I did it!
So I went through with it, and yesterday I got my tattoo! it hurt kinda bad on the straight lines, but it was fine for the rest. Not so fine that I ever want to do it again, but it was better than expected. It's not on my butt, but it's low enough on my right side that I can hide it from my dad. I got an alto clef, and it looks awesome. I totally recommend this place if you're getting your tattoo in Baltimore: Read St. Tattoo. Really clean, really nice.
