I have three.

One is on my chest up by my left armpit. Right where my bra strap lies. It was my first, and my simplest one. Just a line drawing of a heart with two symbols inside. It's the symbol my first girlfriend and I used to sign all of our love letters. It's to remind me of how far I've come since I was 16... had a nervous breakdown, went into foster care, blah blah blah.

My second is on my right shoulder blade. Two small butterflies and the letters Ek. All done in rainbow. Ek is my religion's name for God. (Eckankar)

My third is on my left upper arm. It's the Japanese characters for "Precious." It actually translates into "most loved" but it serves its purpose. I got that tat to remind me of my self worth. I AM precious, dammit. This one is my favorite. A lot of guys and girls have hit on me because of that one. You should see the smile on their faces when I tell them what it means!

I don't know when I'll get another. As soon as I think of something special to put on my body. It usually takes me six months or so to decide on a tat, what I want it to be of, where I want it.

As to the pain. I love dabbling in BDSM, so the pain wasn't a problem. It's a bit startling at first, but I quickly drop into a euphoric state. I find it very relaxing. Sure, it hurts, but it's not unbearable. I enjoy it a great deal actually. Can't wait to do it again!

Don't get a tat if you're squeamish at the sight of blood. You might faint. Bad idea.
