All my piercings hurt like HELL! LOL Tattoos depends - "hurt" is a bit of a subjective term, I think. My smaller ones didn't hurt at all, the one on my ankle hurt but only in certain spots and only really towards the end of 2 hours of going over the same areas over and over.
I love the tattoos on your feet, Shay! And I think it is so rad that you designed your own.

Lol I have 8 piercings, had 9, and none of them actually hurt. I was scared of the needle tho lol, actually all needles in general. But my piercer (who is a really good friend of mine) won't show me the needle cause he knows I'll freak out, same with tattoo needles lol. But anyway, none of them actually hurt, there was a sharp pinch but it was the clamps not the actual piercing.
As far as my tattoos some were more irritating than others but not any actual pain. My neck made my feet tingle (it goes right across my spine so I think that's why), my ribs tickled me the whole time (which is why half the lines are shaky lol), and my feet were good for the most part, except where it goes close to my toes and to the sides, those 2 spots were really irrtating but didn't hurt.
Getting the tattoos themselves didn't hurt at all, it was after when they started hurting. I hid my side from my mom for almost a year (I was only 17 when I did it, without her permission lol) and I sounded like a candy wrapper for 3 days, I had to keep plastic wrap on it to keep my clothes from rubbing it raw. But I think something hurting depends on where it is and your pain tolerence(sp?).

I love piercings despite the pain but I think I'm done with those, except for possibly a nose piercing. I have a couple now, not counting the 9 in my ears. And yes, my advice: Don't look at the needles ahead of times. I agree, too, the clamps might be worse than the needles. ;D With tattoos, I think they really start to hurt when the same spot is done over and over with color/shading, because at that point the skin is so raw.

Nose piercings can look very cute, I've had the right side of my nose done for over a year now lol. I want to do a couple more piercings but then I'm done with those since most jobs I can't have them in for now (I miss working for my mom lol she never cared what I had).
I think the Krash and Luca tattoos are going to be amazing, I definately wanna see pics of that!! I can't wait to get the rest of my tattoos lol. After talking about them with you guys so much I wanna do all my little furkids, only problem is money lol.
ME, I can't wait to see more of that tattoo... It looks like it's going to be a beautiful piece.

My ankle hasn't been all that itchy. There was about 24 hours that I wanted to rip my skin off, but that went away quick. It's almost fully healed. I know my back is going to suck. :-(

Itchy tattoos are no good lol my feet only itched for like an hour after I got them done. But now about a year later they itch more than ever.
I used A and D ointment on my tattoos, it's like diaper rash stuff.... that helped alot with the itching. Don't know if you can get it or not but it worked really good for me.

What Aveeno are you using, ME? I was peeling like crazy, just started Burt's Bees Carrot Lotion and that is really helping.
I was using some stuff I got from my guy at first, but only for the first three days.

i use Aveeno Daily moisterizing lotion with sunscreen spf 15, it works really good, mine havent peeled at all since using this. my instruction sheet i got from john said bacitracin or other stuff listed for 5 days, then on 5th day go to aveeno for 7 days . i have been following the instructions and no peeling at all, but then again it also says to do this 4x a day for each so i am keeping it totally lubed up.
