i agree with peaceit out - your skin will be a little sore, but only when you touch it or something rubs up against it. for me the worst part is having that stickty ointment under your clothes. you never really feel clean. =\ if you are THAT worried about the pain then i think you should wait until you feel ready. but when you do get one i think you will find that it isnt as bad as you expected!
So Im finally getting my tattoo done tomorrow. Im not really nervous about the pain anymore, Im just nervous about my parents. lol. Theyre gonna be so pissed. They even overheard me talking about it and were like, Ill be so mad if you get a tattoo. But like, its important to me. Ive been waiting and wanting one for years. and i didnt do anything for my 18th birthday and this is like my gift to myself. Im planning on just hiding it, but idk how long that will last. Im nervous... any advice on backing myself up and not like getting in trouble?
