Hi Lisa I have a tattoo on my abdomen - and have to admit - yes it hurt - but the tattooist told me it was one of the worse places to have done. A misconception that being a 'fleshy' area it wouldn't hurt lol - oh and it took 45 mins in all. Had my belly button pierced about 8 years ago - didn't feel a thing !!!!!!!! They clamp it length ways - what they did after that I have no idea I was too scared to look LOL - but it was over and done before I realised :O)) It will be sore initially - bending over - waistbands etc may cause discomfort. However - be warned - it can take anything up to 12 months to heal entirely !!!!! As a friend thankfully warned me !! Mine was ticking along nicely after about 10 months when suddenly it became really septic. It was so bad I wore a cotton wool pad taped over it for two weeks with antiseptic cream squeezed into the belly button. I seriously was on the verge of giving up and removing it - then lo and behold - it just cleared up suddenly, and has been fine ever since :O))))

Hi Lisa Had 2 tattoo's but can't find my belly button to have it pierced lol Helen

i had a tatoo last year, and would have another tomorrow, but its whether to have it on my other shoulder or lower back i had a little angel , hes about 2inches tall, id now like a picture i have in my room, its an angel/fairy, but id like to get it priced first, it didnt hurt, just felt the pressure of him leaning on my back, and i think thats down to the FM i suffer, after 2 days that eased, but id have it again,

Old Codger Question? Why, if you manage to lose 3 stone and become a really slim young lady, would you want to piece your body and decorate your skin with a tattoo? surely that's not a reward to yourself for the sacrifices you will have made whilst on your diet? it must be a punishment? Jacqui (with pierced ears and that's all!)

I have one and would have another I found it was a nice sort of discomfort. xxhugxx

here here julie.god aren't men hopeless!Lolxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx((((((((:

Paul all i can say is thank god its not down to the men to have the children we would have been extinct along time ago.LOL

thanks becs i will need it...thanks paul...do you have any tattoos being in the army you must havexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(((((:

yep, fair one julie. mind you, i did have a particularly nasty paper cut the other day. now THAT hurt! lol! to be perfectly honest lisa, as you said yourself, you have given birth. i think we can safely say a little tatt aint nuffin! lol! xx

Paul Have a tattoo don't hurt half as much as having a baby.

I shouldn't think the belly button hurts too much. I was petrified before I had my tongue done the first time (kept thinking of how much it hurt when I accidently bit my tongue) but it wasn't half as bad! Good Luck!

paul lol you sound like my hubby. he always says that anyone who says a tatt doesnt hurt is lying!!! lol susie

if i can give birth than yes....hopefully have it done before i go on my hols this yearxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx((((((:

course it will hurt! all tatoos hurt - fact! its whether you can take the pain that counts. so can ya? hmm? well?

yep there.would love to have the tattoo that the lady in justin timberlakes cry me a river video.looks goodxxxxxxxx(((((:

joy thats where ive got mine. and i agree ,it was only the outline that hurt. susie

Lisa When i have tops of ears done (20 years ago) they hurt alot more the having my bellybutton done. Where you want your tattoo is where i am gonna have mine done.

Lisa My sister had one there and said it hurts quite alot cos there's no fat to cushion it!

Had a rather large tattoo done for Valentine's Day last year. It's on my left shoulder and the bit that hurt the most was the outline. I hardly felt the shading. I want my belly button done but OH says her won't come near me if I do. Joy

Lisa when you say at the bottom of your back do you mean in the centre or to one side of the spine
