My girlfriend has always loved my tattoos, so I never encountered any kind of problem. But I think if someone really loves you, they wouldn't care if you did or didn't have any. And if they don't like them to begin with, then they'll just need to get used to them if they want to stay with you!

I agree with this. I have Tattoos my husband does not. Hes not at all interested. But I think it shouldn't matter if you have tattoos or not. Being tattooed does not have the stigma of the old times. (Thank God!) I mean maybe some really narrow minded people might feel that way but for the most part its readily accepted and many many people have them young and old. If the person was so shallow as to judge you for your tattoos you wouldn't want to be with that kind of person anyway right?

I have both my hands tattooed and my hands swell a lot ! the pain level in my hands was not bad at all,but they puff up pretty good.so don't worry about the swelling, pretty normal IMO and it will go away,just try and keep your feet elevated as much as possible and take some OTC anti-inflammatory.
and IMO up the entire leg would look pretty fuckin' nice.

Thanks! Cant believe how swollen ankle and calf ended up! Especially where he connected the two tattoos. But it doesn't hurt and it's not in the itching stage yet. I dont have any redness just swelling. I'm looking forward to taking the tattoo farther up but have to do little at a time because I'm short on$$. It will get finished someday. Hopefully soon.

Thank you! Today it's really hot but not too much swelling. My foot swelled a lot but I'm hoping this won't be too bad! Thanks for your support!♡

Day 2 still quite swollen and hot but no real redness. Do you all think I should add a few more flowers? Should I stop here or bring it up the entire leg? Your ideas are welcome!

That looks Beautiful!! I love all the colors !! Wow looking great on day two. No redness and I cant see the swelling. I seem to swell with every tattoo. Your piece came out Great!

Crappy picture but my Ariel is finally done. This is 2 days after and I’m pretty bruised and swollen (my skin is super sensitive). I’m going to be working on a full sleeve with King Tritons castle, an octopus and possibly Flounder. I love Mermaids!!

I think it's a beautiful tattoo,it fits your leg just right,very nice !
from my experience the skin on that part of your leg will heal nicely,it's an easy heal area IMO.
and welcome to the forum AND the addiction !

Hi everyone just got this part up my leg today. Hope it heals as easily as my foot did! What do you all think of it? It's a cherry blossom.
