Getting my first tattoo in a week and I don't know what to expect pain wise. I'm pretty easy going with needles. Just want to know how ways to deal with the pain??? Thank you NS

the pain really isn't that bad, feels like a cat scratch to me. if you're getting it in a bony area then the vibration of the needle can be a little jarring, but its well worth it. the main thing that i have had issues with is the itching while it heals and fighting the urge to scratch

Tattoos don't hurt very much. Pulling the bandage off the next day was worse than the tattoo itself.

Cut your dick off so the pain will kind of equal out.

It's not that bad at all. I got mine done on a relatively bony part of my body and it didn't hurt so much as it just felt uncomfortable. Just remember to breathe though. I got into this weird panicked state and kinda held my breath without thinking about it and almost knocked myself out.

They aren't that painful, nothing more than getting stung by a bee or a wasp...

I just got my first one a week ago. Kinda hurts, nothing that bad. Just use your phone or something to distract yourself. "Electric cat scratch" is how some people describe it..

How long of a session do you plan on doing? If it's not too long just bear with it. If it's going to be a long one then maybe some booze.

It definitely doesn't feel good but it's not excruciating.
