If your like a lot of us out there you will get through it...I've sat on a stool for 5 hours with no breaks to get a tattoo on my lower back (I have back problems) that was pain not the tat but the sitting. You'll be OK then you'll want more.

Basic Guidelines for Getting a Tattoo
The last ten years have seen an educational renaissance within the tattoo industry. Artists have become increasingly aware of the potential risks associated with bloodborne pathogens and have taken steps to protect their clients and themselves. With just a little education and some research, you can assure yourself of a safe, professional tattoo
~Getting your first tattoo can be a very exciting experience and being prepared for what to expect can keep it fun. First, you should be well rested and well fed. If you are tired, or your blood sugar is low, you may experience a higher level of discomfort than you normally would. Drinking alcohol before getting tattooed is always a bad idea. Not only do you become dehydrated, it will also cause you to bleed more and consequently have a negative effect on your new tattoo.
There will be blood. The amount varies from person to person, but usually it is about what you would expect from a scraped knee or rug burn. The level of pain also varies from person to person, but most people don't find it unbearable. The best thing to do is just accept the discomfort and relax. Fighting or tensing will only increase your discomfort.
If you start to feel faint or a little "green," tell your artist right away instead of toughing it out. There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking a break. Your artist is prepared for this sort of thing and knows how to handle it.
If you need to change position or stretch, go to the bathroom, sneeze or wiggle for any reason, let your artist know BEFORE you do it.
Your new tattoo will get a patch of shiny skin over it or it may scab over. Leave the scab alone!~ This is a normal part of the healing process. Picking the scab may lead to infection or damage to your tattoo. The scab will slough off gradually in the course of a week or two. If you have any questions during the healing process, call your artist. Don't rely on stories told to you by your friends

It will feel like a constant prick being done over and over again on that area. Just try and relax perhap listen to some music or play a game on your cell phone/game boy while it is being done, eat a good meal before going into the parlor if you do not eat a hearty meal chances are the pain will feel worse and you will become sick to your stomache. The pain isn't so bad just more of an irritance.

Sounds like a nice tattoo. Just above the ankle isn't to bad, so I've heard. I hope not because that's where my next one is going lol..There's more muscle so it shouldn't hurt as bad as the bone and nerves like on the ankle and spine.
Hope this helps and happy tattooing!

We all have different thresholds of pain. I personally couldn't stand the pain of the needle and I am insulin dependent diabetic. You, however, might be be just fine, depending on how relaxed you are prior to the tatt and how tolerant you are.
I wish you luck and no tears. Make sure you use a reputable shop, dear one. Also, take someone with you for moral support and maybe a little toddy before the visit.

Sorry to mention it, however a tattoo in your hip bone WILL harm.Generally the extra flesh there may be, there much less it is going to harm and straight onto your hip may not be high-quality. From your different query I collect that it is going to be script, so the soreness cannot final lengthy in any respect - possibly five - 10 mins after which it is going to be over. Good success!

I got a little tattoo on my lower stomach, and I'm not gonna lie it did hurt but after a while you get used to it and it feels like burning, it's not too bad.

Due to place you are getting it, it will hurt more than other places. The pain does goes away quickly, like a few hours. Unless you have a low tolerance for pain, it should be bearable, and I think it is worth it.
