I'm thinking about doing a tatoo in the middle of my back and ocured me... isn't that kinda risky to get needled so many times near your spinal cord!? i'm a pretty skinny guy lol. and i don't wanna get paralized because of something like that...
anybody knows if there are risky places to get tatoos?

Theres no risk of spinal injury, the ink only gets put in about a sixteenth of an inch belows the surface of the skin.

The needle is only going to enter your body at 1/16th of an inch. Seriously, take a look at a ruler and see how small that is. You don't have to worry about becoming paralyzed or whatsoever. Your spine is ALOT deeper in your body than that...even if you are skinnier.
If that's where you really want to get your tattoo, then it's all you...

they couldnt put the needle in your spine even if they wanted to. I asked when i had the back of my neck done.
Dont worry about it at all. You are expecting alot more pain then he will be able to give you, you wont end up deformed, and you will be able to walk when he is done. Unless your legs go to sleep or something.
My hand went to sleep when i was having my back worked on, It buged me more then the tattoo did.

the needles do not penetrate into your spinal column or even to the bone in your spine. the tattoo goes only into the second layer of skin and no further. tons of people have tattoos all over their backs including on their spines (see my profile picture) i am fine and you will be too.

You'll be fine.
It might be a bit uncomfortable, but the needle doesn't go that deep.
Trust me, I'm skinny and I got a tattoo all the way down my spine.

I have a tattoo in the middle of my back, and Im just fine...lol... it does hurt a bit, but its not totally excruciating pain, my wrists hurt really bad, basically anywhere the skin is tender it will hurt really bad, like the feet, wrists, neck etc....dont worry the only risk is squealing in pain, hehe, and regretting your tattoo, otherwise you'll be fine :)
