I'm planning to get my first tattoo. I'm searching for the perfect design. I want to get a wolf and a dreamcatcher and my name on my shoulderblade. I just submitted my description on a website to have it custom designed by a tattoo artist. I'd like to know what to expect when I actually have it done. So if anyone that already has a tat could please share their experience. Is it really painful? Do you have any regrets? (link)

OK, I'm gonna be the lone dissenter. I have a low threshold of pain, so when I got a tat, it hurt like crazy! It took more than an hour, too. I can't hardly get my finger pricked at the DR, but I sat there and let them ink me up for more than an hour. The difference is that I really wanted the tattoo, so it was all OK. I kept it clean and moist for a few days, but it actually healed pretty quick.
Some things I've heard: colored ink hurts more and fades faster. Some colors look better over time, so choose wisely. Shading hurts. Take some type of pain killer first- ASK the tattoo parlor if it's ok and for a recommendation.
I'm probably the most "vanilla" girl in the world and I have never regretted my tattoo. Make sure you can say the same.

Thank's for your honest. Most people try to act all macho and say that it doesn't hurt at all, but I find it hard to believe. I'm putting alot of thought and research into it before I get inked. I've wanted a tat since I was 13 and I'm 26 now, so I think I'm finally ready.
