I was guessing mainly based on your thread about a Mormon trying to convert you while wearing a Hebrew t-shirt, and your steadfast support of and dedication to Israel that I've seen in politics.
If religious factors aren't a concern, then go for it. If you're sure it's something you want enough for it to become a part of you, then a little bit of pain to get it should be trivial. Then again, anything less than excruciating isn't a big deal to me (hooray for high pain tolerance,) so I may not be the best person to consult.
Another consideration is skin movement. You've mentioned a couple of times in the past that you aren't happy with your weight, and if you lose weight, your skin will shrink and move to fit your new shape, and anything embedded in teh skin will distort. This is why I've got 55 pounds (uhh, I htik that's aroun 25-30kg) to go before I get inked up. Even then, it will be UV-responsive ink that matches my skin tone so that I can easily conceal it when I don't want it to be seen (upper back, white UV-responsive ink.)
