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.

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." ;)

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!

― 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."
-- luna, Friday, September 7, 2007 12:37 PM (43 minutes ago) Bookmark Link
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?
― Will M., Friday, 7 September 2007 17:22 (sixteen years ago) link
Also, I've heard a different one for tramp stamp, but I forget what it was now...
― Will M., Friday, 7 September 2007 17:25 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

no, it was a synonym for tramp stamp. it wasn't those things you said, though.

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.

Ass antlers?
― Michael White, Friday, 7 September 2007 17:47 (sixteen years ago) link
still no. it was basically "tramp stamp" except the rhyme was different... i could be remembering something non-existent, though.

as in, it followed the (woman who has sex more often than usual and/or for money) (rhyming word) scheme.

Oh, sorry.
I have also heard: California license plate, back bullseye, slag tag, and slut stamp.

slag tag is good but I think ass antlers is the best for that particular style.
― ENBB, Friday, 7 September 2007 17:53 (sixteen years ago) link
the one i am thinking of, if it actually exists, might be "hag tag." the tag sounds familiar.

Not to offend anyone, as I know a lot of people get tattoos for personal reasons, but I don't get when people come in on LA Ink and are like "I am getting a pin-up girl on my arm to remember my mom/how happy I am right now/new career/the Alamo/etc." Everyone has their little personal story on that show...it makes me feel weird like if I were to get one all I could say would be (for example): "Oh, I just got this tattoo of nachos because I like to eat nachos," or, "I just thought this was a neat image." Do people expect you to say, "Yeah, I got this horse because I could never own a horse, but they also represent courage, majesty, and grace" when they ask about your tats?

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 ... (which I'm not) ... my friend says i'm overthinking this, but I disagree, as it is pretty permanent

Thank you! Those aren’t butt bruises btw I think they’re ink smudges or something lol. It’s edelweiss and Erica flowers. The artist was great and I’m really pleased.
Wait is there some anal/watermelon connection I’m missing?

i mean, it's a food item that is juicy and that you eat -- maybe it's just me, but if you had a tattoo of watermelon near your butt, I would think, that person might be into ass-play? ... inner thigh might be better?
