Ow!

Ow! Ow! Ow!

I'd forgotten how much a tattoo freaking hurts!

(Actually, I don't think the last one hurt this bad. Ow!)

Note to self: buy painkillers.

I'm wincing in sympathy here... what and where?

LOL! It's on my right forearm, just above the wrist.

As for what - it's red and black, kind of tribal-ish. My own design. (It started as a Klingon weapon and I sorta kept adding bits until it looked cool.) I'll take a photo for you when it's healed up a little :-)

LOL - I was on the verge of requesting a photo and then thought better - it might have been someplace hard to reach!

Hope the pain fades soon... and boy are you ever braver than me *hg*

I think stupid rather than brave. It's my second tat: the first one I had Sis standing over me so I had to pretend like it didn't hurt. (Though I honestly don't remember it being painful last time. Different place, different nerve endings, maybe.)

I don't care. It won't hurt more than a day or two and it looks really cool! And I can see this one! (That first one is on the back of my neck - it looks great but I can't see it.)

I'm WAY too chicken to ever get a tattoo! So not into THAT kind of pain! *g*

I'll be looking forward to the photo. =>}

Oh, but it's so worth it! I think so, anyway. I got all the usual lectures from my mum about it when I was a kid: it's dangerous, it hurts worse than a burn (not true), what if you change your mind later....

I love my tattoos!

I sure HOPE you love them, since you just got another one! *g*

WAY back in 1968 when I finally got my ears pierced, if it had been the fashion to have ONE ear pierced, I would've left after the first hole, it hurt so damned much. And bled.

*sigh* I am such a wuss. =>}

I hope the pain eases soon.

My friend had a tattoo done for a recent milestone birthday. Chinese symbols on her arm. It looks nice and I am kind of tempted, but I have a low pain threshold so will probably never, ever take the plunge.

I've never regretted the first one, and I won't regret this one, either. "No pain, no gain", I guess.

Everyone's different. When I had my first tat I thought the pain thing had been seriously exaggerated, because getting it done didn't hurt that much. But this time...well, I think it's the place I chose: there's more nerve endings there.

'Tis a bit better this morning.
