I have 3, my fiancé has 5. (I need to catch up!)
I got all of mine while still "in" JWs. A flying faerie on my right shoulderblade and a rose above my navel (to cover some scarring from a bad navel ring piercing). I was almost asleep for the faerie, and the rose was no trouble.
Last December I got a tribal on my lower back. It's beautiful and curly and in bright green and turquoise. I won't lie...this one hurt. More nerves and I was having reflex pain all over my back. I forgot to breathe through the pain too, so I actually ended up crying.
It hasn't deterred me. I want another one, just have to find a non-really-fat place on my body (HA!) that will let me get one that won't look silly when I lose weight. There's also the fact that I want it to speak of my life's philosophy and I haven't quite worked that out yet.
They are very very addictive.
