I hate needles too. Have a pretty severe squimishness about skin breaking. Tattoos arent really that kind of pain. Really it's more of a scraping pain if anything. Like, as if a cat's claw was sandpaper-y like it's tongue, and it kept scratching you really hard.

yeah, to me it felt like scratching a sunburn. I have a serious needle phobia, but only for hypodermics, tattoo machines don't trigger it at all.

Ya. I almost get excited thinking about it. Definitely something very addicting about it. Half of my tattoos wouldnt be there if I had slept on the idea another night.

I have never had one. I have one picked out, but just can not do it. I think maybe I'll wait until I'm 80, then the tat will look really good until I die, lol,! These 20yo tats should say something about them. My brother has a sleeve and wants a full body tat. I never even pierced my ear(s).

Also, wow!

It does seem that millennials, more than any other group of mainstream consumers, are obsessed with tattoos. Once reserved for indigenous tribes, soldiers, sailors, punks, and ex-convicts, tattoos have skyrocketed in popularity. Health food supermarket chain Whole Foods seriously considered installing tattoo parlours in its format “365” stores in an effort to entice millennial shoppers. The United States Navy has changed its body art policies to allow for more and larger tattoos in the hopes of drawing in more millennial recruits. In 2010 about 40 per cent of millennials had at least one tattoo and that number has increased in the last six years. Young Instagram and high fashion runway models are often spattered with tiny, artsy tattoos. What could have caused the tattoo business to become one of the fastest-growing industries in North America with an enormous client base of young people?
According to famed American tattoo artist Megan Massacre, a shift in the way tattoos were perceived occurred around the same time reality shows like TLC’s 2005 hit Miami Ink that normalized — and dramatized — the once-subversive experience of tattooing and being tattooed hit airwaves. The exposure of tattooing to mainstream media channels marked a change — instead of being the mark of social degenerates, tattoos were suddenly desirable, cool, and sexy. And, Massacre notes, the increasing number of inked musicians and sports players certainly helped: think Rihanna, Cara Delevingne, and Ed Sheeran.

I just got a big ass one from my waist to my knee on my right outer leg.
I def agree with millenial tattoos or people that just get a random scatterings of tattoos. When theres no thought or feeling behind it, its unattractive. Only my opinion. But when they are big and beautiful, especially on women, it lights my fire up right.
