I got my first tattoo on my lower back and it hurt but not as much as i expected it to. It was more of a burning sensation, what hurt the most was towards the end when he was blending the colors together. It healed in a week and itched a lil bit, this is definately not my last tattoo
like someone else in this thread said, check bmezine.com for info on tattoo, its really informative on that stuff. Good Luck!!
