1-10...13. The initial pain nearly made me wanna pass out...
Tattoos don't hurt that much...they're jsut constant, while a piercing is sharp pain, but just once...or twice in my case, since the industrial needs 2 holes.
I have 3 holes in each ear, and now the barbell
...the pain is exactly what it looks like...like I had a thick needle stabbed through my skin...the barbell is gauged, so the needle had to be thicker than the barbell...or just about.
My friend thought it looked like my ear was impaled on a rod...that's exactly how it feels...the aftereffect of burning is the same as a tattoo, though...
While I don't think I'd recc the piercing, I WOULD recc tattoos. The pain isn't NEARLY as bad as you'd think, depending where you get it. Areas with less fat will of course hurt more, since there's little cushion...
the burning isn't painful...it's like when you hold a hairdryer on your skin for too long...it's just really hot...or more like when you come in from the cold and your hands burn from the cold...
oo really?? so where would it hurt the most?? i was planning on getting one, if i do when i'm older, one behind my right ear or near my right shoulder blade.
do you think those would be okay places to get a tattoo? and obv i don't want something huge. just something small but meaningful to me. not sure on what i want it to be yet but i really do want to get one.
