I really want to get a small heart tattooed on the middle of my wrist. (Random -- but there's a story with it and such.) The thing is, I know tattoos are already painful to begin with (I've never gotten one before though), and there's that really pokey bone right where I want the tattoo to go. So basically it will hurt like hell. Has anyone else gotten a tattoo on their wrist like that before and how bad does it hurt?? Thanks!

I don't have a tattoo on my wrist, but I do have a couple tattoos (one on my lower back & one on my right side). Honestly, I think you imagine the process to be much more painful than it actually it is. But it all varies per person. Since the tattoo will be going somewhere close to the bone, it'll more than likely feel more awkward/discomfort than painful. My friend got a tattoo on the top of her foot & experienced more "vibrating" than anything when the needle would "hit" the bone. For some it may be painful, but for others it may just be a minor discomfort. When I got my lower back tattoo & the needle got closer to my tail bone, it was more painful. But if it makes you feel any better, I laughed & had conversations through my tattoos, so I can't imagine it being that bad - especially if it's small. If it was really that bad, I wouldn't be planning to get my third tattoo. :)
