    First ink done yesterday :)
    Well my gf has been wanting to get matching tattoos for awhile now, so we set an appointment for yesterday and let me tell you it sure was an experience. For starters those already jumping the gun freaking out about a matching tattoo, it's not like each others names or something, we picked something so that if we broke up it wouldn't be tied to the other person even though we don't plan on that happening, but it does happen. Second for those who say tattoos don't hurt, your a liar. I have one of the highest pain thresholds of anyone I know and I was wincing through the whole think most, it took 2 hours to finish the outline which is all money allowed right now, and Angela's only took 15 minutes haha.

    Without anything further her is my fresh ink :D

    And her is Angela's :)

    I dig it. If you thought the outline hurts just wait until you get 8+ hours of getting that colored in. :P

    In not looking forward to the color, and to think I was originally going to get my ribs as my first tattoo. I love it though, he left it open on the bottom for my koi side piece in the future.

    Yea out of all my tattoos my ribs hurt the worst with my chest coming in at 2nd place lol. They aren't that bad though...definitely tolerable.

    Well the middle was tolerable, but whenever he went close to or over bone I was in some serious pain. The worst was over my sternum, each line felt like forever. I'm so glad I got it done though and stuck it out. I've wanted a tattoo since I was 18, I'm now 20 will be 21 in January so it felt like the right time. Plus someone was there with me supporting me through the whole thing.

    As I was getting it done my gf said to the tattoo artist, "you know he keeps cringing on the outside, but I know for a fact he's going to want the rest of his body done" haha which is so true, it did hurt, but it's not going to stop be from decorating every clothed inch of my body, since I'm going to school for nursing I want to keep them hidden.

    Congrats man! My first tattoo was "Sacrifice" over my stomach. Which for me was probably the worst tattoo that I have, especially when they started on the left side of my stomach. Now I have 25+ tattoos and I want more, its an addiction for sure. Yours looks awesome! After your done getting it colored which is going to be an experience lol make sure you post pics of the finished product so that we can see.

    I remember when you were talking about getting the huge one on your ribs before. I dont wanna be "that guy" but i def told you so lol! Now you know what i meant. I wasnt trying to doubt your pain tolerance but it can hurt it certain spots haha.

    Anyways now you know what it feels like and will be prepared for your next one. Congrats and as others said, welcome to a new addiction! :D

    Thanks everyone. I really can't stop looking at it and thinking "this is on for life" and it's an awesome feeling. I'd like to have my rib piece next, but we will see how it goes. I really want to "pant leg"? Haha not sure what to call it, the equivalent to a full sleeve but on your leg. My tattoo artist has one of a Japanese girl in traditional apparel with umbrella and everything then on the other leg he has the same girl dressed up as the statue of liberty but like trashy looking to show what America is like to other cultures. It's awesome. I'd really like a traditional Japanese woman tattooed on one of my legs.
