I always find the most painful part is when your ass starts to go numb

Same here, it's more a case of I just get used to the pain so it's easier to ignore for a bit.

I'm the same, keep ignoring............. until i pull a whitey

Worst thing is, feeling it constantly makes it harder not to tense up.
But tensing up makes it hurt more. Catch 22!

I actually quite like the feeling, (wouldn't even call it pain), of getting a tattoo. Already can't wait for my 8 hour sitting next week.

hdowney · 08-02-2012 11:47am

agreed. some bits hurt more than others for me, but generally i can stand it. with my skull and my foot though when the artist was a few hours in and starting with the white ink i was fit to die

Hail 2 Da Thief · 08-02-2012 9:26pm

Got work done today down the length of the breastbone. Ouchie!
Found it more uncomfortable than work I've had done around the spine & ribs!

i agree.i love the whole process of getting a tattoo.i love the feeling of the needle piercing the skin.i love the sound of the tattoo gun and the smell of the parlour.i got my ribs done and it touched a certain spot on me and it tickled the crap out of me.i do always freak out the artist by asking "is it wrong if i'm slightly aroused right now"..gets them every time

Cupcake_Crisis · 09-02-2012 2:37pm

The noise of the tattoo machine makes me really sleepy!!

Yeah I love how they don't hurt one bit.I'm dead hard!

Coeurdepirate · 15-02-2012 10:52pm

Anyone have any experience with rook piercings? I pierced my cartilage three times with little pain (i know it's stupid but i was 15 with 'professional' needles from ebay :rolleyes:) if that gives any indication to my pain threshold!

Yeah it was ok. I got kinda hot and sweaty and dizzy afterwards but that might have been because I either didn't eat before it, or I ate a burrito. It was one of them for that piercing :pac:

But sure like anything its over so fast. Healing was grand too. Just don't sleep on it for a few nights.

Rook for me was ok the first time but as with all body mods pain differs for each person. I got it done a second time in the same place after the first one closed up and thy hurt way more and bled for ages. That was about 4 years ago now so it's fine now. Don't think I'd get it done again if it closed!

I think the noise of the machines is the worst thing

Once the needle goes down it's okay, but those few seconds before it does is like an impending doom :P

I love the noise, i find it so soothing! A few of the guys in Snakebite have started using these weird stealth machines that are nearly silent... kinda freaks me out!!

i love the noise too

and really the pain doesn't bother me in the slightest, long tats start to hurt a lil toward the end of a sesh, but i am too happy in the yay tat knowledge to be over fazed by it

Might be rotary machines, as far as I can recall, the newer rotary machines are very quiet!

Mine was really sore to get done. My friend said I yelped

But I've a pretty low pain tolerance so you will probably be grand. The throbbing afterwards got me more. It felt like the entire right side of my head hurt. But as always, it looks damn fine now. Mine is only two weeks old but it's awesome looking and hasn't gotten mega irritated yet.

SingItOut · 21-02-2012 12:30pm

I got my lower wrist tattooed & while it wasn't horribly painful it did get uncomfortable near the bone (i'm skinny so there was no fat protection), like others have said It felt like a cat scratch. It stung every few minutes for about an hour afterwards, then it was fine, no pain at all. The most annoying thing was how itchy it got while the skin was healing over it & not being able to scratch it

I'm getting my upper arm tattooed just below the shoulder & stopping before my elbow, anyone tell me how painful/non painful that's going to be?

Outside of the arm is fine, i found the inner bicep quite a tender spot though!

Melion · 21-02-2012 6:09pm

Inner bicep is absolute ****ing agony from what i remember about it

Getting the outside arm done, thanks guys

Hi everyone, first time poster. This is quite bizarre but I want to get the letters CCR tattooed on my penis. Is this possible? Help would be much appreciated.

Atavan-Halen · 24-02-2012 11:35pm

Yes it's possible.

wongus69 · 25-02-2012 11:01pm

Thanks, any idea how painful it would be?

Hey I'm currently designing a tattoo for myself, that will go in the middle of my back, between my shoulder blades. It's a plain black emblem but the design is fairly intricate. I've already got a plain black design covering one of my calves and was wondering how the pain will compare?
Also, I sometimes get spot breakouts across my shoulders, is it a good idea to go ahead with the tattoo if I'm experiencing one on the day in question?

when i got my back done it was fine , some places more uncomfortable than others but other than that grand

LucyLouLou · 27-02-2012 7:40pm

Getting both my feet done on Thursday and just wondering if it's worth taking some painkillers before hand? It will be my 4th but I have visions of it being a lot worse than the others, I have my calf, shoulder and top of my spine done already. Or am I just being a big wuss and should I just take the pain?

I'v always popped a couple neurofen anyway. Feet are probably worse than all those places you've mentioned.

Hail 2 Da Thief · 27-02-2012 11:14pm

Don't painkillers thin your blood or is it just the ones that contain Aspirin?

Just Like Heaven · 27-02-2012 11:16pm

They probably do. I doubt it even makes a difference to the amount of pain you feel anyway. Well, i'v been told it helps on longer sessions. But it still feels pretty painful to me.

Aspirin based ones would, but anti-inflammatory ones like neurophen should take the edge off without thinning the blood.

Some people use a cream for tattoo's, DR Numb is the latest scam cream out there.
@LucyLouLou - how much of your feet you getting done?

Most of the top of both of them if that makes sense! I just have to wait and see what he says tomorrow as to how what I want will fit on there.

Hey guys,

I want to get my tongue pierced. My problem is I work full time in a call centre (so constant talking) I do have 16 days of holidays booked off in 2 days time, do you think that would that leave me enough time for the swelling to go down so I'd be able to go back to work?

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.

EwEw · 02-03-2012 6:00pm

I have a tattoo on my stomach - it goes over my ribs and the bottom of it touches my hip bone.
It was very painful when the needle was on my ribs/hip bone, but other than that, it felt more like scratching and was actually bearable. I have to say that the pain was really bad when the artist was doing the shading on my ribs, because I'm really skinny and it was basically going right on my bones.. Ouch ouch..

Totally. I got mine pierced over a year ago. The swelling was dreadful the first day and I had a hilarious lisp, both were gone the next evening. Lots of ice pops (no ice cream!)
