    I wouldn't say it hurts. It's uncomfortable holding still for an extended period of time. It feels like something is scratching you extensively.

    Wow- very cool (and very painful looking). I like your design. It's very classy and pretty.



    I still lust after an IM tattoo, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. It's been 2 years since my IM, and I'm still on the fence.

    For me, some of it was pretty darn painful. Mostly the lower part of the flower as that area was sensitive. The outline hurt more than the coloring. For me, on a pain scale of 1-10, I would give it a 8.

    But that's just me. My friend got one done around her ankle and didn't flinch once. Nor did she say that it hurt.

    If it's a large tat that you want, the pain will be tolerable. It will end.

    TriGirl, if you are still on the fence after 2 years, it might not be for you... Which is cool. I already have another tat on my back, so it's not like something new for me. But I can't imagine why I could ever get another tattoo in my lifetime. I'm really picky about where I do and do not want one. I like being able to cover it easily.
