In all honesty, Ive never been through a more painful experience than having my ribs and sternum inked. The needle on bone made my entire body clench and i was unable to even breathe. And i have a high pain tolorance too. Ive been in several car accedents, broken arms, legs, ankles, nose, 3 concusions, countless stitches, ripped the corner of my lip an inch back my cheek, 3rd degree burns on my calf. I found it rather unbearable, but was able to finish with sounding like this big baby. Holy drama queen. I barely felt anything on my biceps.
