Hilarious!

Try to take your mind off of it, the pain goes away. If you can get a good looking chick to go with you for some eye candy, much better! Then you won't cry so easily.

Rule of thumb, the good looking chick thing works with most anything...

I would rather get like two dolphins around my belly button, lol.

Yeah man, Just make sure you go to a good place. My girlfriend got one awhile back (before I met her) and it looks like she had it for a couple of years already, when she has only had it for like 4 months. I'm guessing they used some bunk *** ink?

I have 9 all together. All I can say is this. They all hurt nomatter what antone says. Some more than others but they all do hurt. I always think of it like this and it works for me. Once he puts one small line what are ou going to do stop and have to explain to the hot chick you were too much of a p@#!y to go any further. I say start right off with a big 1. Get a sleeve...LOL GL

don't forget to post how it went. I plan on getting one on my forearm, i don't care for the pain, but afraid my natural reaction pulls me away.Like when you touch something hot.

Dont wrap it, I wraped both of mine and they faded faster than they should have. Just keep it moist for the first 2 weeks. And dont forget to get that **** set, tell the artist to set it for you.
