I have two tattoos. My first one is a floral pattern on my side. It's pretty big and I hope to have it eventually covered up or added to customize it since the design was picked off a website. I do love the colors though.

My second one means a lot to me. It is a dove and it represents a new stage in my life in which I felt free and at peace. I plan on getting on getting more including Stanley's pawprint =).

As for the pain, it really depends on your pain threshold. Women have a higher pain threshold than men so we actually handle it better than they do. To me, the feeling of getting a tattoo is so addicting and I enjoy it. Some people use a topical numbing spray when they get their tattoos, but I think the whole point is to endure the pain and love the results. It is very different from getting a piercing. It will hurt at first but eventually you will feel numb to it.
