I am looking to get an inner bicep tattoo for my very first tattoo. It will be three arrows that all cross each other. I am a little worried about the pain I might feel, especially with it being my first. How was the pain for other people?
This is the best example I can give you to know how does it feel to get a tattoo.Take a rubber band - relatively strong and extend it to as much as you can. And keep hitting one single spot say for 12 to 20 times. This is more or less how you would feel when you are getting a tattooAnd if you need a comparison, then try different parts of your body with the same process.This will give you an idea of how it feels to get tattooed.If nothing else - try this.Ask the tattoo artist not to put any ink but to just give you a feel of it for a few minutes - say 10 minutes. He may charge you for it - but you would have an idea of how exactly a tattoo feels.Keep in mind finally - what makes tattoos a matter of pride is the pain you take to get them. Personally, I would say its not that a big deal to get a inner bicep tattoo because the ones on the neck & side ribs area - the 12 hours session - at least for me - were really truly and miserably horrible in comparison to others parts of the body.Loy Machedo
Is a finger tattoo a bad idea?
I wouldn’t say immediately as YES, for a few reasons, but Yes.Reasons it might be a bad idea:It fades (can be solved by redoing it, but be ready to do it A LOT)You might have professional issues (and even personal)If you want details, that’s not a good place (usually too small)Depending on how much you tattoo, you’ll require extra care, as the hands might usually get dirtier and touch more stuff, so you could get a bad healing.Even though I agree with the other replies, I believe that:Pain is relative (can or not hurt as hell), if you have previous experience with being tattooed, you might have an idea of how resistant to pain you are.As you can see, most of it goes for the negative side, but it’s always your choice to do it. I have almost everywhere tattooed (no face or neck so far) and never had a problem, but I work in IT, mostly startups.
Pain in right side, liver damage or cirrhosis?
I drink too much. I will admit that. I drink once or twice a week and drink to excess (9 beers and I am 165 lbs at 5"11). I am almost 28 and have been drinking this way since 21 (though I did drink since I was 18 but not as much). The last year or so I occassionally get pain in my side after drinking. I went to the doctor almost a year ago and they ran every test:blood, cat scan, etc, and everything checked out ok. I also had a blood test done 3 months ago and my liver and kidney function are well within the normal range. I know i must be damaging my liver so why do my tests come back normal? My liver and kidney function actually came back great according to my doctor. So could it be something else that alcohol is aggravating?
