so yup. im finally mulling over actually getting a tattoo. for a long time ive been too much of a wuss to actually get one. i have a fairly low tolerance for pain(go figure) but im thinking i might be able to do this...at least once.
because ive put up with some fairly terrible pain in my life, IMO.
>Crashing into a brick wall whilst speeding downhill on a bike at age 6 with no helmet or safety padding or anything
>Groin Pull/almost hernia a few years ago
>giving blood(both charitable, and for medical reasons)
>taking allergy shots for at least once a week for i think maybe two or three years.(Like back when i was 12)
Now for the most part i've never had that much of a problem with needles. Before the allergy shots
i used to be really uncomfortable with needles. During the allergy shots and for a couple years after, didn't have a problem with them, but for some reason now they just make me a little anxious/nervous, but it's nothing i can't deal with. Most people i know compare it to a bee sting. which i know isn't that bad, but for me, psycologically it kinda is. i grew up allergic to bees and they always (and still kinda do) scared the buhjeezus outta me, and i associated bees with death, so psycologically i have to get over that if im going to do that. I hadn't been stung by a bee for quite a few years, until like a year or two ago and wasn't that bad. it stung and burnt for like five to ten min. and then it was gone. so i think i can do it.
(sorry about the long paragraph)
but the tattoo im thinking of getting is a classic black Batman symbol. on my upper left arm. Batman's always been a big part of my life, its what got me into comics and thats a huge part of my life.
so thoughts, opinions, advice, bellybuttons?
