Hey,
Do you have any tattoos and how is it for you when you had them done also what do you think of numbing cream and have you used it? I am asking because when I was 17 I got a largish one on my lower back, it was a stupid, spur of the moment thing and I didn't even choose the tattoo, the tattooist did. It was excruciatingly painful and that isn't me making it sound worse than it actually was.
I actually screamed at one point, I was retching, covered in sweat and almost passed out, it was a terrible experience. Funny thing is only the outline hurt and the tattooist let me have a break and many cigarettes before starting the outline and it was 30 minutes before he started again and I was dreading it. Honestly when he filled it in I didn't feel a thing my back was completely numb, not a single bit of pain and I never understood why? A couple of years later I had a couple of tattooists look at it and they said the guy who did mine did it wrong, used the wrong needles and went too deep into the skin and that's why the pain was really bad. There is allot of scar tissue, you can feel the tattoo when you rub your fingers over it.
So I really need it fixing because I don't like it that much, I can show a picture if you would like to see it? I would also really, really love to have a Tiger tattoo but I am far, far too scared there is no way I would have one done if I have to go through that again but then the numbing cream I keep hearing about seems like it actually works, so I am wondering what you think and also your own personal tattoo stories?
