Getting my first tattoo in about 12 hours

[child of wonder]

I got a small one on my left shoulder a few years back. It hurts but nothing intolerable. Just breathe, relax, and you'll be fine. And, as others have said, make damn sure you follow the after care instructions.

I can't believe this thread is still alive. I too am now in the healing/recovery stage of my tattoo. I think it turned out good, but he said to come back in 4-5 weeks to do some minor touch ups. The process itself was pretty straight forward, it did hurt, but nothing compared to when I had teeth pulled. The best way I've been able to but it thus far is that there was pain, but not enough to illicit any emotion.

Why not? Everyone expresses themselves in different ways.

That's right.

Your special, just like everyone else.

I don't get the whole tattoo thing, but hey, to each his own. I'd never get one, they're just waaaay to permanent. Just because I like something today doesn't mean I'll like it 20 years from now.

I understand. I can barely commit to a tie every morning, let alone a permanent piece of bodyart that looks like it belongs on the side of a 1970s pothead van.

I'll try and post a picture once it's a bit more healed, it'll look a lot better.
