Awesome ink on both!

do those hurt?
It tickles. Some places it tickles more than others!
I'm not of the mindset like some, who actually say (or claim rather), that tattoos feel good. I have five, and not one of them felt good to get. On the other hand, they aren't unbearable IMO. The more sensitive parts of your person are obviously going to hurt worse than others.

Thanks
Compared to some of my other ones, it really just kinda tickled. I've got ink on some of the easiest places (thick skin, lots of muscle behind it), and on 3 out of the 4 places generally considered the worst.... and I'd put that one at 3 out of 10. I wouldn't even call the feeling from getting a tattoo 'pain'... its more like mild—severe discomfort.
I don't think they feel good, per say, but the feeling is definitely addictive. My understanding is that your brain blocks out the pain with endorphins, and that those chemicals are what feels good. After the first 5 min or so, I really don't mind the feeling. Except my spine, that one just plain sucked.
