I want a small tattoo, will it hurt?

Im thinking about gettin a tattoo on the outside of my wrist (a 4 leaf clover), will it hurt, please be honest.

Im a little soft and hate needles but have wanted a tattoo for so long, and think it's best 2 start off small.

I have my tummy peirced, and that hurt a little, but I stuck it out.

cheers..x

    If I'm honest, yes, I found it hurt a lot. The belly piercing was about 3 out of 10 on the pain scale, the tattoo was about 8.5

    Hi:

    Yes tattoos do hurt but you have to remember what you like today is not want you like for the future.

    Tattoos are expensive to get removed and you are marked for life.

    That is if you ever get into trouble with the law that is the first thing you will be known for (tattoo on her wrist.

    You need to think it over because the tattoo is not hidden it will be exposed.

    The wrist is said to be painfull. Also Its not a pain like an injection its more a pain like someone is scratching your skin. I know some people who enjoy the pain and it doesnt bother them in the slightest.

    It will hurt. considering its about 5 tiny needles probing roughly 4mm into your skin at lightning speed. the sensation is like a burning feeling

    however the placing you have chosen is a considerably easy area.

    Youll be fine, everyone who has tattoos no matter how many will say it scares them. I have 5 and i do other and i still crap myself, but i cant b that bad since they always come back for more.

    just go for it, find a tattooist who appeals to you and explain that youre very afraid, they will adjust their style to you.

    Goodluck

    Yes, but it depends on the person how bad it hurts, and it's over pretty quickly..especially with small tattoos.

    The one on the top of my wrist barely hurt at all.

    If you want it enough, it's worth it.

    They do hurt but only while they are being done.

    It also depends on your pain threshold how much it will hurt.ive got one on my wrist and it only took a couple of minutes.

    as soon as theyve finished the pain goes away

    Everyones pain tolerance is different. So there's really no way to answer that. What hurts for some may not hurt for you, or vice versa.. GOOD LUCK!

    My tummy tattoo was less painful than my belly button piercing, which also bled a lot more.
