THERE IS NOTHING wrong with getting a tattoo...i would say just do it somewhere that is kind of hidden...its hard to hide tattoos that are very visible. IT HURTS! im not going to lie! IT HURTS A LOT lol be prepared! DEFINITELY work with your artist...VERY CLOSELY and look at his portfolio and make sure you like his work so you dont get something you hate!

the lower back isn't really painful at all. it's more of a strange scratchy sensation than pain. outline stings a bit, and filling in just feels scratchy. the one on my foot hurt easily ten times more than the one on my back.

in the UK you wouldn't be able to get a tattoo at 17. you need to be 18 here. do you have a design in mind already? this would be my deciding factor in whether or not you should consider going for it. I had my first design in my sketchbook for about 6 years, decided to go for it, and went to see if my design needed any tweaking, and it was perfect as it was. so I knew that it was a design I'd loved when I designed it (too young for a tattoo at that time) and when I had it done I still loved it. I still love it now. I have no doubt that I'll continue to love it. if you have the design in mind, and have done for enough time to know if it's a passing idea or one that you will love long term, then why not. but remember, tattoos are addictive. it's very hard to stop at one.
