Wanting a tat for the 1st time.

Does it hurt??? I have 3 piercings in very sensitive areas. Compare that to a tat which one hurts worse???

yes, it hurts. you can handle it no problem though. Your no wussie! :-)

Oh come on! If I can read my book for two hours while getting tattooed, it can't hurt too bad!

heh, right, I actually fell alseep when Lou Jaxque was tattooing my leg... just for a minute or two. Man, I tell you, that was real wierd waking up!

Heh, but if the tattoo on my neck was the first, it would have been the last. But every time I get tattooed i think, shit, this hurts, why am I doing this again?

Hey, I will admit that my neck tattoo was probably the most painful one I had ever gotten. Instead of the sting just following the needle, it flat out hurt. No matter, I was back in the shop a couple of weeks later.

Compared to piercing? I think the pain of piercing's a whole lot worse but quicker. If you can take the piercing then the tattoo will be no problem. The legs and arms are the least painful while places like the ribs are a little more sensitive. It's one of the things (like piercing) that you have to experience for yourself to know exactly how it feels. Remember, some people are more sensitive to pain than others. Good luck!
