Make sure you eat something before-hand. Don't drink alcohol before-hand. Be well-rested before-hand. Give yourself a hand-before to relax you if you're very nervous.
You'll be fine. Just do what the artist asks you to do, relax, enjoy the experience and look forward to the hopefully awesome piece of art you'll be sporting afterwards  |

Thanks for the tips. I'm having the tattoo on my boob and this might be a really stupid question but will I have to have my boob on full show for the duration or will it be a little more discreet ? |

You'll need to at least show as much of it as is needed for the tattoo, obviously. How much else needs to be shown depends on the artist. If they feel your clothing is going to get in the way (which is very much possible), then they might well want you to completely expose it. But as Kinky Minx said, they will have seen it all before. Their priority is the artistry and delivery of an absolutely solid tattoo for you. They won't care about your tits being on show.
You may get people coming into the shop to check it out, or talk with the artists, or get tattoos themselves. They may see you. Be prepared for that possibility - it may not happen, though. If you're very concerned, bring it up with the artist. If they're worth their salt, they'll be willing to help you out with the privacy you want. |

I've no idea but I do know those people have seen it all before "
they will cover as much as possible - especially your nipples if they are professional |

Remember to breathe. Don't feel pressured into getting it done. You can change tattoo artist if you don't feel comfortable. Mine was done by an American who went too deep. His girlfriend took over and did the colouring in with a woman's touch. |

"I have no tattoos, so no frame of reference
Thanks for the input.
I could wax lyrical on the dos and don'ts of tattooing, the pitfalls and pratfalls therein...
But it's not my thread to fuck"
If I was going to get a tattoo I'd design it myself.
I once did a full back henna tattoo of a curled dragon on a woman's back, if that helps... But I personally wouldn't commit to something visually defining me for the rest of my life like that.
Choose carefully.

Meh, it's only skin, and life is finite.
I couldn;t design my own tatt because I suck at art, so I admire (maybe more than I should) people who are creative in that way. |

"So this week is my countdown to my very first tattoo. Very nervous as I don't have a very high pain threshold! Any tips for me 
Kinky "
All the advice in the world won't help if you have a low pain threshold. If you're unsure whether you can cope with the pain
some artists will tattoo a small area with no ink in the gun to give the sitter the opportunity to change their mind before being inked. You should be fine on your boob. Whatever anyone says about it not hurting won't be relevant to you. Under my armpit hurt like fuck.Where as I fell asleep when my back was done. |

Good luck.
I have spent the afternoon designing a new 'Hotwife' tattoo for Tina at her request, looking good so far & look forward to seeing the final result on her upper back. Lucky for Tina she has a high pain threshold so never a problem. |
