How much does it actually hurt??

I have heard alot of different answers to that question. But I guess that I can find out the answers here.. I want to get a heart and my 2 kids name on my right upper arm but wanted to know how much it actually hurt.. also how much should one of thoes go for.. Please let me know....

You're talking about the area of the body which will likely hurt the LEAST..............................And I can almost promise you that it isn't going to hurt anything like you expect. If you can keep yourself relaxed the day of, you'll start out that much further ahead. Perception of pain has a lot to do with it as well..............as the time passes you may notice that the pain takes on different qualities, and at times can even be hypnotic or soothing (believe it or not). Bottom line, it isn't anything that you can't tolerate, and you may find yourself chuckling about it later on.................. Let us know how it goes. Good Luck! TCE

Yeah, it's soothing alright. Right up until they hit that little nerve that makes about 3 different parts of your body twitch at one time. But I'm sure you'll be fine.

Oh girl, not on the arm!!!!!!!!!!!

Dammit TCE.... can't ya just let me have a little fun with people that ask if it's going to hurt?

Aaron, If you have ever had a sun burn then that is the closest destription to what getting a tattoo is like....after the needles. It's just a minor irritaion of the skin.... and on the shoulder, you should have little to no "pain" at all. Prices are something that can not be given out over the internet simpley because it varries too much. Best you can do is find a GOOD....let me say that again...GOOD artist in your area and speak with them. I am sure that some of the other regs. on here know of a GOOD artist in your neck of the woods....guys, anyone, help the man out..... Enjoy my man and welcome to the inked tribe. Let us know how it goes! Happy tattooing....J

Getting to know you theval, I don't know.....................maybe it did trigger something in you.............

Okay, let's alter our approach....................... Of course it's going to hurt!!!!! Like 4000 bee stings each minute, for as many minutes as it take!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's effectively the same thing, save the caustic venom; but a little stinger sewing lines into your skin.......................think about it...........PAIN......PAIN......PAIN!!!!!!

....*SMACK!*....Lay down!

Most people say that its annoying rather than really painful. I don't think the upper arm hurt at all...Prices?...Nope ...go find an artist!
