well new and first tatoo i should say. i finally took the plunge after planning for over two years. It hurt, but actually it wasn't so bad... except for the top of the design, very tender area apparently. it took only a half an hour which isn't too bad i suppose. *shrugs* it was for my grandfather and uncle though, both of whom died and both of whom i was very close to. RIP Darell Lee and Harlan Ray.
