on my daughter's 18th birthday she got one. An acorn in memory of her grandfather.

You can be in in a tube, or patch form. It's also recommended for piercings. Of all the tats I have the only one that hurt much was my armband. That only hurt when it got to the inside of my arm. I think the easiest was the shoulder blade.

Yeah my shoulder blade was a piece of cake! It was the hip that hurt...I was holding my friends hand when they were doing it...and i twisted his finger so much he had to go to the ER...thats when they used that cream to numb the area! Great Stuff...

wonder if i can get some when I decide to have kids...hum....

I wonder if this cream would work to ease the pain of plucking eyebrows?? I just cannot pluck my eyebrows (get them waxed, pain all in one shot) it hurts too much! Once I got my cousin to pluck my eyebrows for me and by the time she started on my second eyebrow i had enough pain, wouldn't let her near me and had to wonder around for a week with one nicely done brow and the other looked like cousin IT was sitting on my face. I have even bought ambosol(sp?) and put them on my brows to see it that works ....it doesn't. I thought i had a high pain threshold till the eyebrow thing, now i know i am a wimp. but i still think getting a tattoo doesnt hurt as much as plucking.

try orajel. I spread some on before I pluck and it makes a huge difference. Oddly enough, I find that the baby orajel works better.

You fishies are awesome!!!! Thanks for the tip!!!

I have 4 tattoos... I like to brag and say I have 9, but really only 4.

The first one I had done when I was 18, its a paw print on my right shoulder.
Just over a year ago, I had my left foot tattood with 6 more little paw prints.
Just under a year ago, I had a butterful tattood on my right shoulder.
And last May I had my right foot tattood with flowers and vines.

.. The same day that I had my right foot tattood.. I also got 2 piercings.... (not my ears... ) However, sadly.. just after a couple of months, I had to take them out. No matter what I put in, my body didn't like them. I even spent almost $200 on 14k gold. and I wasn't going to risk deforming my

I was told that the worst place a person could get tatooed was the bottom of the foot. Not sure why someone would want a tat there in the first place but, a well. My Ex got a large dragon piece tatooed on his rib cage, He has tats everywhere and claimed this one hurt like hell. I really want a belly tattoo, but Im told it hurts alot. I m sure it's a walk in the park when compared to childbirth.

My sister moved away a few months ago and my grandmother died at christmas time but anyway when my sister came back she had drawen me out an tribal butterfly, i love butterflies because i think they are the freeiset animals in the world. Anyway after my grandmas funeral i went and got it done, it's wings touch my shoulder blades and the middle of it is on my spine. I want to get another one of 2 butterflies and a star in the middle for my babies and a buck on my arm for my husband i love tats.

I have two tattoos. My first one was done a couple years ago and I thought up the idea, but the tattoo artist drew it out for me. Really great guy. It is a tear drop with angel wings on either side. It is at the base of my neck at the top of my spine. It signifies my flight of saddness. That my sadness is behind me now. My second tat I got before I was married. It is an engagement ring tattoo'd on my ring finger. My hubby has the identical one on his ring finger too. We got them done together.

I will have more done, it is way too addicting. But I want to make sure it is forever, you know, that I will like it forever. My next idea is going to have something to do with my two girls. I'll get it done as soon as an idea pops into my head.

I also want to get wings tattoo'd on my back (full back) But I want them to look realistic. Like they are going to pop off my back any second. It's been a dream of mine for years now, but the cost is HUGE!!! In a couple years I'll get it done.

I have 2 tattoos. I got my first one 6 years ago and it's a heart with butterfly wings on my lower back. I got my second one the end of October on my foot...and its quite big, of a flower with the stem all intertwined around itself. OMG that one hurt like hell...i will never get another on my foot
