a 20 minute job.
