I'm getting a tattoo in two days on the back of my shoulder. Is it going to hurt really bad?

I'm getting something fairly small on my shoulder. This is basically my first tattoo, so how bad is it going to hurt?

Answer
Hey, I just got my first tat on my shoulder and I hate pain and needles and this is my honest answer, it felt like NOTHING, hurt less than my ear getting pierced. The first line she did I honestly said "that's it?" I cannot believe this is just me because a butterfly needle makes me faint. Tattoos are beautiful, and for me, due to the symbol I got, it was a great spiritual comfort. Do what YOU want it is your beautiful body. Seriously, it did not hurt me at all, I cannot stress this enough. Another girl getting her first tat in the same parlor said the exact same thing. You will love it, it is art that is yours alone for life!

How can I convince my g/f to accept new friend with tattoo's?

So much is happening here in India. Esperanza and I are finally starting to relax now that we've identified the place where we want to get Ryan his tat. Thanks for the suggestions, everybody! We still have to book the appointment.

Anyway, remember that âbackpackerâ we saw getting tattooed at Baby Tiger Tattoo in Randi Market? We ended up seeing her in a âdhabaâ (like a diner) with her boyfriend....and their little one! It turns out they are Israeli. So we chatted with them and about their tattoo experience. Aleah (the backpacker) has a whole bunch of tattooâs. She has:
- a white tiger on her left ankleâ¨
- two tigers with Chinese symbolâs for best friends in between on left shoulderâ¨
- memorial for her dead ferret on right ankleâ¨
- a dragonfly on right shoulder
- a dragonfly on wrist â that was the one we saw her getting!

She told us the story behind each one, and we were very touched. So meaningful! All I can say is that we are VERY anxious (in a good way)!

Their daughter, Netanya, is around 7 monthâs, so she and Ryan got along well. Aleah and Namir (bf) invited us to go hiking with them in Dharamsala â that is up in the mountainâs where the Dalai Lama lives!!!

We really want to go, but there is one small problem. As you know, Esperanza thinks women with tattooâs are sort of trashy.....I know, I know....she canât help it though, itâs her cultural upbringing. I think itâs ironic because Aleah and Namir are Israeli and they are not âsupposedâ to get tattooâs either...Ranza doesnât get the irony.

Help! What can I do to convince her otherwise??? I REALLY want to go to Dharamsala (and I know she would enjoy it, too)....

I have been following this saga from the beginning, From the dragonfly picture that I saw from the "Baby Tiger" artist, she is an amazing artist and I am sure that this backpacker's other ink is amazing as well! I really can't wait to see a picture of the ferret tattoo if you can get one because I lost my pet rat a while ago, and I have been looking for a memorial tattoo design on the internet and haven't been able to find one! I think with a picture of the memorial tattoo for the back packer's ferret in hand, I might be able to go to my artist and get my tattoo started! I mean without an exact picture of what you want, how can you expect your artist to get the tattoo right?!?
But I digress...
Anyway, if Esperanza has seen the amazing art that on this woman, and she still thinks that tattoos on women are trashy, then there is no changing her mind! I mean, it is pretty much the same as someone seeing Jesus perform a miracle live, right in front of them, and them still not believing! At this point there may be no hope. However, before your friends start off on their journey, can you please get the ferret pic and email it to me? my address is tribal_and_butterflies_ and_rats_4 ever @ tat.com (take out the spaces).
Thanks and good luck with Ranza!
