    I'm getting my first tattoo this Saturday...chosen what I've wanted, the tattooist I want, got my time booked (2pm)...just one question...

    Does it hurt???
    i have eight tattoos so far...yes it hurts, but not enough from stopping you getting more.

    I have two ankle bands. I described the pain like cutting yourself shaving and running water directly in the cut. A bad stinging sensation. :eek:


    The one on the back of my neck tickled. Not kidding, no hurt, just a funny little tickle.

    Wish they could all be like that. :rolleyes:

    I've heard that the nearer the bonier parts the more it hurts, and the fleshy parts hurt less....not sure if that's crap. I've got one on the inside of both forearms and one on the top of my left arm, so they were quite fleshy. Don't know what to go for next though, can't really do one on the top of my right arm cos I got a big birthmark there and the tattooist said its not a good idea to tattoo over birthmarks or even freckles cos they bleed alot. Anyone know if that's true?
