Forum Discussion - What Did Getting a Tattoo Feel Like to You?

perfectlypierced writes: "I just wanted to know what [getting a tattoo] felt like (for all you tatted people). I heard from friends and family that it feels like a needle being dragged across you skin. (Which is understandable because needles are involved). I've also heard that it felt like a finger nail being dragged or a hot friction....Anyone care to share?

How about you? Did it hurt? Did it tickle? Somewhere in between? Share your thoughts and comments on the discussion board.
