<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Being tattooed does NOT feel like it's done with a needle, because it moves so fast it works more like a knife and that's the way it feels too. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Haha! True, it does feel like someone slicing through your flesh. I'm sure all the needlephobes are very much at ease now! <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> as soon as they invent a way of doing tattoos without needles, ill b there! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> It's already been done. Most traditional tattoos (e.g. Maori, Malay) involve tapping on a sharpened piece of bone. A procedure that would soon have you screaming, "BRING OUT THE NEEDLE!!!"The pain of getting a tattoo is greatly overexaggerated, though.
