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

I did the right thing by setting you free
But the pain is very deep.
If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
I miss you
I hear you whimper in your sleep
I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.
Fur as dark as the night.
Join me on this flight.
Paws of love that follow me.
In my heart you'll forever be.

How I wish I could hold you near.
Turn back time to make it so.
Hug you close and never let go.

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.

hehe I think that is funny how you fell asleep lol. That is great, at least you were relaxed eh?Originally Posted by Dr.Goodnow
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.
I, too, would love to see pics. You won't be able to quit with just one. I got my first one when I was 31. I'm 42 now and have 3. Want to get another one. They're all where you can't see them unless I choose to show them, though. I think it's a great way to express yourself. I think you'll be happy. I knew I would because I had wanted tattoos since I was an older teen. It's good that you did research and thought about it a lot.

I hate pain! so I didn't get mine for years! Finally took the plunge worried a bunch and then realized he had already done a bunch and it DIDN"T hurt, pinched a bit, but not pain. After that it was smooth sailing!Originally Posted by Kalei

Cool idea! Be sure and post pics.
The outline hurts WAY worse than the fill. Which is good, I suppose, since you get the worst over with first. I've done it five times, and I'm a total baby about pain. It hurts, to be sure, but it's tolerable.
Here are my sun/moon tattoos. BAD pics, but cool tattoos.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

I can't lie, it was painful at first, especially the lines. The coloring wasn't bad at all. But I just kept thinking about the end result! My friend went with me, and she, I and the tattoo artist talked about travels, politics, his daughter, and about his experiences as a tattoo artist! This guy was awesome!
He made a drawing from 3 different pics that I took in, and he got it dead on with what I wanted. We just really had to discuss colors, and that was it.
I was nervous as I waited, and I realized that I was pacing! Once we got in the room, I realized that my hands were practically wringing wet! But once he started, I was better and soon relaxed.
We got some pictures, but they are on my friends camera and once she gets them downloaded, I will post on here. Hopefully that can happen yet today.
