IM GONNA GET MY 2ND TATTOO ON THE BACK OF MY NECK AND I WAS WONDERING IF IT HURTS...

YES!

Of course it doesn't hurt. It feels wonderful. A flu shot hurts more, actually.



OF COURSE IT'S GOING TO FUCKING HURT. IT'S A TATTOO, MORON.

Val...You are mean and vicious and downright crude!!!!


I like that in a woman!!!!...Smoochies from TAz!


And wheres my damn coconut?

Smooches back!

I am going to peruse for the perfect coconut tomorrow.... well.. pending the damn weather situation..

Do you still feel your first tattoo? Of course not. If it hurts, big deal, it will only be for the duration of the tattooing process, then you're good to go like a taco bell menu item. If it's what you want, then get it done!

If the tattoo on the back of my neck was the first it surely would have been my last. Your neck starts to hurt after 5 @#$%ing minutes (an d becomes almost unbearable after an hour or two of stretching... its torture after four) and you need to keep your neck strait during healing (with a super soar neck) and threw out my back last time...

You earn tattoos on your neck. It hurts a lot.

Ok, I lied a bit I guess. I did get more tattoos after my neck. Even the other side of my neck, but still, it was probably a long time and I certainly aint looking forward to fixing up the other side I got some 10 years ago... I dont remember that one hurting as much as the other two so much for some reason...

I'm never going to be able to think about Puff the Magic Dragon the same way again....


you are a brave, brave individual......

Ummmm..Gabe...with all the talk of scaring people off this site and from tattooing in general do ya really think this pic is appropriate?....I would be the last one to censor anyone but DAMN! this could be pushing the envelope a tad ...or am I just gettin old and stodgy?....Ya know some very young kids do visit this forum ...I don't think I'd want my kids looking at a picture of a giant tattooed schlong!

Pretty good work though considerin!!...T

PS what does everyone else think?

uuuuhhhhh......
Honestly, I'm kinda dumbfounded....

Just something to ponder over....

Rather than whether it hurts or not...how about will it affect your job? Will it affect getting a new job? Just somehting to think about as if you are not in the tattooing industry we are in a very judgemental society.

:)

Cant.... look.... away.....

yeow.

Well.. I mean... the idea is .... kind of... cute...
but....

... ... ...

Good gravy!~

Photo censored, folks can email for it if they want...

thank you!!

looks like i shouldn't post the picture of the hellmouth vagina either. oh well. you can email me if you want that one. it's pretty frigging hilarious.

it feels like candy and kittens

The "Puff" tat was hilarious...almost looked too good..the tat I mean!

THe Hellmouth vagina...I think I actually saw that one. Did she have dark hair...on her HEAD!

Perverts.

hey tearz, thought i'd tell you about my experience w/ my neck tattoo.

i thought it was gonna hurt like hell, and i was prepared for it, cuase when i really want a tattoo, especially in a place i know it's gonna kill, if i really want it, i will get it... no matter how bad it kills.

I've got tats on my wrists going up towards my elbows, got tats on my arms near shoulder, upper/lower back, upper center back, lower center back, both shoulder blades, a few on my stomach, and the one on my neck. Now out of all the places i been tatted on, i have to say, the stomach hurt me the most.

The neck tattoo didn't really hurt me much... it felt like a lot of pressure... i mostly just felt pressure... my neck, i got no flabby skin up there.. i'm all bone and thin skin up there... all i felt was a tingling feeling and the pressure too... yeh, i felt the needle/ and a burning sensation too... but i felt the pressure more... the outline hurt more then the filling, but not by much... i pretty much felt every bit of it... but some of the pain actually felt good to me...

surprised you are getting your 2nd on your neck... my neck one i believe i got that as my 11th or 12th one. Out of curiousity, where is your first one at? if you ever had ones done on your back, i can say times that pain by at least 2.

hope that helps..

oh yeah.. i forgot to say... my neck tattoo is on the back of my neck. What i originally wanted to do was a half collar... where it would go halfway around my neck... from the left side to the back to the right side... (so nothing would show in front, you'd just see the sides and back).... glad i didn't cuase i probaly, maybe would of stopped in the beginning... that's kinda near my throat.

anywho, i wouldn't say it depends on the neck where you go, but i could imagine it hurts way more in the front then it does the back.. look at Mike Metzger (Metal Mullisha - FMX)... he's got one right in the front by his throat...

as for tattoos hurting... the advice i always give ppl who ask me, i always say, no matter where you get it it's gonna hurt, whether you get it big or small. i always tell them to get the size they want, and not go small... cuase if they can take the pain, they'll probaly regret it later like i did w/ my right arm, cuase then i had to do a cover up and go bigger to the size i originally wanted.

as for what Gabe said about neck tats, about earning them, i share some of your opinion but not all of it.. i don't know about the earn part, but i think you should wait right now and fully think it thru. i'm not saying it cuase you want your 2nd tat to be on your neck, i'm saying it cuase of the job world... 2 places i know at least in my hometown that kinda looks down upon tattoos (at least places on your body where you have them) are your hands (fingers, wrists, lower arms), and neck (whole/or half collar, or any part of the neck). I have tats in both those areas (wrist/lower arms and back center neck)..and i knew what i was doing when i got them... i knew i was jeopardizing my life for the job world... but i'm already fucked in that direction.... i couldn't get a job when i had 0 (ZERO, NO) tats at all... no tats and no job. i joined the army and i accumulated all 14 tats while in it... I entered w/ 1 tat...(so 15 total now) and i'm still in the military. they have certain rules, but they're pretty lenient now on tats. and i know i can always get more if i want, cuase i'll be here in my job... but if i was in civilian world, i'd probaly be working the same shit jobs i use to, or on my way to prison. ( i was on my way to prison and was hanging by a thread before i joined the military... needed money bad... but that's a story for another time.).

anywho, if you don't have luck in the civilian world finding a job after you get the tat, join the military, they'll take you.. so long as your tat ain't racist or anything...
