Teh Pain is not worse than childbirth, Sara... if that helps. (I judge everything by that now... "well, it hurts less than having a baby...")

luna - okay, but how MUCH less...???
― Sara R-C, Friday, 7 September 2007 16:53 (sixteen years ago) link
have a tattoo, mildly amused by it, mostly dont like tattoos, dont care if others get them
― jhøshea, Friday, 7 September 2007 16:53 (sixteen years ago) link
I think that's a very good measure Luna. (not that I've experienced it but I'm sure it's useful if you have.)
I kind of enjoy the pain. For one it cements the connection you have to the tattoo and what it represents in your life. Only my first tattoo was a random "oh that's pretty" one. The other seven are permanent reminders of events/things/people that are very important to me. The pain of getting it etches in this importance and makes it almost spiritual.
Sorry for getting almost "body art" on you there.
― Ms Misery, Friday, 7 September 2007 16:54 (sixteen years ago) link
Lots less, Sara. For me it was kind of like an extended cat scratch (and it also depends on where you get it.) It hurts, yeah, but not as much as the needle for the epidural did (I don't know if you had one, but that, for me, was the defining moment of pain in my life.) Also hurts less than breaking your arm.
― luna, Friday, 7 September 2007 16:56 (sixteen years ago) link
I have one and I like it but I would never call it "body art"

Ok, please explain - what *is* a tramp stamp?
― Masonic Boom, Friday, 7 September 2007 16:57 (sixteen years ago) link
LOL
Actually I find the needle is not really the most hurty part. It's when they wipe the blood off with a towel. Your skin is raw and bleeding and it's like they're scraping you with sandpaper. *That* sucks.
― Ms Misery, Friday, 7 September 2007 16:58 (sixteen years ago) link
tramp stamp also = cum catcher
kind of like an extended cat scratch
That's exactly what my sister said!
For me contractions were way more painful than the needle for the epidural. I think they gave me something to try to numb that needle, though and it still hurt - just less than contractions. Breaking my arm didn't bother me at all! (Also, I think I have easy labors.)
Sam, thanks for the explanation. Not too "body art." ;)
― Sara R-C, Friday, 7 September 2007 16:58 (sixteen years ago) link
Tramp stamp is a common way of referring to the lower back tattoo, Kate.
― luna, Friday, 7 September 2007 16:58 (sixteen years ago) link
Yes, the contractions sucked ass, you're right. It's less painful than that.
― luna, Friday, 7 September 2007 16:59 (sixteen years ago) link
I know a boy who has one of those! Does that mean he's a tramp? excellent!
― Masonic Boom, Friday, 7 September 2007 16:59 (sixteen years ago) link
Your skin is raw and bleeding and it's like they're scraping you with sandpaper.
Okay, I'm too wimpy for sure!
― Sara R-C, Friday, 7 September 2007 16:59 (sixteen years ago) link
That part has never bothered me (never felt it, never thought to notice it).
― luna, Friday, 7 September 2007 17:03 (sixteen years ago) link
The pain ranges from pressing a fingernail into a sore mosquito bite to something a lot more "thrilling", as my dentist calls it. Depends on where on the body and the artist. My first one was small and I had expected it to be *much* more painful than it ended up. You can get a good adrenaline rush from it, which helps bring you into the moment.
When I see good work on someone I'll ask where they got it done. I adore my tattoos and am currently planning to get another one. I'd only advocate someone getting a tattoo if they want one but are a little scared of it (mostly from not knowing about the process).
xpost: whee! I'm officially a tramp!
― patita, Friday, 7 September 2007 17:04 (sixteen years ago) link
I think what it boils down to is not so much the pain or anything else you'll scare yourself with - it's all down to whether or not you really want one. If you do, you'll find a way to deal with the pain (take ibuprofen beforehand, eat candy during, take ibuprofen after are just some examples). I have found 98% of the time that people psych themselves up into thinking it's going to be the worst pain ever and come away thinking "you know, that wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be..."
― luna, Friday, 7 September 2007 17:05 (sixteen years ago) link
It sounds like the pain issue is pretty individual. Hmmmmm.
luna - I kind of think "it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be" about natural childbirth (I didn't have anything w/my second because she came so fast). (All this being said, I still tell people "don't be afraid to go for the epidural!")
― Sara R-C, Friday, 7 September 2007 17:09 (sixteen years ago) link
Maybe that's only with the 4-hour type jobs. . .
Yeah what Luna said about the pain is right. It only lasts for a little while and what you get in return lasts a lifetime. Not a bad tradeoff.
― Ms Misery, Friday, 7 September 2007 17:11 (sixteen years ago) link
That could very well be. None of mine have lasted longer than 2 1/2 so far, so that is very possibly why.
I want a new one, too - my tattoo guy is supposed to be here sometime this month from Hawaii, so I'm hoping to see him this time.
― luna, Friday, 7 September 2007 17:14 (sixteen years ago) link
luna - I kind of think "it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be" about natural childbirth
Yep, that makes sense. It's sort of the same kind of thing in that it's a fear of the unknown -- you haven't done it before, so you have no idea how bad it will or won't be. Also, when it's over, it's kind of a relief.
― luna, Friday, 7 September 2007 17:16 (sixteen years ago) link
You forgot "I have them, and I don't care whether or not you get any."

That would be I have tattoos but I wouldn't recommend them because since you don't care whether someone gets one, why would you recommend it?

To me, "I wouldn't recommend them" makes it sound like my experience was so terrible that I would urge all and sundry to stay well away, which is why I said what I did.

Not all tattoos in that general regain are tramp stamps and not all ladies that have them are tramps. Not that I would um know or anything.

I was in a rednecky bar in the middle of nowhere back when I had my septum pierced and it made everyone either want to beat me up or come up to me and show me all about their tattoos.
One was a woman who was very, very much like buttattoo girl (other than the butthole tattoo, at least to my knowledge). She had a terrible tattoo of a witch stirring a cauldron on her arm with SHADY LADY under it, and one of her son's name that she refused to show me because it was spelled wrong.

i haven't had one in 22 years -- was talking to a friend about getting slice of watermelon tattoos -- then i thought, a slice of watermelon tramp stamp would be kinda awesome -- then i thought -- that might give ppl the impression that i was super into anal ...
