Page 1 of my first bit of ink

i am getting my first ever tattoo in october, a memorial tattoo for my father who died last year. it is going to a be a les paul gold top on the underside of my left arm with my fathers year of birth and death written in fancy lettering in black, the nice man in the shop says it is going to take around 2 hours and cost £100.
has anyone ever got that bit of their arm tattooed on this site and how much does it hurt. my older sister (fluff_n_stuff) says it feels like a deep cat scratch but contiunsley.
i have got branded so can anyone compare the pain to that so i know roughly how much it is going to hurt?



oops sorry, this was by noob, sister left her account logged on.

if you`ve been branded then an underarm tattoo will be a breeze, but still be prepared for when they go over the brachial artery. A lot of tattooists do 99% painless these days though...

It`s kind of like a cat scratch but not as fine if you know what i mean. Dragging the corner of a bank card along your arm feels very similar to getting a tat IMO.

Don`t know anyone that`s been branded or anyone that does branding for that matter, is it actual branding?, like hot poker style (:¦

I said catscratch too, but apparently my opinion isn`t as good as you guys ;)

Not quite sure how he came to be branded, but he has a smiley face on his backside...strange person he is ;)

yep, it is. me and my friend sthought it would be a good idea if two of us got branded with a red hot poker we made ourselfs, we steralized everything and it came out as a clean scar, it hurt but it was fun. :D

Fun?, Yeah it sounds it lol. Honestly mate, a tatoo will be a breeze
