Hi:

There is nothing you should be worried about except they can hurt. I have 3 tattoo's and the one on my ankle hurt like you wouldn't believe. I am not a doctor, but I don't think anything can go wrong. You should talk w/your doctor before you get one just in case. Take is safe before you do anything.

Besides talking to your doctor talk to the artist you have picked to do the tattoo. Make sure you have picked a clean place that you feel comfortable with. Look at the artist book to see what his/her work looks like. If you can talk to other people who have been to the place to see how they feel. Talk to the artist about his tools,the devices he uses to clean those tools. If the artist doesnt want to take the time to talk to you about it or answer any of your questions turn around and find another place.
As for it being painful that is a matter only you can decide. I have 8 tats and I can honsetly say that only one of those seemed painful to me and that is the one on my hip. I even have one on my left foot and that one didnt hurt to me at all. The other places I have tats are both my shoulder blades,left breast,left arm and right calf.

I agree with the others who have suggested talking to your doctors first. Just make sure you go to a good shop who sterlizes everything.

I would check w/ur Dr. just to make sure the meds you are on aren't gonna cause a problem with bleeding. Thats the only thing I can think of. Some people bleed more than others. I got my tattoo on my ankle and the guy was like your a bleeder. It kinda freaked me out. But everything was fine. I can't wait to get my next one. Have fun & be safe.
