Re: How do you react when getting a tattoo?
 

I have 7 and the only one that i felt some real pain with was the one on the edge of my pelvic bone...actually made my eyes water!
The others are on my arms, chest and back. Getting a tattoo gives me a an odd sort of high. I can not explain it but love the feel of the needle piercing the skin and the burning? sensation for want of a better word. The one on my chest i did not feel at all in anyway and no i was not drinkin at the time :)

I sit and watch a film:)

I have found that depending where you have it on your body, depends how much it will hurt.
My arms, chest, back and shoulders were fine but my ribs hurt a bit under my arm and in my armpit hurt lots.

Both of mine are on my upper arms and after the initial wince as the needle first made contact, I found myself watching intently. I thought it was fascinating.

When Pete had his tattoo his daughter apparently had to ask the tattooist to stop for a while as she thought he was going to pass out! :D

I swore a bit when I had mine. Same for my two piercings! :D

Reactions will always vary depending on the size of tattoo, the ink being used, and the placement on the body.

Most tattoo places charge additional for the tummy being done due to the amount of nerves there, it can be tricky to do.

See that explains a lot. Everyone told me that the fleshier the area, the less it hurt but my other two, back(over the spine) and wrist didn't hurt that much at all.

Yup normally over bone you will feel a little discomfort and a lot of people will tell you that they feel pain in another place in their body, for example over the shoulder blade it is typical to feel it in your elbow.

It isnt just this though there are factors of peoples own pain thresholds.

I have seen many blokes go white, pass out or throw up having their nipples peirced. It isnt because of their pain threshold being lower it is because they go into the parlour and big themselves up, fill themselves up with adrenaline and then make it worse for themselves. Women tend to go in and talk about how they are scared of the pain and talk about it a bit more hence not such a big deal when it happens.

Ha ha, I didn't pass out but did go very white and sweaty :rolleyes:

and it was probably the most painful thing ever in my life!
