Interesting, my father and clan are all Cherokee/Scotch cross and were, are from Kentucky/WestVirginia,, you hail from that region?
Well so far the level 10 pain has been:
Around my nipple (that's as exotic as it gets lol)
Anything without "meat", elbow, wrist, inner elbow, collar bone and finger all hurt the worst.
Long straight lines hurt more to me then shading or color although if they spend a lot of time in one place it can get real raw.
They have great (so I hear) creams out that are basically a topical anesthetic and I hear it greatly reduces the pain. I'm only doing this once per body part so I figure the pain is just a part of the process and memory.
Some sessions are so painful they seem to take forever and others could go on and on and it wouldn't bother me too much.
I will say this, purposefully sitting and Recieving that level of pain without moving and then going back for more has changed my outlook on pain all together. I thought and have been told I have an abnormally high threshold for pain but if 10 was the worst I've had from ink then I had only hit a 7-8 before, and that was going down on the pavement with a motorcycle.
The endophins and adrenaline that hit you all at once is one of the best rushes I've ever had in my life of thrill seeking though.
IF anyone's ever curious, you can get "needled" without ink so you can feel what it is like without having a permemant momento.
Tattoos , it seems to me are a personal form of expression.
If you like them , then get one , if not then then don't.
I do think that having a tattoo can affect your social interactions or job outlook, due to peoples perceptions or notions about tattoos.
Like anything else , feel free to do it , just be prepared for both reactions good or bad.
I like the long , worldwide history of tattoo art.
All that said , I may be talking out of my A** , 'cause I do not have any tattoos LOL.

Worst part for me was the shin. The artist had to adjust the needle depth after his first couple of passes. He said when I die and decompose I could very well have ink in my shin bone. Other than that I compare the feeling to a tiny cheese grater being dragged continuously along one spot at a time.
I can only say, in today's world, it seems like not having tattoos is the new tattoo. However, with all the stupid discrimination law out there, I find it entertaining when you see some guy or gal with face tattoos suing because they were not hired on tv.
I was thinking something' more like this...since I like catsYou KNOW want a dollar bill just below your navel.... go on, DO IT!
Lets give tattoo's there real weight.
How many commitments in your life will make an impact for more than five years?
Basically the length of time it takes to pay off a car.
Marriage/kids?
A house payment?
You will be held accountable for those tattoos the rest of your life.
So choose wisely. And consider the weight of that choice.
Now for contrast. Here are some commitments that were five years or less.
My time in the Army.
My years in high school.
The twelve or so new cars I bought.
All the girls I dated but didn't marry. [And One I did.]
Several great jobs.
Cancer and five years follow up.
The list goes on and on.
But your Tattoo trumps them all.
Years ago, my sister got several stars and the planet Venus tattooed on her lower back. I thought it was pretty tacky at the time, but she was smug about why she did it so I let up on her.
Now (Many years later), I asked her about the tattoos and whether she had any regrets. "No.", she said. The art work was something she still liked.
So I asked her...
"After 30 years, are the stars still next to Venus or are they now circling Uranus?"
