you have to be 18 here in aus to get one... i have 4, two at the bottom of my back which now look like one, its says Gemini for my star sign and now has a row of stars, a big rose on the side of my right leg below the knee with my anniversary date through it and one on the top of my left foot that says "own the day" - which is pretty much explains itself - i wouldnt say any of mine hurt as such, they are are little tender whilst getting them, some places gave more of a twinge but i guess its up to the individual person - i know alot of people that swear never to get the foot again, however im planning my 5th on the right foot..
