    Yes. Yes they do and I'm looking forward to it. I tracked down the guy who started some work on my back and I'm going to finish part of it this weekend. The tat started as a take on ying and yang and the idea that things come full circle. The good samurai is done and this weekend I'm doing the bad samurai.

    Tattoos! I'm stoked you're getting to move forward with your masterpiece Dom. I am insanely jealous that you're getting ink and I'm not. I better at least get good pics!

    Also, I agree that tattoos hurt, but what a lovely and fantastic pain it is!

    tattoo pain is addictive. it feels so good like scratching an internal organ. color is forthcoming. the plan is to do a background behind the samurai's. one dark and one light. a friend of BigWilly's (LowKeySmith) has got a fantastic artist who is boss with color. I want the backgrounds to lead into 1/4 sleeves and this guy is not cheap so I got to save my pennies.

    Im gonna be getting my first tattoo soon hopefully. Im still deciding where i want it though.

    Are there certain places that are more painful?

    Oh dear! Even as I was reading the title of this thread, I could feel the needle on my ass again. LIke a hot iron brand.

    I agree w/ the pain being addictive, but that was a little much. I'm more into the pain from piercings. Richie, I want my tragus and rook pierced!!!

    my first tat, the one in the middle was directly on my spine for a lot of it. Not so bad, although I could feel the vibrations in my teeth. the artist wasn't very heavy handed. the one on the right hurt like a mofo. on the scapula was freaking horrible. to illustrate the one in the center took 6 hours, straight through. the one on the side took 2.5 with like 3 breaks. by the end i was totally done. all of my adrenaline was spent and i went to my girlfriends house and took a nap. so yeah, some places are way more sensitive.
