lmfao, anyone else realise that the picture of the man behind her on the wall is actually a tattoo'd vagina?

My opinion? If you REALLY want the tattoo, it shouldnt matter how much it hurts.

You shouldnt change your placement and decision on what you want that will last forever on something such as a temporary pain...

[henshalldood]

thats why i plan on getting my first tattoo while im fat

My first tattoo was on my right rib cage. Is about the size of my hand. I'm 15 and it was extremely painful at first, but towards the end I just wanted to fall asleep. It's not as bad as you think. But not a great spot for your first tattoo.

Closer the bone, more painful.

I think it depends from person to person, I had my tattoo done yesterday over my spine, and it starts in my neck. But I hardly felt anything.. Most of the times you want a tattoo done, you've already decided on a spot, so changing it because it would be too painful is kinda weird..

@xXMaggieMaeXx go big or go home!

THANK YOU!!! I just went through twenty videos trying to find out if a tattoo on the upper back is easier to handle...

[PharrellExley]

@ThomasBrendanDawes I'm sure its an armpit, not a vagina lol

[SuperWomenFlyingLow]

I wanna get a quote on my ribs when I turn 18 but since it's just be some little letters i doubt it's be that bad
