Getting a tattoo tonight! **UPDATE now with a pic!

[critter crazy]

Thanks everyone! My friend is going with me, and she is bringing her camera, so I will have pics!

Dr. Goodnow.... I had a HUGE party to celebrate my 40th! It was a "Princess" party, cuz some of my friends and family think that I am a diva and something of a princess! But I am not.... just like "my cats aren't spoiled!"

For my 42nd, I got my cartilige pierced on my left ear.

Now that I am thinking about it... what is it about me and pain and my birthday????

Hey I have gotten all my tats on my birthdays as well! he he he he! I guess we just love pain!

That's awesome!

How did you decide on your design?

I can't wait to see the pictures.

Really?! Wow! I have been wanting a tattoo sooo bad lately, I have my own design that I want done on the middle of my back, its a pretty sword..but I am too chicken to get it done because of the pain. I have my belly button peirced and thought that was going to hurt, when I got it done I couldn't believe it, cause it didn't hurt at all, but I know tattoos hurt much worse and take longer than a peircing, since you looked up so much information on this..do you have any advice that would help me finally make the decision to go instead of delaying because of fear of pain? I would love any advice, I want to get one done soon

Can't wait to see yours, you must take a picture when its all done and healed

You can have it done in multiple sessions. Maybe have the outline done the first pass and the color done in subsequent passes depending on the size and complexity of your design?

I would like to get another one soon, but I need to find an artist to draw it up for me.

I went for the whole thing at once! easier for me since after a few minutes of the outline the area went numb. I fell asleep during the coloring process

Me too! I got both of mine in 1 day, but the thought of pain doesn't scare me like it does Kalei.

hehe I think that is funny how you fell asleep lol. That is great, at least you were relaxed eh?

Yes, I am scared of the pain, but once I am there and the person starts doing it, things usually don't even hurt to me, probably because I went expecting so much pain that it doesn't hurt lol. I just have to get the guts up to go and do it.
