I was planning on getting an ankle tattoo after I get my degree as a sort of gift to myself for all my hard work.. just wondering how painful the experience really is.

    Well I want a tattoo that symbolizes the accomplishment of graduating from college; figure if I want a tattoo stuck on my body for the rest of my life it'd better symbolize something I'm proud of. Worth the wait!

    It actually doesn't hurt me at all. But I have a high threshold for pain.

    I've heard it's like repetitively stabbing a sunburn.

    If u can handle a paper cut or a cat scratch, you can handle a tattoo.

    never had one but I've heard a few times that feels like getting rug burn - that kind of high-friction rubbing and heat. And of course, it hurts more if the needle is going over a bony area.
