Yep...I have 4, and would like more. As far as my pain comment, I guess to me, that was such a small consideration. I just feel if you are so worried about the pain, you probably aren't committed to the idea. In my experience, it doesnt really hurt too bad, as the poster above said. Its more of an irritation.

the reason i ask about pain. is because well it will be my first tat, and all of my friends who have them all say it either hurt or didn't. i am committed to the idea because i've wanted one for a year. i just want to beable to mentally prepare myself for what is to come.Eyescream said:
Eyescream said:Not pain so much as irritation. Think of a cat scratching you for an extended period of time. After about 5 hours it starts to get raw.
yup.. i compare it to being stung by a bee in the same area for hmmm say about 2 hours?? word to that eyescream!
i currently have both calves done, working on 2 sleeves and my back... Link Removed a shot of my forearm about 2 months ago (calves and sleeves are almost done now!!!). crappy photo though cuz you can't see the rest of 'em! hurts like a beeeyatch but when your girl is a bada$$ tattoo artist you deal with it! i like to watch TV when i get mine done to distract myself from the pain. Stay away from painkillers though! they only add to the pain. your head starts to focus on the area and you can't get away from it. i think the coolest buzz is the endorphins rushing afterwards and then you sip a beer... oh man! the bomb..
