Tattoos and other body mods
nekowafer:
Everyone asks about piercings and tattoos hurting. Of course they hurt! They're needles in your skin! It's a matter of how much pain each person can take, and there's no way another person will know what pain you can take. The answer to "did it hurt?" will always be yes, if that person is honest.

My answer to that question is always "If anyone tells you they don't hurt, they are lying".
Jace:
After telling someone that I had finished a 5 hour coloring session on my tattoo they asked me if it hurt. I replied "no, it felt like being tickled by a feather. Of course it fucking hurt, it is needles jabbing your skin thousands upon thousands of times."
Also if someone has a tattoo in an easily visible place I figure it is fair game to ask about it. I wouldn't ever get upset or offended if someone asked to get a better look at the tattoos on my forearms, in fact it happened yesterday in the bank.
Welu:
Maybe asking, "How much did that hurt?" would be a better question because it will always hurt some amount.

I hear so many stories about women with tattoos who have strangers grab their arms/other body parts to have a better look at their ink. I've actually had it done to me as well and it's both bizarre and threatening.

This has happened to me, in public and while working. I really hate being touched so when it's happened I flinch largely and immediately try to pull away and people get offended because, "I just wanted to look." I don't mind people asking what my tattoos are or what they mean but if people ask to look at them it bothers me a little just cause it feels weird to be stared at.

Thanks for the responses.
Obviously, I would not ask about the pain. It's kind of irrelevant anyways. Suffering is temporary.
