Hello, I’m Samantha, 19 and I finally got inked. I have been thinking about a tattoo for over 2 years and I didnt want to get something I would regret, it took alot of thought and guts to sit in the chair. For the people who have not yet gotten inked the pain is, well pain but its tolerable. You wont cry you wont pass out, you will make some funny faces and thats about it. When you get inked bring a friend or family to talk and distract you through the process. I injoyed my experiance and I would sit back in the chair anyday. I found the most annoying thing was the buzzing of the tattoo gun but after the first line you get used to it. So first they put gloves on put the traced image that I drew myself onto my left wrist. They put the needle in the tattoo gun and I was set to get tattooed. It took about 50 minutes but it only felt like 10, I could have sat in the chair forever the pain wasnt enough to make me leave in a hurry. Stubbing my big toe would be far more painful than a tattoo. I will include pictures of my first tattoo which the camera faild to show all the detail and brilliance of the tattoo. The tattoo has the name Jared in it and that is my 7 yr old brothers name. Jared and I are very close and I decided that I wanted his name on my wrist a few months ago. The first line was least painful it was the 2 sides that hurt the most. I cant wait to get my second one done and hopefully it doesnt take 2 years to think of. Yes, it took me 2 years to decide on a tattoo but I made sure it was absolutly perfect. It has been a week since I got inked and I find myself thinking of my next one, I cant wait to get back into the chair again! So here is the picture of my tattoo. I am sorry they are upside down:P
