Tattoo--
I want to get a semi small tattoo of a dove on my foot but just the outlining not colored in. How painful is it? I'm very good with pain I've gotton my daith, conch, and belly button pierced before and i'm wondering how it is on comparison.
Gauges--
I have regular holes in my ear done with the gun years ago but I really want to get gauges, small ones. I want to get a tiny one so that I can still wear some of my earings like hoop like ones without having big holes in my ears. I don't like it when they are larger than even my pinkie so what is the smallest size??? How to the stretch you ear???

The pain can't be compared to a piercing. It's MUCH different. It's just like scratching a safety pin many, many times across your skin. It doesn't hurt, it's just uncomfortable. If it hits your bone it might hurt a bit, but other than that you should be fine! Good luck with it :D and don't forget to take care of it and don't pick at the scabs or you'll get a nasty scar.
Gauges-
You can slowly gauge your ears with certain types of earrings, which can be found online at www.hottopic.com. If you don't want to slowly gauge it then you can just shove a bigger gauge through your ear. If I were you I would do it slowly. I tried to shove an 8 through a 12 and a chunk of my ear came out, it wasn't pretty. Just gauge your ears up to a 16 or a 14 (the size of a tongue or belly ring) and you should be fine. You could also take a doll needle (a big sewing needle) and put it through your ear, they're usually a 16 gauge.

The smallest gauge is a 20 gauge. Which is most likely what you have, since it was done with a gun. The next size is 18 gauge. The only bad thing about it, is that it is nearly impossable to fine stuff in that size.
I always use this website [below] whenever I gauge. & to help my friends and such. I'm sure it will help you tons.
