[A] tattoo and necklace

Pieces_of_SEVEN · #1 18th July 2009, 02:49 AM

1- I am getting an "A" tattoo on my wrist.
I'm scared though! It's my first tattoo and I'm really afraid that it won't look right...it needs to be precise and exact. Should I be worried??

2- I would LOVE a necklace with a silver "A" logo on it, with like a black lace. I have tried eBay but they are so rare and hard to find! Anyone know where I can get one?

I don't know much about tattoos, but you should probably do some research on the internet beforehand, and make sure the tattoo shop you're going to is legit (i.e. properly cleans/sterilizes their instruments after each use).

I've wanted an "A" necklace like that for some time, too, but I've never been able to find one. Aside from any "A" jewelry we've seen Ayu herself wear, I don't know if they make any!

I've definitely SEEN what I'm looking for in terms of the necklace on eBay before...but I didn't grab it, it was long ago.

Hmm...sucks. I wound rock that every day. lol

^ silver A necklaces are easy to find in Japan. Most vendors outside of her concerts have them. (they aren't exactly official merchandise.)

or you can make one

rakeru · #6 18th July 2009, 04:32 AM

^ how would you make one?

anyway, i don't know exactly where to get an A necklace (i've been trying for a while too), but on Amazon you can sometimes find replicas of necklaces Ayu has worn in magazines and stuff. it's not as good as the A symbol, but still cute.

You can make your own "A" necklace by buying an Ayu cell phone strap or key chain that has a silver "A" logo attached to it.

Once you have one, you just need to take it off, put a small ring around it and get your black cord.

Mine is on a silver chain, that's my preference.

on ur wrist, is that safe? close to alot of veins there. alot of places suggest not getting tattoos on certain places like that and the hands, and whatnot. cause theres not alot of deep enough flesh.

1) Don't tattoo!!! It's a permanent. You'll get bored with it. If I were you, I just used pen to draw the A at my wrist.

2) Sorry. Can't help.

about getting a tattoo, are you 100% sure you want to do that?

what if years from now, you don't like ayu anymore, but that tattoo will be there forever, and it will be even MORE PAINFUL to get it remove

1) Tattoo, tattoo

I've got an 'A' tattoo myself, and I think you should go for it, as long as you're 100% sure. You have to imagine yourself 50 years old with it,. Will you still love it as much? Hm?
Make sure you take a trace of the symbol, you don't want ANY ONE doing that thing free hand.

2) I made my necklace from an official key ring, I just took the A symbol off.

My sister has a "L" for her name in olde english on her wrist
It does look really nice , so i think you should.
But you do have to be careful about the people you are going to, ask around a few tattoo places and ask if you can see their work, they will be happy you asked actually.

i used to want an "A" tattoo, now i figured...i probaly shouldn't get it as my first tattoo, because its your first...its good your going small for your first, but just be sure if you want something signifying an artist whom you like.

A friend had the ACDC on her waist...it looked good at first, but she went off the band and she regrets having it done.

Pieces_of_SEVEN · #13 19th July 2009, 04:54 AM

I have been an obsessed, die-heard fan or ayu since Duty was released.
I could go in depth, but I know that I will never tire of her music.
She is my hero, and that is what I want this tattoo.

I'm not sure about the safety of the wrist, but that is really the only place that I would want to get it...hm....

~Saru · #14 19th July 2009, 10:58 PM

Yeah, i would deffinatly go for it then.

but if you are unsure of the place you are going to, ask around other places and ask to see their work what they have done...
But the "L" on my sisters wrist takes up like...her whole wrist..its like on her veins and everything and no problems so far...its been there for 2 years now and its fine.

AGREEEEE!!

1. A Lot of people, A LOT, of people have tattoos on their wrists. It's not going to hurt you to get one there, but just be prepared to have it permanent.

And I know that sounds really trivial, but be ready to accept it. For example, at your job, you might need to cover it because it's unprofessional.

Just seriously, think about the consequences and stuff, and extra care you'll have to take, and remember that it's permanent lol

And if you still want it, go for it

2. I have a silver A and a gold A necklace, made from chains that I went out and bought, and just attached the A's from the AT08 pouch, and the AT08 key ring to.

I <3 them. Although...everyone asks me what it says in Japanese

Apparently it looks very much like a Japanese character to Americans.

1)I've thought of a tatto also, but I don't want to do something I'll regret. If I were to do that, I'd do it somewhere less conspicuous. So that way if I change my mind about it later I can at least cover it up when I want to. Not that Ayu is something to be ashamed of, but just in case.

2)I'm getting an A necklace made right now

! I went to a jeweller and put in a custom order. It should be done in a week or so.

I'll put up some pictures when I get it, and some details of how I went about it, for if anyone else is interested in doing the same.
But first I'll wait until I get mine, and make sure it turned out the way I wanted.

Pieces_of_SEVEN · #18 20th July 2009, 06:22 PM

Mariah, that's awesome!
May I ask how much they are charging you?

(And by "A" necklace, I meant the "A" symbol, not just the letter A lol)

Yes, The A + H symbol

I never really know what to call it

They charged me mostly by the weight of the material that will be used. Which is silver. I went to a small jeweller, not some fancy jewellery store. Its cheaper, and the guy there will actually do this kind of custom work. In the end it cost me about $200 US.

Like I said though, more details later if it turns out good

I found a totally cheapo, close enough to Ayu symbol necklace on amazon.

(:
I can't find an Ayu necklace, so I might just get this myself!
