Odd question....

[deathpixie]

For those on my friendslist who have tattoos... I know the amount of pain depends on where the tat is done - bony places or areas that are sensitive any way (like the inside of your upper arm) are painful, but is it bad just during the tattooing, or does it hurt for a while afterwards? And it's a sort of burning pain, yes?

No, I'm not about to go get one tonight. This is for something I'm writing. ;)

I got a tat on my shoulder, which didn't hurt at all, and one of my lower back, which did hurt, but more in a way that was like... the intense hot/cold sensation you get the instant you pull a muscle? Only v. localized and coupled with the uncomfortable vibration of the needle. And I seem to remember it not hurting at all afterwards.

But then, I immediately went out to a nice dinner, so maybe the ecstasy of salad and fried catfish masked the pain.
