Tatoos do they really hurt ?
I want one but im a soft shite and scared of the pain. Is it really 'that' painful ?
I want a one on my shoulder, just a little un but im scared stiff to get one.

Health!
I've not had a tattoo myself but from what I've heard they hurt like hell. Depends on your pain threshold though I guess!
Guess you feel it when the needle first goes in and when they first start but after a while i found my arm just went numb.
I think im quite tolorant to that kind of pain though i sat quite happily watching the guy do it all the way through but for someone else it could be a nightmare.
You will know yourself if you can handle it really, if you have got these kind of fears and think you will flip out dont bother but if you think you could sit through it go for it i say!
Just make sure you go to a proper place and have one you know you wont end up hating later on!
Im not wrinkly
If I tell you i can bear getting my legs waxed does that help ? like if I can bear that can i bear a tattoo ?
yeah i know where Id go for it, its a reputable place.
My hubby reckons it will kill me but i think he's just saying that so I dont get one. Even if i did get one it would only be a small thing on my shoulder.
If you are theres no reason why you cant do it.
Oh yeah, as long as i dont look
when I was pregnant i had iron injections and they are real barstewards, i was black and blue after.
cheers, I might just get one now
Tara im of to bed
Good luck!
Dont let the other half put you off!
i was pestered by my girl about getting one done because she was thinking about getting one too, i wasnt really bothered about getting one until then but soon as i had it done i was glad i did.
:yes:
and at the back of your hips, if you have bony hips
the biker guy who was ahead of me cried. i chuckled.
it's very different to blood test pain, or waxing pain though. blood tests don't even register on the pain scale in comparison. waxing hurts, yeah, but it hurts for about a second at a time. this is continuous pain for longer (over an hour with me - i wish i'd gone numb!).
Yeah, base of spine hurts like hell cos theres so many nerve endings there. No-one told me that beforehand tho...
There was this huge bloke covered in tats looking at me getting mine done and he made that backward whistling sound and said, 'oh well, at least women take the pain better than men'.
So there you go.
Hard to Explain! :eek2:
Tips, how I got through it: Chew gum and try and concentrate on something else in the room... like counting the tiles on the floor etc.
That's what I did.
Though you say you want it on your arm, which I heard aint as bad, as my sister got on on her spine, same as me and one on her shoulder which she found was alot more bearable. Sooo.... Good Luck Hun!!
