NO! That is not true at all! There's a needle and that's it Could you possibly be thinking of branding? That involves burning.

Eeek, nope no burning. But the needle doesn't feel like a needle. It's more of a painful buzz that numbs after a while. It goes into your skin about 7000 times a second.

hey,

i am not scared of needles,my life is about needles i get bloodwork done all the time to check levels on meds one of the joys of having epilepsy and early menopause.being born with epilepsy i'm used to needles now i just give them my arm and let them take blood.

I'm the opposite. I had surgery once and had to give blood before the procedure and I passed out and had a seizure. Ever since then, needles make me nervous.

I can take shots okay, they are quick, but I nearly throw up and/or pass out when I have to have IV's put in me or bloodwork done.

I think your friend has a pretty smile.

I love tattoos! I would love to go to the shows. I buy the magazines. I like them so well. I have 6 right now. I want more! It is body art. I think they are beautiful.

I Like piercings. Anything that makes you happy. I only have 7 piercings on each ear and a navel ring. I don't want any more than that.

ugh, i have delt with it lol, i am willing to go through all the pain again .

Actually that's one of the good things about piercings, is that they are removable. I've removed several piercings that I later decided I didn't want. Yes, it left a scar, but the scars are so tiny that they are hardly noticeable. It's just two little dots where the peircing was.

That is probably true, if you have one or two piercings ... just like with pierced ears. I was talking about the people that have like twenty piercings on their face. So, each one leaves two small scars ... that's forty scars on your face. That IS going to be noticeable.

That would look like a bad case of acne scars.

I have to hide my big ole' ears any way.


I think anyone should put a lot of thought in to either one of these things mentioned in here, before they do them.

I wanted a tattoo for 20years before i actually got one. the same with the belly button ring. I'm happy I got mine.

Do think long term on Tattoos.
