Don't be afraid..don't worry if it's going to hurt,or how much it's going to hurt.My 15 year old blessing of a daughter got a start on her first a few weeks ago.I'm fairly heavily tattooed on both my arms..and talked to her about it a few times before the day.She's an angel,always at home every night,not running around the streets at night like others her own age.I kept telling her..your not going to die,your not going to bleed to death...and don't cry.I took time off for the event as i wasn't missing it for nothing.It's big and i think you should have a plan right from the start..not like me,here and there..go big or go home.She toughed it out..5 needle outline,and a bit of black shading,the colors going in,in a few weeks.And not one tear

ribs are hardcore !! and the last flower is close to the groin,made me shudder..
