A week of brain hell.....

[terified girl]

All right! I've had it with this tattoo crap now, this is why I wanted to get my tattoo done spontaneously, because I've had a week to dwell over it, and I've had nothing but sleepless nights and tummy aches and headaches and dizzy spells...


Does that sound like a good week to you? I mean, you'd think my life depended on a surgery that I had a 50/50 chance of dying or something, god if something like that happened I don't think I'd need the surgery to kill me, I'd do that myself from all the worrying!


Anyways I'm not planning to, but I think when the time is near, I'm going to have to take a pill to calm me down, I know my insides will be shaking uncontrollably, probably for no reason, but when you don't know what to expect, thats usually my response!


Last night my stomach was burning so bad, I couldn't eat anything....


Anyways sorry for babbling, I just needed to vent and maybe even be told how stupid I'm acting

If it's any consolation, I was terrified too... for a few days before. I was more scared about the fact that it was a permanent thing, and what if I hated, and more to the point WHAT WOULD MY MOM SAY? than the actual pain. I think what helped with me was that I had sat in on a friend having one done in the past so I knew the procedure and knew what to expect. Have you done that? Maybe you should take a bit more time out to think about it? I can promise you this though, if it's 100% what you want, you will come out of there afterwards wondering what on earth you got so worked up about... seriously...

Yeah for me its the pain, my mom knows and is ok with it and it is something I never wanted on my body, never ever, until 3 weeks ago, and its like I just hae to have it NOW!!!

Get the darn tattoo. Yes it hurts. I had my tattooist stop numerous times so I could do some deep breathing. But, the tat faded some, and a couple months back I went and had it recolored. It wasn't too bad. You will do fine.

I think you just have to get to the point where you want the thingso much you'll suffer the pain, it's like anything else... getting your legs waxed, having your ears pierced, giving birth... sometimes you have to go through it to get the end result. If it's only the pain that's putting you off then I can honestly say it's not worth worrying about, and enough of us on here have told you that for you to know that it must be true!

Your absolutely right!


Not another word from me until tomorrow after I've got my tattoo on my back!


Good bye everyone....I will go have a great 30 hours before I hit the chair..LOL
