It depends where you have it done and whether you have just outline or add colour or shading. I have four - it's a strange thing - they are addictive! One word of advice - get it done at one go as the body releases endorphins which are a natural painkiller which resembles opiates in the way they produce analgesia. A second visit means you have to wait for them to 'kick in' again! Good luck! |

I will stick to my transfers, if you will excuse the pun. No pain and if I change my mind, they wash off! And I can vary them according to mood. |

Can I be really boring and ask: why do people have tattoos? Sylvxx |

Good question, Sylv ! I think tattoos are really awful. |

I know people have free will to do with their bodies as they wish; but I don't like them. At least with ear-rings, clothes, make-up etc. you can change them whenever, but a tattoo is there for a long long time. Sylvxx |

I can see how one really good impressive tattoo could be called artistic/decorative; but I'm afraid when people go on to have more and more, all over, I call it a form of self-abuse perhaps for people with low self-esteem? Sylvxx |

I have one on my ankle and I can honestly say it did not hurt at all and not because I was feeling no pain when I went in lol. The worst thing for me was the vibration. Sheila |
