Okay,I have a friend that has a tattoo and she says that I should get one! I would like to get a small one of star or a heart of some sort but i'm afraid it's goin' to hurt ALOT! I'm not a needle fan! Exactly how much does a tattoo hurt to get?

First, don't get a tattoo just because your friend said you should.

Also, if you've looked on the website, one of the tattoo mistakes that that cast warns against is getting a tattoo that is too small. Tattoos are living art, not just something cute and tiny.

As for the pain, it depends on the location and the pain threshold of the individual. I'm also afraid of needles but the speed means that it doesn't feel anything like getting a shot. Imagine you got a really bad sunburn, then imagine that someone ran their fingernails over your burn. Yeah, it hurts. But after some minutes, your adrenaline will kick in and the endorphins will start flowing. It doesn't feel good but if you have to sit for an hour or more, it won't be pure torture.

Well I wasn't goin' to do it because my friend said so and maybe I don't want some huge tattoo on my ankle or whatever!

well if u do get somethin small just make sure its not really detailed or else it will look like a blob of ink later

...and if the tattoo you want is a "tiny" star or heart or "whatever", then it will only take about a half hour or so. A half hour of slight pain for a lifetime of something beautiful that you love. Don't be such a puss. lol

i'm planning to get my tattoo first week of july and i'm quite excited about it but what i don't know is if i could tolerate it, it would be my first tattoo it's an ambigram of my name and my boyfriends name, last week was my schedule but my boyfriend told me that he will be the one to pay for it it would be his gift....i just don't know if i can handle the pain....

i just have my tattoo and i love it. it was my choice of design, i have it saturday june 27 and wheeeeew....it was okay not much painful my next project will be the black goth roses at my back

The pain is unbearable! You bleed, its needles, it hurts for days after, it burns! =( especially in the sun and you cant swim and it itches. For the love of GOD, DONT DO IT!

pinch your self over and over realy fast and it kinda feels like that

it depends on each of us , i got my 10th tattoo this 27 august , the during of the tattoo for this one took 3 hours , i went to the restroom 3 times , my tattoo artist i know for so long and he got 25 years of experience, he didn't stop , i control the pain and i don't feel it at all , from all my tattoos , it's different from each of us , some feel pain , some not , or you cheat and put a special cream from the first lines , and after you go on .

on the tv show , the tattoo are showned fast , it takes more times , and i know tattoo since a long time , and from generation to generation , and tattoo book where it comes froms and not from prison dude ... sometime i would work with my tattoo artist but it's his buisness , and i made a video for all my tattoo to show if you wanna see it i'll show it .

but think before doing it , and choose carefully what you are making , you don't have to go in hospital and do lazer treatment , you can get a cover up , i've done that for 1 tattoo's especially and my shark one cause the ink was too old . and if i have any room left

i'm too fury , i would certainly have a portrait from kat and a special dragon from corey , but no room left and 10 big tattoo's i think it's enough .

that's my advice , and don't do a tattoo just because you friend told you to do one .

for the pain you talk to the wrong guy .

The Shredder

my first tattoo artist was really young , he

didn't let me think it was the gargoyle from bram stoker dracula's

the demon vampire face he done that .

and my personnal tattoo artist that's have 25 years old experience is 42 years old , and look at the cover up i choose and he's ideas done that : http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk223/mrtattoo_2008/avantmodificationdetatooetapresmodi.jpg

so don't go to the hospital remove it , do a cover up if you can . and if it's possible , it was possible for me . i'm glad . this is my video i made : http://s281.photobucket.com/albums/kk223/mrtattoo_2008/?action=view¤t=fearvideo.flv
