I want to get my areolas tattooed as five-pointed stars, perhaps in a shade darker brown than they are naturally. anybody had this done and how much does it hurt? is this much of a "thing"? These would also be my first tats. i pierced both my own nipples so I can't imagine it would hurt too much worse than that, which actually wasn't all *that* bad....or maybe because i'm biologically male, so i just have a higher threshold of pain than some? at least one person has told me getting their nipple piercings hurt "worse than giving birth", so......
