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

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.

I love it! It's unique, too. That is cool about your friend.

Good Luck!

As for the pain, I didn't think it was too bad. The outline was more painful than the coloring in of it.
Just remember to breathe, I was so nervous with my first tattoo I held my breath without even knowing that I was holding it. I got light headed and and the tattoo artist had to remind me to breathe. After that I just focused on my breathing and I was fine.

With my second tattoo I took a bottle of water with me for comfort, that helped me through the outlining (I was fine with the coloring in of it). They also had the TV on when I had my second one done so I just watched TV and "forgot" about the tattoo.
