How does it feel to get a tattoo and what did you get?

I am not going to lie, it hurts. It's a different kind of hurt though. It's not like child birth or anything haha I have a 5 year old son, oh natural with no meds!!! Anyway, back to the point, it hurts. It's like a constant POKE and it burns. Depending on the spot you get it at, some will hurt more than others. I got my tattoo of my Granny(b&w portrait) in March 2008, on my arm just below my shoulder starts. It turned out to be a good spot because even in my short sleeved shirts you can't see it, good for WORK because my job has a STRICT NO tat policy. I was 23 when I got the tattoo, I turned 24, 2 weeks later. It was $200 from a guy I had heard of from alot of people...DO RESEARCH when you pick your artist so you don't say AHHH later. I gave him a $25 tip (YES tip them especially if they are giving you a good deal, so you can go back next time) and all I can say is I am TERRIFIED and I HATE needles, I can't STAND going to the doctors, but a tattoo is different and I can't wait to go back and get another portrait of my Grandpa on my other arm : ) GOOD LUCK!!!

It depends on where you get the tattoo. Some areas are more sensitive than others. I got one on my upper arm. It took about an hour and a half and cost $125.00. That was in 1992 or 1993. Just make sure the artist uses fresh new needles and you should be alright.

mine cost 30 and i was 16 its not too ad the pain - you can feel it go over the bone but its bareable

ok heres my tattoos: http://www.bebo.com/PhotoAlbumBig.jsp?MemberId=469597005&PhotoAlbumId=7244093740&PhotoId=7244144520 the dragon took 4 hours costing €80, i got it on my 18th birthday. the phoenix took 20 hours costing €600 i got it 2months ago. getting a tattoo is not as bad as you think it is. to me it feels like a cat scratch lasting a few hours :) some say its like a bad sun burn feel. but i've never had sunburn so i cant relate. and i've seen 3 different people come into the shop i work in saying they are scared of needles, and he came back a month later to get more done. needles aren't to visable and they don't go as deep as you injections you get in a doctors or hospital. good luck

I have five tattoos: a Haida moon with stars and "night sky" around it on my upper left arm, German script on each inner forearm, and a Ford Falcon emblem on my outer left forearm. None of them hurt; it was more like a sting. It's nothing to be afraid of at all. Good luck with it!

i have 6 tattoos wrist,ankle foot back,shoulder, hip,doesnt really hurt just like a scratch,well worth it.
