    Everyone who has ever had a tattoo PLEASE read

    Okay so my mom has given me permission to get a tattoo. But here's where you guys come in. How does it feel? Where's the least painful place to get it? Also I want it somewhere casual clothing will cover up, for future job hunting. Any pictures of your snake tattoos will be helpful. I want a ball python. Thanks in advance guys.

    it feels like a constant scratch with a sharp nail... rather like a cat using you as a scratching post, but only in one spot, over and over.

    my biggest concern with getting a tat and placement was, "ok, how's this going to look when i'm naked?" all the crazy ideas went out the window

    Yea the out line feels like someone is dragging a nail across a sunburn its not painful (depends on where you get it) but its not like getting kissed by kittens either..

    The good part is at some point the skin goes numb and you just feel the movement of the needle(s) and then you can just sit back and relax..

    I have 36 of them and my advice since you need your Mothers permission is to wait... Tattoos will always be around when you are ready, but if your tastes change (which they do) tattoos are forever. They cost more to remove and its allot more painful. Take your time and dont rush into it.

    also, I have never met anyone that has regretted waiting for a tattoo. I am 43 and a biker so I have met allot of people that regret some of the ones they have.

    Re: Everyone who has ever had a tattoo PLEASE read

    The amount of pain depends on where you get it. Places like the back of the neck and the wrist are the least painful places to get it, really just feels like someone is taking a sharp needle and scraping it across your skin.

    Where as someplace like the rip cage for example are going to hurt more. But all in all it really doesn't hurt very bad at all.

    I can't wait to get a tattoo of a Ball, I just don't know where to get it.

    This is a very good point, i am 28y/o and have 8 rather big tats. but the only one i have that i wish i could go back and would have not gottin is the one i got when i was 17y/o. Dont get a tat when your young because it might be the in thing to do. wait until you find sumthin you really want.

    My tattoo guy had the best description of it so far. It's like taking a ball point pen and drawing on a reallllllly bad sunburn. It doesn't hurt too bad at all and if you really want it you can suck it up and take the pain regardless of where you put it.

    Some great advice right here. Choose the artwork for your tattoo, if you still like it 6 months to a year later, get it. I have tats on my legs, feet and back all easily concealed if necessary.
