Soooo excited right now. I just began the adventure of a new tattoo, a rib piece. Just the out line was done today, which is all I could afford anyway smile. The ribs really do feel very similar to the foot, sort of a burning the whole time. Thanks to my friend for holding my hand the whole time! What an exciting day smile

I was in line for a Peter Murphy concert, and I was talking to a woman who had just had a tattoo on her foot. Two inscribed letters (OZ), which looked good because they had not been totally filled in with ink. She said it had not been because it was too painful.

I would like to get some tattoos, I know what I would like, and know what studio I would go to. I plan to get work done on my biceps. What does it feel like? What do I say to my friend who has a fear of needles?

That's so great and so exciting! I don't have by arms done, but I can tell you that it doesn't feel like separate needles as much as it does like a knife cutting. And that sounds very dramatic, but really the pain is totally bearable. At worst it burns a bit, but it most definitely does not feel like getting a needle poked into your skin over and over. I would tell your friend that pain is part of the process, and that its so different from getting pierced or getting a shot that she does not need to equate them in her fear of needles. I hope that helps!!
