 |

Hey guys! I'm getting my first tattoo ever on this coming Thursday! I'm getting my grandpa's enitials in the middle of some angel wings and I've decided to have it put on the inside of my right foot. I'm really nervous to get this done...what should I be expecting when I go in there?!  |

| its reallly not as big a deal a ppl make it out to be, as long as youve already checked out shop and artist, just go in and be open minded to the experience, youll most likely get hooked and get many many more. |

Don't be scared, it will be fine. If people couldn't take the pain they wouldn't keep going back. Just eat something a couple hours before hand and relax.  |

| Scratch a really bad sunburn two days after you get the sunburn. On average, thats what it feels like. They're not sawing your arm off, but theyre not tickling you either. Its not gonna kill you. Can you handle getting a shot? I mean, its not going to kill you, but it will hurt. I'e never like shead a tear while getting one, but I have bit on my thumb. Hows that. |

I actually think sunburn are much worse. Holy crap have you ever tried to sleep or shower with a really bad sunburn. It's horrible. The real pain of a tattoo is over when they aren't doing it and it's just sore afterwards. Sunburns are much worse, to me anyway. Just touching one can hurt like hell. |

Don't worry, just get your head in the right place and tell yourself you are going to do it. Once you are done you'll realize how easy it was

When you take the band-aid thingy off and you wash it and see it it's SO worth the pain  |

| The pain isn't too bad, don't be afraid to ask for a break, and if they let you, take a soda in with you, I started feeling shaky, and a friend said it helped her, so I took a break took a drink, and felt a bit calmer...you'll do fine! |

| So I finally got it done today! It hurt pretty bad when he was doing it, but he also said that it was on a sensitive spot so it was normal. I think it was worth it though. There were some moments when I thought I was going to have to ask him to stop but I just bit into my sweatshirt and focused on my breathing. If I ever get another one it will be someplace less painful...HAHA! |

| I didn't say anything before cause I didn't want you to back out but a couple of my friends with a lot of tattoos told me their feet hurt really bad. Now you can get one anywhere and it won't be as bad. Good job. |
