SHOW ME YOUR TATS

I want to get a tattoo... but I'm scared of needles, as you might be aware, but I'll post it once I get it.

Of course I have to decide on WHAT to get as a Tattoo, and that has ALREADY wasted away many hours (And enough people have convinced me that it won't hurt that bad that I may overcome my fear momentarily at least if I were to get one at some point).

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

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.


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. ^_^

Yeah thanks... I'm glad I'm not the only one who has Belonophobia and still got a Tattoo. The other question I have is: What Kind of Tattoo?. I already have decided on my upper arm (Since it can be covered with a sleeve) for the first one, and maybe upper shoulder/back area for another... but as to what to get... I'm stumped. This is both a major and minor decision, so I am doubly stuck as to what to possibly get.

If he ever gets the tattoo, you gotta take a pic of the two tattoos together. That would be awesome.

See I can't even watch people getting injected on TV or something... I have to turn away... but I guess since everyone has said its not that bad, I may be able to convince myself to do it at some point.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
