I'm older, "been there... done that"!!! I have four tats that I started getting many, many years ago. I don't know how old you are, but make VERY sure that YOU want a tattoo because you've alway wanted one. Not for anyone else. If you take care of your tats properly, they will look just as good in 10 years or so. My first tat is now 23 years old. No wrinkles or sags affect my tats.
If you do decide that you still want to go through with it, here's some good info...
Yes, it hurts and the pain you tolerate is traditionally significant to the experience as you "earning" the right to have the ink. Now people want the art without the pain and a lot of artists offer xylocaine creams during your tattoo that will numb your skin.
I have heard from artists that the back kidney area is the most tender spot. (I would have thought the ankle)
The F.D.A. determines the rules of giving blood, so you can give blood in ANY state after six months have passed (unless the FDA has changed that recently).
I have never had any problems having any medical procedure or test because of one of my tattoos.
I do not regret my tats. I love them because I did for me and me only. Most people have never even seen any of them because of clothing. It looks great when you want to show them off at a club or on the beach, etc. (just don't let the sun fade it out... use high SPF sunscreen)
So go ahead and do it, if it's something you've always wanted. I am definitely pro-ink! Oh yea... before I got my first, I did a "test run" with a good quality fake tattoo that lasted over a week. I loved it every minute of every day, so I then knew I wanted the real thing.
