My artist will not even do a tattoo if you use numbing cream. The pain is part of the experience.
But there are other artists at the same shop that will not only tattoo you, but will even give it to you beforehand.
Oh manMy artist will not even do a tattoo if you use numbing cream. The pain is part of the experience.
I chose this man for a reason.
Instead of self injury, I now go for tattoos. Same result (pain and a scar, and a vast amount of emotional relief), but with the added bonus of having something meaningful permanently embedded into my skin. People can see what matters to me by what I get tattooed. And even though I would not go out and get the same tattoos again if I had to start over, I do not end up regretting them. They are my story. And one day I will be old and broken and I will be able to look at them all and remember everything that once had meaning to me (unless I get dementia, then I can just look at the pretty pictures). 
Thatās awesome!! I wish I had the money to do that because I would get so many tattoos instead of the other thingI chose this man for a reason.
For me, tattoos come before all other forms of pleasure. If I think that something is going to make me happy, I just think of the amount of relief I get while getting a tattoo, and I pocket my money. I have a tax return coming in next month, so I am going to get all 6 tattoos done in a go and finally get some mental peace after the crappy year I had.Thatās awesome!!

May I ask what the other thing is? You obviously do not need to disclose it; I am just curious.Thatās awesome!! I wish I had the money to do that because I would get so many tattoos instead of the other thing
Same as what you stated beforeMay I ask what the other thing is? You obviously do not need to disclose it; I am just curious.
My cousin was a tough guy. He got one on his neck and never flinched.I have all of the major "oh shit, that is going to hurt!" spots tattooed. The worst, by far, is the thigh. I did not flinch at having my bony foot done, my ankles, my hand, or my wrists. But lord, I felt every puncture of the needles on my thigh.
I've never used the numbing cream, so not sure if it works or not, but it's an option.My artist will not even do a tattoo if you use numbing cream. The pain is part of the experience.
