sherrilyn kenyon book awesome, dark hunter.

I'm reading born of fire.

Where are you getting it?
I only have a small piercing on my nose, and it was my first pain.

Onyx, I know I'm going to sound old here.  Heck, compared to you I am old but if you're going to get a tattoo please put it somewhere you can easily cover up.  As you said about the nose ring, it can effect the type of job you are able to have.  Plus, be selective in what you get.  What you like now can change in five years or so.  I know, I know I sound like a nag but I have friends who now regret their earlier choices with the ink.

I know i have to hide it, just like my piercing.

it well lol

I have a tattoo on my left shoulder. I got it my 16th year. I told my mother that I wanted one, and she told me to really think about it for three months. If I still wanted one, she would take me. In July, we each got one. She got two butterflies on her left shoulder. My tattoo is a black wolf howling at the setting sun while on a rock. I still like it. I didn't think it hurt too much, but the closer he got to my neck, a little pain I felt. The color hurt more than the outline.

Wolves don't howl at the sun... at least, not that I was ever taught.  Wolves and Coyotes howl at the moon.

I was also told by a few nurses that they won't give Epidurals to pergnant women who have the tatoo that's on their lower back (I won't say the tat's given name here).

I won't really get a tatoo for personal reasons.  If I do, it'll be the Star of David on one earlobe and the cross on the other.  When I was younger I wanted the shadowed outline of a cat sitting on a bullet on my ankle.  After dealing with the police over a stupid incident and having a file made to my name, I was pleased I never got it.  If you ever get in trouble with the cops and you have a mark somewhere on your body, it looks VERY bad and looked down upon very much.  I also refuse to really get a tatoo because I think my body is a beautiful work of art in God's creation and I don't want to ruin it with anything that shouldn't be there.  Plus, when I get older and gain weight, no matter where that tattoo is placed, it'll be bad to look back upon.  It'll be ugly, faded, wrinkled or stretched, and most of the time it's meaning is lost on people.  Also, since I have a tendancy to hide from people and I'm good at it, if I'm marked somewhere visible, that alerts whoever is looking for me.

Also on a side note, depending on your tattoo, you endanger your safety.  If you have a tattoo of a tribal sign and you happen across a ghetto neighborhood filled with gangs, you risk being mugged or even killed.  If a Russian sees you with two stars on your pecs you can be killed because it's a Russian mafia sign (and we laugh at people on MMA shows that have one).  If you have a spiderweb on your elbow, you're related to one of the big gangs (I just forget which ones).  People get a tattoo without really looking into it, thinking it's just something cool.  They may not realize the "teardrop" beneath the eye means they've done time for killing somebody or the "three dots" beneath their eye says they're either crazy mofo's or in a gang.

Sorry... I ranted...
