    I have one just above my ankle bone and it was fine.... I didn't find it especially sore, although i think i may have a fairly high pain threshold when it comes to tattoos anyway :)

    Tender enough area, still not too bad though. There ain't much there only bone on me and still wasnt that bad. I did actually fall asleep before during 1 session on my leg.

    Assuming you get it done somewhere with a good, reputable piercer shortly after you get your break, you should be grand by the time you get back to work! Just make sure to stick to their aftercare instructions to the letter to ensure a problem-free recovery! :)

    Just to add, you mentioned holidays, if you're flying somewhere it might not be a good idea to get pierced, as planes can cause irritation to some piercings, not to mention planes being like a petri dish for germs.

    Thank a mill :) I'm not flying anywhere just taking a couple of weeks off to spend some time at home so hopefully it'll all be fine!

    If you've a high pain threshold you'll definitely be grand...got mine done 3 weeks ago and i found it ok and I don't have a high pain tolerance...the closer to the bone the worse it gets obviously...but still ok

    How did the tattoos above the ankle go?

    I'm thinking of getting one done there, to the side of my leg if that makes sense? Or else on my calf, it will be a silhouette so have to see where it looks better.

    I got one done on my shoulder blade and it was fine, just pinched a bit now and again. The other one on my left lower back began to hurt after about an hour. Bleed a good bit, especially after the shoulder blade one, but nothing my stocks of Lucozade couldn't handle.

    I have one on the right of my lower back...kinda like at my hip...I found it bled much more than my ankle which barely bled at all!!

    The one on my ankle is just over the nub of the bone on the inside of my right leg...if that makes sense...it really isn't bad pain or blood wise although I found it took a slight bit longer to fully heel than my one on my hip but that might just have been me...it was still perfect and completely heeled 3 weeks later

    The tendon behind the knee hurt like hell, I think that has been my worst spot.

    My worst tattoo would definitely be my skull and roses, there was a lot of swelling and when i had to stand up the rush of blood to my foot and shin was pretty painful. Second most painful was my cupcake, luckily i have no more feet to tattoo :p

    I've always had it quite lucky with piercings, i haven't found any too painful, aftercare on my tongue was just really annoying! Nips are currently healing up a treat!

    I think my worst was either the right side of my chest or my thigh. Inner bicep wasn't nice either.

    For some reason I can't remember how each one felt though, apart from my thigh which is burning right now after being finished today.

    Before the back of my knee that was the worst spot for me too.

    It's grand. Lot of the back would be because of the way the nerve endings are clustered instead of spread out. But every so often it hits one of those clustered points and makes ya grit your teeth, but that's about it.

    You can feel the entrance and exits points of the needle,and that's just a pressure really, but you barely feel a thing other than that. One of my easiest piercings to get done and to heal.

    I got mine done in Snakebite about 2 years ago and have never had a problem with it, and it's lasted the longest out of anyone I know who has had it done.

    I just got mine done on Thursday. It was absolutely fine, there's a little bit of a feeling like pressure as the needle goes through, but it's not painful, just unpleasant for all of two seconds.

    +1 for Snakebite and Steve who did mine :D

    You can walk in :) I don't know about Wildcat's prices, I was turned off going to them years ago. It's €75 in Snakebite, with a 10% discount if you're a student.

    I paid €60 for mine 2 years ago,and they've adjusted their prices recenty. You can walk in most places but if theirs a few people there might be a few minutes wait.

    I'm a right girl and I found it fine :D Honestly, the odd bit of discomfort but I found it a nice spot to get done. No problems with it - except trying to clean it when on my own ha ha

    I got it done of a Saturday, so I had people around on the Saturday evening and Sunday to clean it properly, and then after that it was one of those plastic spatulas with a cloth (no fibers) held to it with a rubber band to try and clean it carefully - tattoo is fine so I didn't do it any harm :o

    Will I put ice on it first just to numb it or will i just shove the stud straight in?

    No you should be fine after a few weeks (i think) You will be told instore when to change and what to do. But it should slip through. Just wipe the lobes with some alcohol before changing.

    I know that this thread isn't a question as such, but I'd still like to give my two cents. my first piercing was my earlobes at 8 years old, done with a gun. It hurt a bit, but I was only 8. Did my second and third lobe piercings with a safety pin at 15. It didn't hurt at all. I stretched my first set of lobe piercings, one to 8mm one to 14mm. This hurt quite a bit, as I did it way too quickly. The one i stretched to 14mm "exploded" (it ripped in three different places exposing my cartilage. yes, that hurt A LOT!) I got my septum pierced a few months ago, and it was painless. A lot of people say this is extremely painful, but I found both the piercing and the healing to be very easy. Shortly after, I got my tongue web pierced. The piercing process was painless, however the first few days after that it was quite painful and I couldn't eat at all. I had my nipple pierced this summer, and that was a pretty painful piercing, and the healing was awful (avoid loose clothing! Tight clothes and push up bra's ftw!) The last piercing I got was my conch and I thought it was the most painful! It was my first cartilage piercing and it was sore for almost a month! I love all of them, and they were all worth it!

    Btw, I'm going in to get dermal anchors on my chest on Thursday! Anything you guys feel I should know before I go in?

    I have an personal experience of ear piercing and it hurts a little,pain is just same as an ant bites on your hand.

    I really want a tattoo but I'm such a chicken when it comes to needles. Can't stand getting simple vaccine injections or getting blood taken without freaking out so I'd imagine I wouldn't be able for a tat :( So annoying because I can take other types of pain, having done kickboxing and boxing in the past.

    If only tattoos could be punched onto ya :pac:

    Yup, it's like a cat scratch. If it's a bigger piece, it'll feel like a cat scratch on a sunburn after a while :)
    But it is manageable pain, don't be worried.

    Yea...I wouldn't be a big fan myself...but not nearly as bad as you seem to be...I can usually overcome it if I just make sure not to look at the needle while it's near me...In the middle of my ankle tattoo I made the mistake of looking down pain increased 10 fold...all psychological I know...still odd though

    i am a weirdo. i hate needles. like giving blood or getting injections (and i am on b12 injections for life - so fun:rolleyes:) give me the heebies, my veins run away at the sight of a needle!!!

    BUT, getting tatted and pierced doesn't bother me in the slightest, i actually relish it!!!

    WEIRDO IS ME!!! :cool::pac::cool:

    I'm the exact same. I'm cannot stand injections, and I can freak out just at the thought of getting one. I don't like the shape of the needle, the idea of it going into my skin or the pain. For this reason I put off getting a tattoo for awhile.

    Next week Im getting my 7th tattoo :p

    Honestly the pain is so different, and the gun really helps make the needle look so different. My tip is to just keep your eyes away when the needle is being out into the gun and you'll be fine!

    It'll be like being scratched with a piece of broken plastic, repeatedly over the same spots. That should be ok, but may make you wince a bit when it goes over the spine itself.
