Brighton till i die said:Its feels a bit uncomfortable but its bearable.
as said before it depends where you have it.
i've got 7 and the most painful places were my chest, upper back, and the inner part of my arm (had a celtic band and didnt wanna look a poof so had it all the way round - ouchy!!)
and f*** me - they are SOOOOooooooooo addictive!
Spot on you will never have just one i promise you

...but that's just me. I don't think it'll be as bad as I think reading these replies.

I know this is probably a stupid question, but
why have a tattoo in the first place?

Why not ?
FYI the two under my forearms bled a bit but they were hardly gushing. They didn't hurt either.

Tis very true, I only have 3, one on each arm and a Taz wearing a Brighton shirt on my calf. To be honest it stings a bit at first but then your natural enorphins kick, usually half way through the outline, and then it becomes more like a sensation. Not only that but the tattooist will probably talk to you whilst doing it, and have some music on to keep your mind off it. The place, that was worst for me was the one on my right arm, when he was going over the shoulder. Also don't worry about about the sight of needles, as you can't really see them, it looks more like an airbrush that modellers use. Hope that helps.
Definitely depends where you get them, I've got six and the most painful was when i had one done that went up to the inside of my elbow joint but they aren't that bad, once the outline is done, which you feel more than the colouring, it's plain sailing... And like Brighton till i die says, they become addictive.

Yes, it hurts. But it's a nice pain, gets the adrenalin / endorphines flowing. I came out wanting another one done straightaway

You havin' a bubble?
as a tip - take a can/bottle of coke with you.
keep ya sugar level up mate while getting it done - hsould stop you from fainting and locoking a nob jockey infront of a big tattoo dude.
places i'd recommend are:
Red Dragon - Horsham
Blue Dragon - Brighton

I got my Albion crest done there about eight years ago. Am pleased with it, even though the circle's not exactly round and he didn't cross the A on Albion, so it looks like an 'n'. My main problem was that there was this kid running around the whole time, and it nearly tripped over the cable!
Still, made it a little more exciting
Had first one done last year on my lower back. Once the outline was done it was fine. I'm not good with pain but was able to bear it.
Had it it done at tattooing at gunpoint in hove, They were very good the guy who done it was called wurzel.

sugar level's not a problem as i'm diabetic anyway, on 7 injections a day! I still can't stand needles though!

Crikey Exmouth! Seven?
I've got diabetes, too, but am on four a day - how come you're on seven?
