I'm like you. I HATE needles, but I sucked it up to have my lip pierced, and to get my two tattoos. To be honest, it doesn't hurt too bad. The location affects the amount of pain you'll feel, but it also depends on how you're feeling at the time. If you're scared and nervous, it's going to hurt. If you're relaxed, you probably will feel it, but not as much as you would if you were jumpy.

I'm not sure how old you are, but if you're 18 and this is your first, do not get it somewhere noticeable. The reason I say this is because it'll be hard to find jobs if you have some HUGE tattoo in a noticeable spot. Also, it could affect the chances of you getting into a good career. Places like lawyers offices and doctors don't want to see someone come in for a job with some huge tattoo. It'd be a turn off for them & they wouldn't think you're very responsible.

You should get it kind of small. Anywhere from half an inch to an inch is fine. If you want it a little bigger, then an inch and a half is okay too. It just depends where you put it.

I have one on my wrist, and one on my hip. The one on my wrist hurt more than the one on my hip did, and the one on my hip is much bigger, and had to be colored. The tattoo on my wrist is small, and in black ink. You really want to discuss this all with the artist because they can tell you more than I can & they will be much more help. You also want to get a quote for a tattoo too make sure you're not paying too much. Also, you must tip! If you tip, it can help them to remember you, and it's just nice to tip in general. I usually tip about $10.

You should really do some research on the tattoo shops where you live so you know who's good, and who's bad. Obviously, you want to go somewhere with a good reputation, decent prices and where they're clean. So you should really look up some places or ask around. Maybe if your friends have tattoos, you can ask them & see what they recommend. You also want to make sure that you don't act on impulse when getting something done. DO NOT see something you like and assume it's the best idea for you. You need to pick something that means a lot to you and that after 20 years will still mean just as much. If you get something spontaneously, you could be likely to regret it so keep that in mind!

Remember the tattoo artist will do what they can to comfort you. They're not going to keep going because it's too much pressure if they just never stop. They stop every so often to relieve you. Also, if you tell them you're in pain, they'll stop to let you relax for a little bit. :)

Don't worry. The pain is very much worth it because tattoos are amazing. I promise everything will be fine. If you have any more questions, feel free to drop a question in my inbox or you can e-mail me as well. The tattoo artist is also there for help so do not be afraid to ask!

don't do it on your bone because it hurts a lot more. i would go for the ankle or the wrist if you want it on your back it might hurt a little more. what should you get really depends on what you like. most people get roses or mom. get what you like maybe a dragon or bird maybe something that is symbolic to you.
how big depends on where you put it. if it is on your wrist/ankle it's gonna be small arm a little bigger, shoulder medium, and back large.

hoped i helped a little more.

Honestly, it does hurt. But if you really want it, it's totally worth it! Plus, it depends on where you locate the tattoo, the more painful it is. If you worry about how painful it will be, when the day comes to when you get the tattoo; it's going to be hell!

Also, I would suggest putting the tattoo on your ankle, that's where my mothers is, and mine.
