it doesn't hurt as much as chronic pain does, that is for sure. What is the deal with tats and kids? Don't make the connection unless you are pregnant while getting one.

I just wanted to make sure I got something meaningful, that is all, and I didn't want it stretched out by pregnancy.

Yes I did get one while I had the chronic pain. I had one done on my forearm and it wraps around the arm and is pretty big. I didn't hurt any more than the one on my shoulder did and that wasn't very much. It actually releived a lot of the pain for me. It was a centralized stinging sensation that goes numb quickly. When you go over bone it hurts alittle more but not too bad.

I had a tat with chronic pain covers most of my shoulder didn't hurt one bit but be ware it mind not turn out like you planed i got a beutiful butterfly on my arm went to my best buddies house and he promptly pointed out that i had a butterfly with a giant cock on my arm i went to have it fixed and now have an even bigger cock on my arm but i have a great since of the humur so i figure i might as well be proud of it still intend to get many more tatoos maybe these will be rated g

Zazasgranny's right x It sure doesn't hurt as bad as the everyday pain x I wont lie n say it doesn't hurt at all cos it does but It's not as bad as most people think x I have 6 x all done since I've had chronic pain x The hardest one was on a wrap around band on my arm x I sleep on my side so that was particularly uncomfortable x It really depends on where you plan on having it done (as some places hurt more than others) and what causes your chronic pain x Taking your pain meds before you go certainly helps x your less focused on the chronic pain then x Hope this helps a little x
