Do you use / recommend a numbing agent? or maybe you're already experienced/tough enough to have it done without one...
Well, age doesn't seem to be a barrier for having it done. Even though it's especially associate with the younger generation.
(I think that although the older generation today did do it, it was nearly always men, when they were young. Now that has changed hugely, hasn't it?)

Honestly, this sounds ridiculous, but peer pressure played a big part in mine. At 46 mind you. Hopefully those who get them do it for themselves.
So maybe your grandchildren are not susceptible to peer pressure also, when it comes to tattoos?Honestly, this sounds ridiculous, but peer pressure played a big part in mine. At 46 mind you. Hopefully those who get them do it for themselves.
Although I think you would rather they did it once they got a design they first each really wanted.
@Acolyte Maybe I could also ask you the same question as @Mayflower was asked, Do you prefer to use a numbing agent for getting inked?
I don't remember this question actually. But I wasnt numbed. Didnt know there was.
Thanks! (Post #602, above, actually).
So you weren't numbed; I guess the artist just prepared the area without apply an agent that numbs the skin. Some ppl ask for it; presumably because their pain tolerance isn't high. (DrNumb is one such agent.)
But a lot of ppl's motivation is strong enough and their desire to be inked is deep enough that they can look forward to the experience without feeling the need for a numbing agent (which sounds like was your experience also, right?)
@CharismaticLady Did you have a chance to see any more Ink Master episodes in the past few days?
(I've been sick; not had the chance)

Shows that for a lot of young people it's somehow rather important for them to do it. Not that objectively they OUGHT to do it or that it always MEANS something specific, but that the young ppl themselves attach importance to ink without necessarily putting it into words. (If this makes sense?)

I guess your sense of worry is stronger than your current strong sense of appreciation for the design, right?... really worried about changing my mind.
...I'd love an arm thingy...
Have any of your friends ever explained to you the motivation to use ink in this way in witness? because it's very widespread among Christians now.
My SKIN tolerance?
What about my PAIN tolerance?
I've been through a lot of pain and I don't like it.
BTW, I tried to vote again and it didn't work.
Anyway, isn't this ILLEGAL!
lol
I guess I meant 'skin's pain tolerance'...
Did you try clicking on 'change your vote', above? (Multiple votes are possible.)
PS:
Sounds like you would do better using a numbing agent (assuming you could settle on a design you knew you really wanted; which I understand is in some doubt at the moment).
