Oh my goodness! You DID IT?!?!? How painful was it?

At first it started out okay. I turned my head away as he was doing it. My daughter held my hand as I silently mouth a few choice obscenities when it started to hurt. Thankfully he had to stop every now and again to wipe dripping ink. For the most part it was okay but I don't know why some parts were more sensitive than others.

A classmate of my daughter's from school wanted to come along and see it being done. Unfortunately she told me beforehand that red ink has to be put in deeper and hurts more. I don't really know if that is true or not. It just seemed to hurt at times whether it was black or red ink.

The upside is it took only 10 minutes. If you're thinking of doing it go ahead it isn't that bad. I don't even know it's there. It's at a peeling stage right now. The aftercare was simple too.

When it completely heals maybe we'll post a picture.

At least it was dripping ink and not blood!

My Harley is more lady-like than say, a Fat Boy. It's sleek and low. It's a sunflower yellow with very fine pinstriping in a deep purple. And of course, a ton of chrome. You do know that HD doesn't really stand for Harley Davidson. It stands for hundred dollars, which you end up spending when you start adding chrome and bling.

OOOOOOOOOO What beautiful colors Dianne. How about posting a picture of her right here?

The blood was dripping as well, but not too much.

My good friend called me today and we had a long chat. At the end I said, "I got a tattoo."

There was silence on the other end for awhile and I thought, uh-oh.

She said, "I've wanted to get one for a long time too and am going to on my 50th birthday in March."

I told her I'd go with her. She's a married lady with four children and has been an RN for more than 25 years.

Ladybug,
Belated congrats on your ladybug tatoo...You made up your mind and you did it...that is so awesome!!! I'm glad the whole thing only took 10 minutes...I'll bet your daughter will never forget that you shared the experience with her...Way to go !!!!

Thanks AvalonBlondi! I'm still wondering if Mrs_Madness is considering her navel ring?

Have any of you seen the Absolutely Fabulous show where she gets a navel ring? It's just so funny. She's overweight and has to move the flab so you can see her new navel ring and it's bloody and just...gross.

I'm too chicken to get a tatto. I have trouble with shots!

Dianne, I think that's a sight I'd rather not behold.
