Cartilage Head:
BEAUTY IS EPHEMERAL PAIN IS FOREVER
SonofZ3:
I haven't gotten my ribcage tats done yet, and I hear that it hurts more than other places, but I have had my underarm, elbow, and wrists tattooed, and it doesn't hurt that much. Stubbing your toe hurts more than a tattoo, the burning sensation of a pulled muscle hurts quite a bit more than a tattoo. I think there are a lot of pains we experience that are worse than the feeling of a tattoo, only the pain in tattooing, since it is voluntary, gets built up as being so bad simply because it would've been avoidable. This is only my opinion, but I think that when pain is more or less unavoidable we accept it and ignore it, while when we have a choice to avoid pain that may, in all actuality, be less painful than many other things, we psychologically make it worse because it could be avoided. Bottom line, to me, is that tattoos hurt a little, but that is part of the experience and it certainly doesn't hurt enough to stop me from going for more.

From everyone I've ever met who had a tattoo, it's been the same, whether they were rather blase about it or absolutely freaked out.

That isn't true, I thought it was going to hurt, I was expecting it to hurt, and then when I got it... It hurt a lot more. But pain is temporary, but your ink will last.

I don't know if I've ever posted the image that is the only one I want as a tattoo ... here it is. I would want it as a simple line drawing, probably.
I would probably just get either the little runner second from left or the one third from left, so like this but without the colors (probably):
I was thinking maybe one or two on my back, on one or both shoulder blades, facing towards my spine and maybe a little up towards my head.
The image is from a cave painting in the Tassili-n-Ajjer plateau in Algeria, and is widely considered to be the oldest documented evidence of psychoactive drug use among humans (5,000 BC if I remember correctly).

I met this punk guy Stevie at a party, and the kid had some crazy tattoos:
"better dead than red"
Also one of my best friends got her new tat this weekend:
She's thinking about getting it colored in. I say she should.
