Take a credit card and scratch the area u want to get tattooed with the edge of it. This gets your nerve endings used to being irritated and will take away the pain. Your arm is used to being touched, bumped into, so your nerve endings there arent as sensitive...you will be just fine. Just don't drink or take any aspiran/pain killers before because it thins your blood. So u will have a greater chance of bleeding, and that leads to longer healing times. Get some fragrance free lotion..aveeno healing works wonderful. You want to avoid neosporin, chlorine, vasoline, and direct sunlight on your tattoo while it is healing. Dont pick the scabs and your good. I have 15 tattoos and have learned that lotion heals better and the color/ink doesnt fade out. Just remember fragerance free cuz the alcohol will burn..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33561139.post-29131908111409316422008-05-13T11:40:00.000-04:002008-05-13T11:40:00.000-04:00i have 2 tatts and gettin a rainbow sun on my shou...i have 2 tatts and gettin a rainbow sun on my shoulder blade in a couple weeks. i have my ears,belly buttin,eyebrow and cartalige periced and getin a labret soon lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33561139.post-15460229009566878232008-05-12T23:38:00.000-04:002008-05-12T23:38:00.000-04:00I have 14 tattoos :) You can see them all on my my...I have 14 tattoos :) You can see them all on my myspace (myspace.com/ellib) Some of them were painful/irritating, especially the large one that goes over my shoulder/blade onto my back, but the rest were pretty mellow and I was falling asleep... And they were oozy but very few of them bled. Everyone means something to me in some way or another, even if it just marks a place and time. I think they make me beautiful- they make me comfortable talking about and showing off my body where I wouldn't be willing or able to otherwise.

I was like that, too, when I got my first tattoo :) I only have one and it's really big, but it has no color... and the guy who did it for me was really gentle and if I needed a break he'd let me have one. It really doesn't hurt as much as you think it does, and I got mine done on my upper left back. It took him 45 minutes to finish it, and I never had to take a break. Don't let people fool you and say bad shit about tattoos, it's not even really a needle when you look at it. Most good tattooists know what they're doing and are pretty light handed. Good luck getting your first tat!<BR/><BR/>Just remember, tip them well or your next tat WILL hurt ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33561139.post-75096699880616949052008-05-12T12:43:00.000-04:002008-05-12T12:43:00.000-04:00Thank You once again for brightening my day!

Took a Xanax to calm me down, and I was still shaking like a leaf, felt like I was going to vomit, it was horrible. I hate needles, blood, the whole 9 yards, but I really wanted this tattoo, so I sucked it up. I've loved every second of having it. It's a Celtic knot butterfly. It symbolizes my heritage (I'm majorly Irish) and the butterfly stands for rebirth, and I got it when I came out to my family. I may not be able to see it as it is on the back of my neck, but knowing it's there is enough, and surprisingly it wasn't very painful at all. Since then I have a two-part tattoo on my wrists It's a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow with a shamrock and stalks of heather (my name). It's an original idea, and I love it! But just an fyi, wrist tattoos hurt like a bitch! Good luck with yours!

But I really do feel that YOU bring out the realness of the community and I too look forward to reading your blogs and I loved watching the video stuff too. I respect you and look up to you. Pls never leave us. Thanks for all you do and thanks for helping others.

So I suggest that. Also he said this to me, "when you wait until you have something that means a lot to you, it lessens the pain, and makes it worth it." And I definitely think that quote is worth it. :)<BR/><BR/>Also, You just rock! I can't count the times, when after I read your blog for the day, it came up later in my conversations. <BR/>Thanks for always giving me something new to think about, and hot and stimulating to tickle my senses! <BR/><BR/>Peace and Love!<BR/>TinaComeInsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02495408436466961273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33561139.post-46009442951682036152008-05-11T23:52:00.000-04:002008-05-11T23:52:00.000-04:00Hey, Arlan!

And because I couldn't send you this via Myspace, I'll just have to write to you here. <BR/>You said you wanted to touch countless people's lives. You're doing well on your goal, and you can add mine to your list. I consider you my Hero. To be quite honest, there aren't even a handful of people who I could call my heros, so it means a lot to me when I can actually find someone to give the title to.<BR/>Being an in-the-closet teenager has been difficult. But your blog always seems to cheer me up, and make things more bearable. When I feel as if I'm the only one, just one in the masses of society, it's always a comfort to go on your blogs and your myspace and see so many of us. It's like you've united many of the lesbians into one convienient little place. =]<BR/>I just don't even really know how to explain to you how I feel. It's just great, and I thank you so much for just being you. It's helped me to become a better me, and to accept me for who I really am.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and just to let you know.. Within maybe.. an hour of posting myself on the Daily Lesbian Experiment, I had five friend requests from five lovely lesbians. What's great about it is, I'm not just taking up space on their friend's lists, but I'm talking to them all. So thank you for this as well.<BR/><BR/>-Love, Paige.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33561139.post-35893650016751245812008-05-11T22:44:00.000-04:002008-05-11T22:44:00.000-04:00I definitely want a tattoo in the near future!

Everyone kept telling me how much pain I would be in [everyone that didn't have tattoos that is] and it was pretty much painless for me especially since I got the tattoo on my right shoulder blade. Its in no way like giving birth lol. Certain areas are more sensitive than others. Mine bled a lot but that's mainly because it was tattooed over my bone. I'm s small chick so there wasn't any meat to cushion that needle. I think that you will be ok, but you do know that tattoos are addictive riiight? lol I'm going to recruit training for the Marine Corps on May 26th.
