Bass Tattoo Club!!!

I really dont want to come across as a wimp but i've always wondered what getting a tatoo feels like.
Ps. I really want a bass clef on my right shoulder and a treble clef on my left shoulder.

Not wimpy. Legit question. I saw it compared to needles (kind of), and it's not really the same thing. For phlebotomy certification, you get stuck with needles say a dozen times a night four days a week. That's a quick in and out thing, but it's more pain at one time. A tattoo is much less pain but over a longer period of time. It's maybe like someone scrubbing a sun burn with steel wool. Or a sponge? I don't know. It's not that bad. Get a small one on an easy area first (and make sure your blood sugar is good, or you might get light headed).
 
Guess I've been neglecting my duties.

To me, except for a bit of the coloring in near the outline edging it definatly doesn't hurt much at all. But mine are small, and i have chronic pain anyway. Tripping over a blackberry cane in sandals hurts much more, and for longer than a new tat, IMO
