I'm guessing since this is a self harm website that you've cut yourself before. A tattoo feels like lightly being cut in the same spot over and over. A kind of deep scratchy feeling.

It's painful but not unbearably so.

This is exactly how I would describe it! Although I have a lot of color and shading on mine and the shading was very very painful for me. I think because it was such a big tattoo it initially didn't hurt but as it continued it got worse. Bearable though and worth it.

Mine is on my lower leg.
