Hello Maria!

First your English is very good, I wish I could speak a second language so well.

I have a tattoo on my forearm done in 1982. I had no reaction to the procedure as far as I can remember.

The only thing that occurs to me is that if you are nervous, and it does hurt by the way, then your muscles may tense more and this could increase the level of pain you feel. The needle does not enter the muscle, it is too short, but there is a vibration that can be uncomfortable.

Hope you have a good design chosen?

I have multiple tattoos and never had any bad reaction. I must warn you that they are addicting. Once you get one you will want another.

Hi, Eric!
Yes, i've heard that it's addictive thing :D But i've also heard it about piercings. And still- i've only got 2 piercings from long time ago and i'm not planning to have other in the nearest future. Another thing about tattoos- they are pretty expensive, so this aspect will keep me in hand :D

Thank you, Peter, for compliment :). I'm not afraid of pain. Pain will come and go away. I'm a tough girl. :)
I really like design i've chosen. It is text mixed with a drawing. Drawing shows my favourite nickname i have from chilhood and text is about courage. I hope it will inspire me my whole life. :) And thank you for sharing your experience. I feel relief knowing that our condition does not forbid us to make art on body ;)

Hi Maria, I also have a few Tattoos. Never any problems. I LOVE my tats! And, I do have to agree with Eric. They're very addictive. Have fun and just take normal precautions. Keep them out of the sun while they heal...be smart. Relax as much as you can while it's being done. And take the time to find an exceptionally great tattoo artist.
