I want a tattoo but I'm scared of needles. Any suggestions on how I can have the best of both worlds??

I've heard tattoos hurt though. Are there any places on the body that hurt less than others?

@pearltwin66: Yes the outside of the upper arm (shoulder) is practically painless while the inside of the arm is excruciatingly painful. (have both done). Generally where the skin is thick the pain is minimal where the skin is thin or close to the bone it is more painful.

It does not hurt bad especially after child birth.

Haha so you're saying I should wait till I have kids to get one? Lol

No I was describing the feeling. It's an individual decision. I waiting until later in life.

Lol I know I'm just joking around

It's not bad at all and I have a big one on top of my foot. I talked the whole time.

I'd have to ask my older sister Jennifer's boyfriend named Trevor.

@pinkrainbowkisses: She meant her brain won't work while she gets a tattoo on herself. Although drinking is unhealthy!
@Breadroll: [c=#BF0080]And I said you can't drink anyway before getting a tattoo.[/c]

@Breadroll: *Sighs* ... Not reallyyyy. In total jest, I was simply implying that a drink would numb the pain and bring a little humor to the experience, due to how I am in a slightly inebriated state. 🙄

It doesn't feel anything like a needle. More like a bee sting.

Well I guess the next closest thing would be a very localized burning sensation.

Ah ok

@pearltwin66: Be glad you've never got stung by a bee, it hurts.

Temporary tattoos. Just dip in cold water and press.
