Cold Feet or Just Flat-Out Scared?

I've never had a tattoo before. I know exactly what I want to do, but am insanely worried about how it's going to hurt. It'll be the inside of my wrist, and while I do have a decent tolerance for pain - I'm nervous about what to expect. Also, it's being done by my boyfriend with a homemade gun, not at a shop - I've been warned it hurts significantly more than at a shop (he's done 4 out of the 5 he has himself, so his ability is the one thing I'm NOT nervous about...)

Home made (Machine) not in a shop,not a PROPERLY TRAINED ARTIST,has done 4 or 5,and youre worried about the friking pain? WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE!

Is this a real post or just something to get the pros going???? On the off chance it is REAL...where the hell to begin? 1. Just say no. Yep, I think that says it all... 4-5 tattoos..homemade "gun"...sounds to me like you will be seeing either a dr soon or breaking up with your man...WOW...sucks to be you.

Since when does 4 tattoos equal experience? You'll get the tattoo you deserve, as well as any infection that comes with it.
