Piece of cake. Don't be scared but once you get one you will want more. They are addicting, why? I don't know.

I couldn't even handle the dialysis needle

My friend used to get lidocaine for the needle pain.  She called it "chicken juice!"

Well, my first tattoo is done and I couldnt be more pleased with it! I was pretty nervous when I got there, and even more nervous when I sat in the chair! Well. to my surprise, it was not that bad at all! There were places that definitely hurt more than others, but it basically felt like a needle being dragged across my skin. I didnt punch the guy at all lol. And there was even bigger surprises! The guy doing my sister, well he does the tattoos for the band the Gym Class Heroes, which is a band I like, and he gave me an original painting done by the lead singer of the band! I was really surprised he would just give me that, but it turns out he had a cousin that was on dialysis and unfortunately he passed away when he was 12 :( All in all it was a cool experience and I am already planning on my next one!
