First tattoo in a few hours!! (NSFW)

[Hawklet]

Any tips on how to prepare or what to expect?

And no, I'm not drunk and/or doing this without any thought.

I try to avoid things that require me to lay out a disclaimer such as this.

good luck with your new tattoo, you trend follower!

Don't be sunburned. I got my first one on a sunburn and it hurt like hell. Otherthat that, lots of shading hurts, but everthing else feels like someone is trying to write on you w/ a broken pen.

Being drunk would be bad anyways as it thins the blood and dilutes the color of the ink.

It really depends on where you're getting it. Some places hurt like hell. But assuming your first will be on your back or arm or something like that, the pain is not too bad. I'd consider it more annoying that painful. It feels like someone is pinching you over and over again. But after a few minutes you get used to it.

Say yes when no one asked?

Just go to sleep. They'll wake you up when you need to leave.

Don't get it anywhere you can't hide with ease. I like my tattoos, but I don't like where they are.
