I want one. I've wanted one for years. I even have one picked out, the spot on my body I want it, and the tattoo shop in town that I want to do it. I just can't pull the trigger. I've had all this information for several years now, and I can afford to do it.

BUT WHY CAN'T I DO IT? I want a tattoo so bad. I love them and it's a huge dream of mine, even though it's something so simple.

If you have tattoos, how did you get over the fear of needles/pain if you had any? What tattoos do you have? Do they have meaning, or just for fun?

For anyone curious, this is the tattoo I want.

You already know what you want and where you want it, so you could do a little drinking before getting it done.
Just don't drink so much you end up going "ah, fuck it, let's do another one now too!" lol

We’ll carry on

I’m not too good with needles either (I had my blood drawn a lot over the years and it went wrong so many times), but getting a tattoo is nothing like it.
I got my tattoo in the same place I got my first piercing, by the daughter of the owner. The hardest thing was sitting still for an hour.
The conplete time I was there, I was sitting there like “dude, is this it?”. Yeah you feel it but even bumping your knee hurts more.
