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.
