Of course it hurts. Needles are jabbing ink into you for extended periods of time.

You don’t need the numbing cream, plenty of people get on with out it.
Pain tolerance is different from person to person, though, so what may hurt me might not hurt you, and visa versa.

Yeah, you certainly don’t want any irritation to the area you’ll be getting the tattoo.

What dose “really bricking it mean”?

You will do fine. Eat a good meal and enjoy the process. Be sure to some pics when you get a chance. Good luck.

Stop being a pussy. The only way to earn a tat is by suffering thru the pain.

Agreed. The pain is part of the mystique of tattoos. Lets face it, when youve made it through a painful piece, you always feel at least somewhat badass 😀
