HAY GUYS

Unlike Vivi, I love tats. The only tattoo I have presently, unfortunately:

Percival from Sinfest. It has personal sentiment LOADED into it. It was also an 18th birthday present from my girlfriends. Located on the middle of my right upper-arm. (It's totally true that if you pick the scab after you get the tattoo, the ink comes out. You can see some spots where I tested the theory. Cry.)

I plan on getting more (believe me). I want a tattoo of three bumblebees on my shoulder, buzzing around - ALSO loaded with double sentiment. I just can't find a good artist to draw what I want. ;_;

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Seriously, it doesn't hurt that much, provided you don't get it somewhere where theres a lot of bone exposed just below the skin - like the spine. My best friends got theirs done on their spines and the tears wouldn't stop.

Not to mention you have to sit very still when the artist is working on you. It's hard at first since the buzzing (more than the needle really) scares you.

I am TERRIFIED of needles, I might add - but with a tattoo, you can't even really SEE it. It's just the buzzing of the gun. It bleeds a little, but its really no big deal. I was really scared, but it turned out to be kind of enjoyable.

Of course, my huge arms are not exactly prone to pain, so there's that. Your miles may vary.

I went with a friend of mine who is notoriously afraid of pain. When she turned 18, she went right out to get the Aerosmith emblem tattooed on her lower back. She COULD NOT stop moving when the gun hit - the artist fucked up several times and practically kicked her out. I had to sit there and try to calm her. =/

But really, it's NOT that bad. Maybe try a tiny little something before commiting to some larger.

Sass: That is an awesome tattoo... maybe you should get a adjoining Pooch to balance it out or something? I dunno.

Actually, Pang is supposed to be getting Pooch. It is a deal between he and I. I just really jumped the gun when I was younger and he has hated my tattoo since. ^_^

There's nowhere I can't reach.
