Maybe you're nervous because it's going to hurt like a bitch ... maybe. What's very sensitive on one person may not hurt bad on someone else. As my artist always says, just because it hurts is no reason not to get tattooed.
Thank you so much for clarifying Dan. I had thought the same and the artist had also said so, but some friends started pointing out that it's been done the wrong way and so got a bit confused. Much relieved now :)
