Question

Im gettiing a tattoo on my wrist. And my mothers says no not there becasue of the veins. But i dont think it would be much of a problem. Its going to be my dogs name and paw prints around it(we had her for 5 years and now have to give her up =/ Anybody wannt a doberman pincher?? ) But yeah i really want it there. What other places are there??

Answer 1

If it's small enough to be covered up by a watch, then it is too small. There won't be enough detail and you will be left with a blob.

EDIT:: Fine. If you are so set on getting this tattoo, why are you asking us? I personally think it's stupid.

Answer 2

Other places: your whole body.

You don't have to worry about your veins because the paint is going just a little under a few layers of your skin.  It does not go inches deep or so.  I have a few tattoos myself and I never had any diseases resulting from them.

By the way:  you won't be able to wear a watch at that place because your skin needs to heal first.  Also, some employers will not allow you to wear watches at work (McDonald's for example).

Answer 3

on your back i guess.

but i like the wrist idea.

Answer 4

Sophy. I'm afraid i must tell you that many woman regrets their tattoo. Especially when they're about to get married, go swimming, etc. Spending even more money to 'erase' the 'd**n' thing. Think twice before you do it.  

Answer 5

What about your veins is your mother concerned about? That the artist will hit the veins? That the veins need to to visible for medical reasons? Either way she is incorrect.

I have tattoos on both of my inner wrists and people often work with me for months before they notice them.  

You could consider another location if this is your first tattoo, however.  Your wrist is a very public place to get a tattoo, you might want to try getting it in a place you can hide if this is your first.

Veins definitely aren't an issue. Just make sure you go to a reputable studio. There are so many bad ones out there. Depending on where you live I could recommend a few...

Wrist is quite a painful place as well, but, as with all tattoos, it's totally bearable.

It's a nice place for tattoos but also a bit cliche. Why not go for somewhere a bit more unusual. I guess it depends on whether you are getting any more done as well.

Not that I would usually promote celeb tattoos but Angelina and Posh's back placement of theirs is different, but works.

Or how about tiny behind your ears? I think this placement is cute.

Lastly but by no means least, are you really sure you want this put on your body for the rest of your life? I know it sounds patronizing but it's worth emphasizing. I'm a big fan of tattoos (I have pieces on my arms, legs, back, wrist, ribs and chest) but so many people don't think long and hard enough about what they want.

I know SO many people who regret tattoo's they have had done. If I'm very honest with you, I think paw prints will date and look tacky in time.

Why not find a reputable studio then work with one of the artists there to come up with something original, this will be a special way to remember your dog.

Hope this helps. x

Answer 7

There aren't any medical issues that I'm aware of for getting a tattoo on the wrist.  I have quite a few friends with tattoos there.  I would make sure it can be covered though.  I have two tattoos and I'm glad I got them in hidden spots because I now have a really good job.  Tattoos aren't appropriate for the office.  But in some jobs they are perfectly acceptable, so maybe consider what you want to do with your life beforehand.

Answer 8

Tell your mother that people have been getting their wrists tattooed for yeeeeears. If veins were issues, I'm pretty sure they would've stopped doing that by now.
