I wasn't nervous when I went in there I thought I would handle it ok until... the guy doing the tatoo said to me "wow for a chick you must have balls getting your first tattoo there. I asked why is it going to hurt? He said, "well I won't lie to you your going to feel it".
He told me to relax to just try and relax, try to control my breathing and just listen to him. I had a strawberry put on the side of my lower belly. It didn't feel like prickly really. It felt a little like slowly being cut with an exacto knife. When ever it would just start to get painful he some how knew and would stop what he was doing and rest for just a second. Funny the hard part is when he would wipe the area with a cotton ball. It really tickled and was hard for me to not move or rub the tickle away. Once the outline is done the rest is almost numb you can't really feel it. For days later there is still a great sensation tho.
The most difficult thing is to NOT pick at the scab. O man that was hard! So each time I felt a need to pick I would put moisturizer on it. You're suppose keep putting moisturizer on so that helped me.
I really want to get one on the side of my neck. I just think that would feel soo good. Maybe I'll grow my hair first before I do that tho.
You might like getting one on your ankle. I had a great guy to do mine I think that is probably important.
