Hi i am thinking about getting my first tattoo on sunday. i know exactally what i want and and quite excited.

I was just wondering is a tattoo on your wrist painful because thats where i want it, i want three little butterflys really small ones, also how much would it cost roughly?

Also does any one have any good advice because im extremly scared of needles x

Wrist's are not the worst place to get tattooed. I like the word sting. It will sting.. some! not a lot but some. Stops when the artist stops. Not a big deal really.

Depends on the shop. But see if they can play the type music you like, or put a channel you like on TV if they have one. Mine can do either.

I have heard a lot of people say talking while your getting tattooed helps to.

Really to hard to give you a price.

Anyway Congrats!!!!!!! Very Happy

sounds like a really pretty tattoo idea. as john said it will sting, but make sure you eat first. the first time i went i didn't eat, and i felt really ill as soon as the needle hit my skin. the second time i ate first, and it was a totally different experience. I enjoyed it much more, and it didn't sting as much.
As for price, your tattooist should have given you a quote when you booked it, if you discussed what you were wanting at the time. If they haven't, ask for a quote before they start. They should be able to tell you.
if you are that scared of needles, just don't look at the needle until it is already under way. by that time you will be more interested in what the artist is doing than the fact that it is a needle that is going in.
Good luck, and let us know how you go. Very Happy
