Hey,
I'm going in for my first tattoo tomorrow morning, i'm just curious as to what other people's experiences with tattooing are.

I'm having mine on my left ankle, of the best footy team in the world The Adelaide Crows. I'm pretty nervous to be honest cause i dont have a very good tolerence for pain, hopefully it will all go well.

Its easy just sit there and swear lots.

Have some foods and drink before you go to avoid the adrenaline shakes (thats a horrid feeling).

Chill out and relax it will be done before you know it.

Then you can spend two weeks panicking about the healing. Piccies when its done please.

As OB has said , it is not to bad ....it will hurt but is very easily handled if you make you have a feed , drink , have a good night sleep the night before and be positive . well that's my theory any way .

please take the guys advice and eat first manda, even if you are nervous. I made the mistake of going in straight from work without eating a thing, and the adrenaline rush was the worst part of the whole experience. I definitely would have had a much more pleasant time with it had i eaten.

Don't like it Crow bah. No, its really look good even if I have to admit to it, I'm Tigerman myself.
There really is nothing that comes close to it ARL is a joke. You might as well say kick me in the head and be done with it.
NRL is twice as good. I'm only having a lend of you Dickyknee, lol. I do like most sport but your's I have to admit I don't like. I had a look at your pics to Dickyknee and I like them. You have a tallented tattooist.
I have the Tigers logo on my right chest. And I'm waiting for the son to come home to load it onto the gallery.
And With the Crows there is only one good player and that Roo. I don't know how to spell his name thats why I done it that way. I hope you know like me there is no way that you can change teams now.
Well done from the Tattman.

Sorry about this but you should post how things went in the Tattoo Experiences area as each body part has it own pain levels and each person is different in how they tolorate pain to. The tattman
