They actually don't hurt at all. But I have heard very painful for men.

I have birds, flowers, skulls on my sleeve. top is fill color and bottom fades down to inner arm full color and top of lower is blk and gray with highlights of color to make it pop.

Also upper arm is realistic and fades down to more artistist for birds and flowers.

Since I'm a guy, ouch.

That sounds awesome! I like the idea of the color transitions to accent details. Very smart and it sounds like it produced great results

The black and gray has kinda like an outline of green in the leaves, but not all the way around  just inside the actual outline that was added after the black to gray shading. The roses are the same but with red. So it kinda looks like those white roses with a ring of color at the top but no white in roses just black and gray. Basicly some color where you would usually highlight in white. You can't actually see the color unless you look close but from a distance you can tell it is not just black and gray. It kinds play tricks on the eye. In the sun it pops like highlights in a painting.

I have only one, back of my neck, Kenji Script, I got it one year ago on my birthday.  It's very discrete when I want to be, most of the time, my hair is up though. I love it. I'll likely get another

I have 4, all done 20 years ago or longer.. (first one when I was 15, my mom had a platinum cow when she saw it)

1.  Bulldog on my back, size of a silver dollar, with his tongue sticking out...

2.  Eagle on my right shoulder

3.  Thorn wrap, with my  name in old english below it on my left shoulder

4.  old school gang symbol on my right wrist.  (I am no longer in a gang, and wish I had never done this)

All of mine were done in a state where tattooing was illegal, so all had to be done "on the sly".

The old school method was to take a tape deck motor, connect a sharpened guitar string to it, run the sharpened guitar string through an ink pen casing, and everything was done "single needle" with said sharpened guitar string.  Who was talking about pain for a tat?

Either way... I have some ideas to get my eagle reworked, I really like it, but I want a full color rendition/rework

My wife has the coolest tat ever on her foot and ankle:

I only have one tattoo right now, which is a custom Native American skull on my left shoulder. I'm not an exhibitionist by any stretch, but I love showing off my tat. Especially to the foreign girls at my university who think it's the coolest thing ever. Their eyes light up in the cutest mix of fear and curiosity you ever did saw.

...ahem...

Anyway, I also had several piercings not too long ago. A CBR in both lobes (12 guage), and a couple of rods in my left brow. Unfortunately, I had to take them out when I began working in an office setting. The Man didn't take too kindly to them.

That sounds like a pretty awesome tat! I didn't care for CBRs when I had them in my industrial. But hey, to each their own.

I have five pawprints on my upper right leg/thigh. Not visible unless I'm wearing short shorts or a short skirt. Definitely wouldn't be seen in a professional environment but I'm a writer so I guess that doesn't matter so much. LOL I used to want to be a administrative assistant.

I also have two tattoos (writings) on my wrists. Right wrist is my son's initials and birthday and left wrist was a big mistake--no, not my ex's name but it basically signified us.

In short, I wish I had never gotten any of them. *sighs*

ETA: I got these when I was 20. I'm 25 now.

I have one on my right lower leg.  Had it about 5 years now.  It is also my last one.  Too painful.  Got it when I was 53 or there abouts and in the military.

My daughter is covered in tattoos, literally.  She has around 40.  One covers her entire back, one is a half sleeve on her right arm, left arm is all covered, one covers her upper chest, one by her left ear, one on her left side, one on each of her legs from around her thigh to her knees. Her hands also have tattoos on them.  Can't remember all of them she has so many but she has been getting tattooed since she was 16 and is now 26.  No regrets at all and has never been told she could not show them during work.

Her most recent one is on the side of her head.

Most of them are skulls and flowers.

That sounds awesome. It's nice when you don't have to hide them for work.

The older I get 36 now, the more I want. I got my full sleeve done and now planning to get a half sleeve on my lower left arm, probably skulls and flowers.
