IMGONNABE 40! and Magix-
I'll try and answer some ???'s. I got my tatoo on my ankle just above the bone and yes it hurt. However, it didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. It kind of depends on the design as to how much it hurts. When they drew the outline it hurt less than the coloring in. However, after awhile it kind of goes numb and doesn't hurt as much. As far as cost , it will depend on the size and how much detail and color there is in the design. It will also depend on the place you are having it done at. My tatoo is a 1.5x1.5 dolphin and cost $50.00. One of my friend has a Bucky Badger( Wisconsin mascot) that's about 2.5x2.5 and cost 200.00. His has more detail and color and he went to a different place. As far as picking a place to have your tatoo done, I would ask anyone you know who has a tatoo that you like where they got it done. Also, most state require a license for tatoo parlors. Check with the place you are thinking about getting done and see if they are licensed. Hope this helps.
