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!

Never had a tattoo - always worried I might change my mind when I was older and it was there for life....
