A few questions about tatoos...?
1. Does it hurt alot?
2. If so how much, what does it feel like?
3. How do they do it with the needles
4. If I draw my own tatoos and recolor them with premanent marker, will it damage my skin or discolor it, or leave stains?
5. Is it possible to get tatoos removed?
No I want to get a chain with hearts around my ankle, and a cresent moon with 2 starts on the other. I'm a bit sensitive to pain. And I drew the design I want on my anke to see what it'd look like first.

you can get tatoos removed but its more painful and more expensive than actually getting a tattoo.. i agree with the other person.. if you are already wondering if you can get it removed.. its probably not the best idea to get one.

1- It hurts depending on where you get the tattoo. If it's in a place without much padding (ankle, lower back, wrist) it'll hurt more. I have 8 tattoos and the ones on my wrist hurt the most.
2- I consider it more irritating than painful. To me, it feels like getting popped with a rubber band over and over really fast.
3- The needle is attached to a small glue-gun like device. When it's on, it goes in and out of your skin very quickly. A tattoo is basically like a wound with ink in it. While it's healing, it will scab over like any other scratch or scrape, but if you pick the scab, it will take the ink out too. The new layer of healed skin is what hold the ink in.
4- Drawing a design with permanent marker will wash off, but it'll take a few days to come off completely.
5- Yes, there is laser tattoo removal. From what I hear it is VERY painful and pretty expensive. I would recommend thinking very carefully about what you get. Taking it off is painful to your skin and your finances.
Good luck!

It doesnt hurt. It is just uncomfortable. It feels like the tip of a needle repeatedly scratching the surface of your skin. The needles just pust ink into the first few layers of skin.Your owm tatoos shouldn't pose any problem and yes you can have tatoos removed but it will leave scars.

Pain depends on your personal tolerance. My heavy handed artist tattood on my ribs for 3 hours with no breaks and it didn't bother me.
They SHOULD dispose of the needles in a sharps disposal container, like the ones they put needles in at hospitals.
Dont really understand what you mean by drawing your own tattoos... But coloring on yourself will wash off everntually I suppose.
Laser removal can get rid of tattoos but its better to just be sure when you get it in the first place.

Yes it hurts I just got an arm band on saturday. You do get use to it though the area kinda goes numb.
It feels like some1 was cutting me with a razor.

hahaha if you are asking if you should draw on your own tattoos with permanent marker you are probably too young to get one. what are like 16, maybe 17? come on now. and if you are asking about getting a tattoo removed then you are definately not 100 percent sure you want one. i have 2 tattoos and the one on the inside of my arm hurt alot. remember they are FOREVER. just get one of them temporary tattoos outta the quarter machine kid. and plus what were you thinking of tattooing on you? the nsync logo or maybe FALL OUT BOY!

1. It hurts....pain depends on location and person
2. To me it felt like bee stings
3. you can find this stuff on the net...easy to find rather than explain it all
4. you're going to create a tattoo by coloring on yourself? Is this a joke?
5. Laser surgery - very painful and takes multiple sessions and costs alot of $$$...put alot of thought into what you're getting
re: your #4 ques...are you under 18? Can't get a tattoo if you are under this age.

1. Does it hurt alto?
Depends on the spot your getting it at. Like I have 2 tattoos one on my lower back and one on my hip the one on my lower back hurt like crazy and I couldn't even feel the one on my hip so it just depends.
5.Is it possible to get tattoos removed?
Yes but I heard it is REALLY painful and very expensive

why would you get a tatoo and then think about getting it removed already when you havent even got it yet?obviously you are not sure...dont get one.just go buy a bazooka gum.they come with tattoos...and itll come off the next day.and it doesnt cost that much either!
