Foot tattoos: Fresh cherry blossoms

My first (and most likely LAST) tattoo.,
originally uploaded by crazy sunshine.

This is a beautiful, and extremely recent, foot tattoo. I like this one quite a bit -- it's a very nice, delicate design.

People say that foot tattoos hurt more than most tattoos. I think this is absolutely true -- there's not a lot of fat there, and fat is what cushions the needle and keeps it from hurting too much. Not to mention the extremely dense ennervation down in the feet.

But really, is that a big consideration when you're getting a tattoo? It's something you're going to have for the rest of your life -- what's a few hours of pain, in the grand scheme of things, when you wind up with a freakin' sweet tattoo?
