I really want some tatts, too. And I'd say it really just depends on the person. Some of my friends say that when they're high, pain hurts even more than usual. Some people, like me, think that the pain doesn't hurt as bad, and it really helps get my mind off the pain.

If you want, try taking some Excedrin or Ibuprofen or something to help with the pain, or maybe even some scrips like Vicodin or Darvocet if you're into pills.

I know that one of my friends took a Xanax blue before she went, and she said it didn't hurt because she was messed up and "forgot" she was even having a tattoo done.
