Ok first if you want to get a tattoo first ask yourself this am I prepared to have this design on my body when Im 20 30 40 50 60 70. Does it hurt some ask no not really not much more then a blood test look at an electric tooth brush its very similar except with a needle with a cord and its metal also you get 6 weeks of itching scarring and you cant touch it or get it wet so I recommend getting it during the winter cause if you pick it or get any water on it the tattoo can fade or look like shit also you should check out the person who is doing it ask about the needles if theyre stabilized or fresh out of the package ask how many year the person has been doing the tattoos for so its a bit to consider so I recommend taking your time theres no hurry at all also when getting it done relax if you tense up it will hurt more
