petepunter Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 My 63yr old dad is keen on getting some small script writing on his Inner Wrist so he can cover it with a watch so my mum cant see lol :). I have told him not to get a showy tattoo for his first piece of work when he has his whole body to work with plus he wont be able to cover it with a watch straight after it gets done anyway Any thoughts or just let him do what he wants and let him regret it if he does not like it as I have been through the whole 9 yards good tats, laser & coverups over the years and know what your first tattoo can do to you mentality when your not used to ink on your body I remember the next day after my first thinking what have I done as I only got the outline thinking it would be a painful experience and ended up with a full nature piece a few weeks later. I am glad I have finally hit the stage where I love all my tattoos now but dont want him to go through the same thing.

Graeme Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Man, he's 63 and you're talking about him like he's a teenager. Make sure he doesn't get it upside down.

Scott R Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 if he is going to go to a cheap shop let him get the wrist script. If he is going to a good one don't let him get the wrist script :) slayer9019 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2973-inner-wrist-for-first-tattoo/#findComment-50274 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptCanada Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 if he is going to go to a cheap shop let him get the wrist script. If he is going to a good one don't let him get the wrist script :) This confuses me, why only go to cheap shop for a wrist script? Imagine getting something from say Katie Sellergren. Right off the bat he would have an awesome tattoo that's well written. Sure script on the wrist isn't the best tattoo placement and size wise, but he's 63... even if his wife gets angry so what.

Idahoink Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Very much agree with the above posters. I am not sure I feel comfortable judging a 63 year old man's decision to get a tattoo and/or the placement. Right or wrong, let him enjoy his life and body art. Good luck to the both of you.

petepunter Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Thanks guys, I will let him do what he wants. I wasn't judging its something I think he hasn't thought through properly though Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2973-inner-wrist-for-first-tattoo/#findComment-50292 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply meant if he is going to a a place because of price, limit the blowback by only getting small script instead of getting average/below average image that would be bigger slayer9019 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2973-inner-wrist-for-first-tattoo/#findComment-50304 Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayer9019 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 This could end up being a "gateway tattoo". Who knows maybe it could spark the idea for an epic backpiece? I know there are some older members here that started late too.

Lance Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 He's 63. For his first tattoo he should get a badass eagle chest piece ;-) slayer9019, Duffa, WGDRMZwylie and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2973-inner-wrist-for-first-tattoo/#findComment-50346 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogrider Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 My 63yr old dad is keen on getting some small script writing on his Inner Wrist so he can cover it with a watch so my mum cant see lol :). I don't know how serious you are about the cover it up part, but if he's thinking about covering it up, his wrist is the wrong place to get it. He should write the script on his wrist with a magic marker and spend a few days seeing how he likes it before he gets it permanently tattooed on.

Panther on one side... satanic star on the other side, or go home.

sarapressey Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I am not a fan of a first tattoo being on the wrist, but it doesn't sound like a big deal. However, I concur with other posters-- a badass chest piece would be great. ;) Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2973-inner-wrist-for-first-tattoo/#findComment-54169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
