I hang out (kinda work) at a tattoo shop here in South FL. I see all types of people getting tattooed all the time. But I cant stand certin “customers”.
There are the girls who act all goth or scene or alt or what ever you want to call it who say they love pain. One came into the shop the other day she was getting her first tattoo and she kept saying how much she loved pain. She was getting some generic tribal on her lower back. She said she drew it her self I dont know if she did or not. But anyway she didnt even get through the outline before she was tearing up and jumping ,holding her breath and asking for a break every five minutes. When she was finally done she got on the phone (I thin with her BF) to say that she got her “Inks” done yes her “Inks”. She told him how it didnt hurt at all and that she enjoyed it.
When I had my 3rd but biggest/most detailed tat on Monday I was in the chair for 3 1/2 hours and, at first it was fine and I was quite comfortable, but after an hour or two things got unbarley painful (my tattoo is on the inside of my bicep, so v sensitive area) and I did struggle alot.
Ive always dealt with pain okay, having had some major surgery as a youngster and have several facial piercings (septum was the worst) but I must admit, I was clinging to my boyfriends hand and my eyes did water!
I personally think, if your in pain and you make a massive fuss out of it, it psychologically makes you think its worse then it is.
The pain that I get from my new tat now and when I had it done, I did say I’d never get another tat….
Time will tell!

At least you didnt say how much you love pain right before.
