Queston About Getting A Tattoo?

Ignore people when they say something about what symbol it is for one...i have chinese symbols and people always give me crap about them, saying stuff like, oh are you sure it says that? like obviously or i wouldn't have gotten it...anyways, it depends on how high of tolerance of pain you have. I have a lot of tattoos and none of them really "hurt" but some of my friends say they hurt like crazy.
