It hurt closer to the armpit. The tattoo artist said it's the most sensitive spot to get one done. It hurt a little at the bottom too. Other then that it didnt hurt it just felt annoying.

Marigold2, some people like tattoos and some don't. Some people like piercings and some don't. It's all our own personal opinions and we all seem to coexist pretty fine together. Tattoos have nothing to do with the IQ of a person. I know a man that has tattoos and he is most definitely not stupid.

Anyway, I respect the fact that you dislike tattoos, and so do many people here, I'm sure. So you should respect the opinions of the people who do.

Hi Everyone,
I would first like to apologize to Alicia who I think is a lovely and intelligent young women. I never meant to say that you were anything but. No I don't like tattoos. And I do have a personal reason for it. That aside I am sorry if I hurt anyones feelings.
My mom was in concentration camp and she had a tattoo on her left arm, it started with the letter Z, and then a long number followed, it was put on there for identifcation. My mom became a number, not a person. Whenever we used to go somewhere people would ask her about it and she would have to say " well I got that in concentration camp" and then people whould start asking questions about her experience. This happened all the time and it was incredibly painful to her and anyone that loved her. A tattoo to me, means you become a non-human. Because that was what the tattoo meant to my family and many other families as well. It became a mark of shame. You are marked for life. So it is hard for me to imagine anyone wanting to mark themselves for life. Many older people don't like tattoos for that reason and it is not always something that should be shown. If for instance you work in a Dr's office, hospital, teacher to small children, a tattoo can and does make some people uncomfortable. Anyway I do apolize to Alicia and I hope that her tattoo brings her happiness and joy all her life.
