I'm getting my first tattoo in a few days at the bottom of my back and wondered how much they really hurt?

Question

Is there any way i can help myself relax or help distract me from the pain?

Answer 1

Just don't get it.  You will forever be laughed at.

Tramp stamppp.

Get it somewhere else.

Answer 2

The pain from the tattoo will never compare to the pain from kicking yourself for getting it. They don't call these tattoos ho-tags for nothing!

Answer 3

I thought it was going to be really painful when I got my first one but when I got in there this lady that was getting one done too started a conversation with me and by the time i knew it was over with, it distracted me from the pain.  

Answer 4

One good thing is women have better pain tolerance (tattoo wise) than men. First get a good nights sleep so you wont be fidigity, eat a big lunch 2-3 hours ahead so you won't be hungry, and take a friend to help keep you distracted. It feels like a mixture of someone pinching you once in awhile, like a cat scratching you for a long time, and it tickles. Good luck!

Answer 5

it really doesn't hurt that bad, just try to breath evenly, and it does help to listen to music or talk to someone, the tattooist or if you brought a friend.

it doesn't hurt that bad, and the pain is temporary but the tattoo is forever so if you want it enough it should be worth it.

Answer 6

Take your mp3 player and turn it up! That will distract you enough. Tattoos are more tolerable than a bee sting or a cat scratch. You'll do fine!

Answer 7

Ew don't get a freakin' tramp stamp. Those are so lame, no matter what they are.

Answer 8

When you get them where you're getting one, it really hurts in about 15 years when the skin sags and your tatoo droops down your crack...
