first: my tattoo, a ying yang on my wrist didn't hurt nearly as much as i thought it would, i mean it only hurts a little when the needles working, once they pull the needle away, no more pain...

second: i wanted a tattoo on my hip area also but i was discouraged because the artist said if i were to have children it would stretch, not what i wanted...

so if i were you i would choose a body part that will look the least "ugly" with a tattoo when your old wrinkly and stretched out haha

good luck!

Tattoos hurt.

Yes, it's going to hurt, but placement has a lot to do with the pain factor. I have 5 tattoos, going up and down my spine, and honestly those hurt the most. One answer I read summed it up best: you'll sweat and you'll feel slightly nauseous at first, but after a while, it's like you either get comfortable or you get used to it. And it's VERY addictive. I've gotten to where I enjoy the pain almost as much as I love my new artistic addition.

Color or not you will feel some pain. It depends on how think your skin is...like if you have soft skin it will be easy for the needle to go throught your skin. If you have think rough skin it will hurt more because the artist will have to use a little bit more of a push to get it to stay. The best way I can describe it is if you take a pen a rub on your skin for a long time...I got my first at around 17 and I didn't really hurt as much as I thought

All tatts hurt but the smaller the less time it takes so it goes by faster i have a three small stars on my lower back and they took 7 minutes it hurt but it was over fast enough and i listened to my ipod had some advil and everything was great and i love it! its well worth it if you really want it

some say that they don't hurt....others say they do. I think it depends on the location and your pain threshold. Tattos are not painless. There is discomfort. Some can handle it, others can't. That is something you will have to do to know.

I am 17 too and I've got 2 tattoos on my body. One is on my lower back (I can say it is actually on my heap), which I got in Thailand and another one which I got in Canada is a Native Feather, and, well, that is on my back by the way. It can be differently depends on the individual. My first one which I got in Thailand hurt REALLY REALLY bad, cuz it was on my hip which the skin there is really sensitive, plus the bones are direct underneath the skin, Therefore, when the guy was tattooing and I was almost dead. I could feel my bones are vibrating when the artist worked on it. But my Native Feather one didn't hurt that bad. Just remember to ask the tattoo artist to put some freezing on the place where you want to get a tattoo done before they actually start, that will make situation better and you might feel less painful.

BTW, if you really want to have a tattoo, get something that is meaningful to you. DON'T just randomly pick up something that you think that only look nice. Because tattoo is a permanent body art, it will be much more painful if you want to remove it in the future. Think twice before you take an action.

Yes, they hurt - it's usually bearable if you're prepared, but there is some pain.

In most places in the US you can't get a tattoo at 17 without parental permission.

take a safety pin, press down on your skin real hard and drag that pin over and over the same area for about 30 minutes. thats what its going to feel like. it is a burning sensation, you will sweat really bad and probably get an upset stomach.......aaah! what a feeling 18 tattoos later.

probably just a little.. if you can handle piercings, this should be okay

yes, you will probably think it hurts.

mainly on your hip/stomach....when a bone is tattooed it tends to hurt.

i got a chest peice as my first tat...but personally i didnt think it hurt

You are only 17!! Why would you want to deface your body with that. Wait until you are a little older and then decide if you want this picture on your body for forever. Oh, and please never have anyone's name tattooed on you unless it is your child or Mom's name. Sometimes relationships don't last forever. Better safe than sorry.

Just think about it.....this is a forever committment.
