There is nothing whimpy 'bout having a little anxiety on something that you have never done, Now on the other hand if you let your anxiety talk you out of getting it done than that is whimpy!!
Don't worry too much, some times it tickles sometimes it hurts, but for the most part it is numb. Sometimes once all the outlining is done and they go back with the shader It can feel a little aggressive, just keep breathing and eventually it'll start to numb again, however if you take to many breaks during this part, it won't numb.
All in all I think you'll do fine. And as far as your mom gettin you some crazy gift, return it, get the ca$h, add to the ink.
You have a seriously sexy profile, And I love your B&W's. I look forward to seein more of you around
The moment before the needle hit my skin I realized suddenly and fully what I was about to have done, and that it was going to hurt. Fortunately, the pain sidelined my philosophizing.
If you get it somewhere you're ticklish it will hurt. A lot. Enjoy!
