I had my first tattoo done when I was 28,I wanted to be cool and come to find out I didn't become cool...(lol)It's nothing big or ugly,just barbwire around my bicep.
Heide and I are both 39,we recently both had tattoos put on our backs.My tattoo is quite large,it takes up the majority of my back.It has sentimental value to me.It took about 12 hours to do.I went in every couple of weeks for 2-3 hr sessions.Heide's tattoo is a lot smaller and took at the most 2 hours.Heide's tattoo is also a sentimental piece. |
Doesn't Pam Anderson have one like that? I heard the inside of the arm hurts like a MoFo. Like down where us women have that bat wing look going on.

My shoulder blade hurt SO much. The middle near the spine, not so much, and the back of the arm was a piece of cake after the blades. I think the more fat and meat, the less it hurts. The more bony, the more it hurts. I think the foot is the worst. But come on, no where does it NOT hurt!
May I add, the few days before I got my first tat (the big one I have on across my upper back) I watched this documentary on Nat Geo or something about this tribe in Africa that worships the Crocodile (or maybe Alligator) and their boy's becoming men rite of passage included getting hundreds of cuts on their bodies and faces to scar up like the scales of a croc (or gator, whichever it was). That's all I could think of while my very heavy handed tattoo artist was working on me. Being cut up by sharp pieces of rock.
In fact, he was so heavy handed that the needle stopped vibrating at times.
