  • No clue about water injections but my tats didn't really hurt
  • Tattoos feel like a sunburn they dont hurt barely at all.. Never herd of water injections though
  • not many people have guess i was unlucky and they decided to torture me lol
  • My first tattoo I about passed out and its about the size of 50 cents peice on the right side of my lower back. My second tattoo felt good as hell I about fell asleep while he was doing it, the second part of my second tattoo was little tender when he got close to my spine and back side of my armpit. Its on my left shoulder.
  • im just scared if they are anything like the water injections i wont get them. they were more painful than any of my 46 hour labour!
  • They don't hurt I have about 10 of them my shoulders ankles wrist lower back chest the back of my neck and ill be getting one on the back of my calf!
  • p.s. im a sook !
  • Each person handles tats differently. I have a 3 letter name on my right ankle that took less than 5 mins to complete & painwise on 1 to 10 scale it was about a 6! I have a low back tat that took about 45 mins & its pain level was around 5. I have a 10 inch succubus on my right side going from my ribs to my hip (the ribs were fine but the hips over some stretch marks were hell & I got it colored on a seperate visit so about 5 hours $500 worth of work and a phrase tatted on my left forearm that did not hurt at all. I think its all a mindset and in my opinion the color hurts worse cause the tat is already tender. Never heard of water injections but depending on how bad u want ink it will or will not be worth it. Good luck!
  • It really depends on where they are and your pain tolerance. I have one on my back that I used to cover up a scar. It was more painful than the one on my wrist, but that's because scar tissue is kind of weird.

    I have a decent tolerance for pain so neither bothered me all that much.
  • To me tatts don't really hurt. I have 8. Both wrists tickled lol. My shoulder blade hurt quite a bit. And my hips were awful! I was cussing up a storm but that's cuz theyr right on bone. My entire left side only hurt towards my hip and kidney. Other than an irritating stinging burning feeling the pain isn't that bad
  • I have one and I couldn't stop shaking ! It hurt less on my spine than it did on my sides ugh the fat and muscle hurt the worst to me . I have a tramp stamp btw lol.
  • Can I ask where u live? I've only heard of certain places doing water injections. Just curious lol
  • I have 2, one on my hip and one on my upper butt cheek. I thought they both hurt really bad but the one on my hip hurt worse.
  • @jazzi89 i live in australia... really want to find somebody that has had both...
  • My first tattoo was on my lower back it only hurt at the top of the star, my second was my right shoulder blade it only hurt cause the artist was a student and went way to hard, my third was on my butt and i laughed so hard cause I'm ticklish and my fourth my right ankle and i laughed hard there too and my fifth is my neck and the only painful was the shading. Tattoos feels like if you take a needle and scratch your skin with it but not hard. Its nothing like shots period. Its super addicting and exciting
