Thinking About Getting A Tattoo? Find Out How Much It’ll Hurt With This New Tool.

Are you ready to get a tattoo?  Selection of the best one for you can be very easy.  One of my friends just had her mom's handwritten message "Love Always, Mom" done on her side.  It was what her and her three other siblings decided to do in remembrance of their parent.   The selection was made. Now, she had to find here cajones to get it done and fight through the unknown pain.

I went with her to watch her get the tattoo done.  Oh … I could see her going through pain.  Would I want to do that?  Of course the tattoo I wanted was much bigger and on a different part of the body.  So how much pain would I have compared to her selection, the size of hers, and the location?  Now there's a tool to help me see if I want the tattoo based on the level of pain I might experience.

TattooChief.com, a non-commercial tattoo community website, existing purely for the love of tattoos, recently launched a new platform, which they believe to be the World's first digital Tattoo Pain-O-Meter. After the first few days, thousands of tattoo lovers had already calculated and the results are amazing so far.  If you want to give the Pain-O-Meter a spin, feel free to do so here.

Taking a tattoo sure needs some determination. Will it hurt as much as you expected? Or less? Are you willing to admit it if? The point is to wear it proudly, because it's your body, and your tat, baby!
 
The Tattoo Chief team has created the World’s first smart tattoo pain calculator, an interactive tool that calculates the amount of pain one has to endure when getting a certain tattoo.  Developed with some expertise from experienced tattoo artists, Pain-O-Meter guides you through the most important steps of getting tattooed.
 
Select the size, placement and style of your future tattoo, add some info about what you endure from a bee sting to a small cut, and tada: there you get your full tattoo statistics!
 
What was the goal of making this Pain-O-Meter?  I do not think it was to scare people off from tattoos.  Ryan from TattooChief.com elaborated …
 
It is a hilarious test to go through even if you already have a couple of sexy inkings, to see what if it was that bad or not. 
 
Of course the main aim was to add something to the unique experience of getting inked, regardless the pain, and provide a fun tool to share your impressions.
 
It is no secret that another goal of the Pain-O-Meter is to raise awareness: you need to be prepared before getting tattooed. Don't be on funny pills, and consider the body part carefully!
 
So, what is YOUR score?  I clocked in at 74 / 100.  OUCH!!!  I'm still gonna do it!
 
And for those of you that have already gone under the needle,  do the results of your Pain-O-Meter match your experience?  Let us know!
