Aspirin also decreases the clotting of blood, which will slow down your healing as well. In addition, artists do not appreciate tattooing people who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. I personally view the pain part of tattooing as a challenge to be overcome. I can leave with the sense that I am stronger than a lot of things I once thought were stronger than me. My tattoos have then become talisman if you will, to remind me of this lesson everyday.
People get tattoos for different reasons.
Some want to look good, others use tattooing as a symbolic mark of personal transformation. This is something you will live with for the rest of your life you should be VERY happy to have it. Make sure it does not turn into an embarrassment. You can get a tattoo anywhere on the body. You may want to keep in mind a few things though.
