    Quick update

    I was semi brave and didn't use the lidocaine. Instead I took 2 paracetamol and 2 ibuprofen an hour before the tattoo. It if worked then I'm glad I took them, because it hurt so bad I thought I was going to be sick, or cry, or both I'm such a wuss! Looks gorgeous though, here is a photo (please try and see past the redness and the fact it is covered in bepanthen) http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...49921848_n.jpg

    My tattooist says I was right not to use the lidocaine though, because it wears off pretty quick and the pain comes back without the benefit of any endorphins to dull it and is often a lot worse as a result.

    It's gorgeous! It's in a similar spot to mine and IKWYM about the pain.

    Well it was bad, but survivable! Outside of foot would (I imagine) not be quite as sore as the top of the foot because there's a bit more padding there. What are you getting written?
