FranchescaLots of people including yourself would have thought about it at least once before sitting in the chair 
Does It Hurt?. Well, if you enjoy getting poked with a needle, then no! But, if you are a bit needle shy, then you may want to ask the artist the best way to deal with the pain. Honestly though it’s not so bad. If it were, do you really believe so many people would be flocking to the nearest ‘inkery’ to get their next tattoo after their first?
Every last person in the world has their own level of pain tolerance. With that in mind, everyone’s tattoo experience will be different. It may not hurt you as much as it would your Aunt Sally. But then
again, Aunt Sally may have had a pretty tough life and built up a better natural resistance to pain than you. It all depends on the person.
A good saying to remember when getting a tattoo is, “grit you teeth and bear it”.
If you are a total wimp, or just extra sensitive my advice would be to just stick with something small and in a place that won’t be as painful!
