TheAsian Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Nice to meet everyone. I've just stepped foot into the tattoo world. I got my first tattoo yesterday at Vagrant Souls in Brooklyn. Awesome, awesome place. At the moment, I am using a thin layer of Aquaphor after rinsing with soap. I'm assuming I should switch to lotion after a few days? Also I realize this might not have been the best place for a first tattoo but it was a spur of the moment type thing, lol. YOLO Also, those are chinese characters which translates to "Love Parents" Anyway, nice to meet everyone! bedoktime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finegentleman Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 That was pretty reckless. I can respect that. I'm Asian too and around the same age. Unless you're one of those Asians that look like they're 20 when they're actually 35. Also from New York. dude how did your parents react?

tacifone Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I am also new to the forums. That's cool that you went for a placement like that for your first tattoo. Hopefully going to get my first in a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha.. man, the thought of getting a tattoo popped into my head and I literally went to do it right after. I'm sort of a see things through type of person. And no, I'm 18 haha. My parents? Well, my parents got divorced so I only had to face the wraith of my mom. She was kind of accepting which was kind of weird since she had told me in the past to never get a tattoo. I am also new to the forums. That's cool that you went for a placement like that for your first tattoo. Hopefully going to get my first in a few months. Yeah thanks man. Good luck on yours!

TheAsian Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Yeah it can, I realize that. Although I plan on majoring in Criminal Justice and getting a job with law enforcement. I see plenty of cops with tattoos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongsau Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Welcome bud! It's pretty tame for a neck tattoo, so your future is still bright as long as you work hard. Now you've popped the tattoo cherry, go get some body work haha Just don't get a grenade on your hand as the next tattoo otherwise I will flame you Beans and misterJ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAsian Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 What does the tattoo say? "Love Parents" Whatever happened to the good old arm I feel like its very clichéd, everyone gets their arm done first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcom Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 @TheAsian, Been so young a neck tattoo was definitely a bold move. Here in Houston, Police officers must hide their tattoos and to my understanding neck tattoos are not allowed period. I could be wrong but this is what I got from my neighbor who is HPD Investigator. This type of tattoos I called "Life changing decisions" :D and I am not there yet.... I do applause you to take such bold move. At any rate, Its cool and for sure different for your first tattoo! don't listen to me nor others, You do what you like and what makes you happy... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knucklehead211 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I'd probably go with worried to be honest. I'm looking at a career in law enforcement too, and most places will not even allow half sleeves. Neck and below the elbow are no go. However, it probably makes sense to research the departments around you's rules. Most of them are easy to find on google. mtlsam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutOfIdeas Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Not to rain on your parade, but a lot of police forces across the country have policies against visible tattoos. Edit: sorry I didn't realize the poster above me just covered this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAsian Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Well, it is what it is. I'm only 18 atm and have plenty of time to do whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdots Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Very gutsy, I respect it. Like others said though, it might hurt a little in the future. Related question- I thought most shops don't tattoo hands/neck/face on people who aren't decently covered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
