Title: Tattoo woes
Post by: Lily.Arwen on November 16, 2016, 12:46:48 PM
As I have posted, I want to get tattoos at some point later in my transition.

But I have so much damn body hair. And hair removal when there are tattoos is a no no. Potential for huge pain and burns and skin damage.

So, should I just wait until I get hair removal, or should I get the tattoo I want and not worry about hair removal for that part of the body?

Sorry, I think this is more of a moan than anything constructive...

If you know where you want the tattoo, make that area a priority in the hair removal processes (laser or electrolysis). That way the area is clear later on and you can get the tat without further ado.
