tattoos

Many people ask the same question with tattoos. Do they hurt?? The answer is very straight forward. YES!!! No pain no gain. Pain is half the experience of tattoos, if they didn't hurt everyone would have them then they would lose a lot of there appeal. 
Through out the years the acceptance of tattoos, piercing or any other body modification has changed dramatically. The work force has been accepting and embracing tattoos now more then ever. Even the religious leaders have been spotted sporting entire arm sleeves.
So if anyone is seriously considering getting a tattoo try to follow these guide lines
First: Thing of what you really want its gonna be there forever.
Second: Ask your friends who have them, they would know way more about tattoos.
Third: Shop around for a tattoo shop( again ask friends who have tattoos.) Don't settle for any random shop!!!!
Fourth( and last i think): Be ready for the pain. It hurts but its bearable my sister didn't cry and she's a big cry baby.

My motto is:

"No pain -- no pain!"

I think you are right that tattoos are becoming more common. I see them everywhere. I don't think I could get one though. First there's the pain thing. Then, there's the commitment problem: I can't imagine committing to having one permanent image on me for my entire life. You can't change it up? Yikes!

By the way -- the one thing you left off your list (although you imply it, I think) -- make sure the parlor is sterile!

Yes definitely!! The tattoo shop must be clean. If the shop is dirty most chances are the tattooist is dirty too.
I regret one tattoo.. but eh can't turn back now!
