Getting a Tattoo

January 4, 2013 5:36am CST
Hello, i am 18 yo and from like 2 years i have some fix idea to make myself a tattoo.Now when i'm already an adult and i can act on my own i decide it's time.Still i'm kinda afraid, because i'v heard it kinda hurts and the tattoo i'm going for is kinda big and probably will take like 5-6 hours. Have you made yourself a tattoo? And if yes, did it hurt? Also where you made your first tattoo, because this is something i think for as well.

Hello, Well yes i have a tattoo made on my leg last year even i always wanted to make a tattoo. I must say it is painful, but i think the pain is bearable you can bear the pain and it is one time. You are interested in making a tattoo so i think you will love taking the pain.

I heard that if the tatto is smaller the pain from it can be compared to the pain from epilate a hairy leg. :d Not sure if it's true tho.I would love to hear more about it.

Everyone I have talked to who has gotten a tattoo says that yes it hurts, but in a different way than what we're used to (my sister, who has about 20 tattoos, says you kind of 'get used to it'). The color hurts the worst I hear. But if you really want a tattoo, don't let the fear of pain dictate getting it. You will regret it if you don't get it, possibly. The waiting/anticipation always seems to be worse than the actual act in itself, wouldn't you say?

Yea, you are right for this one.I had big fear from needles before, but after taking a few i understand it's not such a big deal.The pain isn't the things that will stop me for sure, i'm just curious about it. :)
