I fucking hate when people say that. you can tell someone they will regret the things they do, but can you say that you don't regret the things that you haven't done? life is way too short to worry about what is permanent or not. and our experience here is way too limited to not do something because we are afraid of the reprocussions.

I got my first tattoo when I was 15. I'm terrified of needles too, so I got it on my back so I wouldn't have to look at it. a good tattoo artist will show you the clean needles they are using. I was too scared to look & my best friend was with me so I got her to look and make sure she was taking them out of a sterile package. I think that a lot of the time after you see the needle, you start getting psyched out. try not looking at it.
it hurts a bit, but pain is only temporary, right? but like smokinbass said, do not drink before you get it done. alcohol thins out your blood and you'll bleed everywhere, it's so dangerous.
& do you mean you're getting it done sort of on your inner arm? I'm going to get one there in 3 weeks, like halfway between my wrist and elbow. let me know how it goes.
