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

Thanks again everyone!

WolfLady, it took about an hour once he got all set up. But the time passed very quickly because my friend was with me and the 3 of us just chatted the whole time he worked! I was chicken too, but I finally did it!

I have not had any children, but I kept thinking about this pain compared to that of childbirth.... and the end result! Childbirth pain you get a baby to love the rest of your life. Tattoo pain and you get a beautiful piece of artwork on your body to admire the rest of your life!

So those of you out there who have had children AND have a tattoo, let us know how the pain compares!

LOL

tatt vs child birth?

tatt = one bad stubbed toe
child birth=an 18 yr long excedrin day

kidding but there is no comparison, tatts dont really hurt all that much and truth be told even with natural childbirth, having my kids didn't either, at least not 10 minutes after I was done

Pfffftttt!! Alright, you got me spraying my evening tea on that one!

Good thing I wasn't eating too, I'd have sucked it down the wrong pipe laughing so hard!

Nice tatto! I don't have the guts, but my hubby has one from years ago he got in California - I wish he'd go "renew" the colors, it's really nice.

Congrats! Looks good! They are addicting. I have 5 and want another.

I got two tatts for my 40th. One, on my wrist, is a doggie paw print. The other, on my shoulder, is a rose with a dagger going through it with a snake wrapped around the dagger. There is blood dripping from the rose. It's pretty cool.

Tattoos are addictive, so be careful.

Wow, is that all? An excedrin day? You must have way better kids than I do. I would say it's more like an eighteen-year-long appendectomy without anesthetic combined with rusty nails shoved under all twenty finger and toe nails. Oh, and don't forget root canals on every tooth ... again, without anesthetic, of course. (Gee, ya think it's been a bad day?!)

Awesome tattoo! I love it!
