I can't stand Aubrey, it's time to let her go. I LOVE, LOVE Dan! I love watching everyone get tattoos, it makes me ready for another one.

I have no tattoos. I hate pain and dread the thought of pain to the point of fainting sometimes. I don't understand why no one on that show ever seems to be in pain while getting a tattoo. Why is that?

Well, Kat has stated a lot that she hates getting tattoos and used to have to get stinking drunk before she got a new one...and at times they show people who really experience pain during the process...especially if it is over a bony portion of their anatomy (ribs for instance). And at other times I have heard people say the longer you sit the more painful it gets...kind of like that annoying twitch that keeps twitching and after about an hour (or 3 or 5) is very painful... But I agree. I don't have any tattoos, don't want any and shudder at the thought...not a judgment on tattoos by the way, just a personal choice. I think they can be very beautiful and I marvel at the art that can be created on a person's skin.

I have 5 and though some people say it hurts I didn't think anything of it..I felt like I was being pinched over and over and it wasn't all that. I also have 2 tattoos in 2 very 'sensitive' spots. Back of my neck and wrist.

I want a tatoo of my children's names. I haven't watched the new shows but I like to watch Kat and others at work!

Thanks Rox and Angel. I guess I haven't seen any of the shows where they are in pain...or I am just not paying very close attention. I don't know if I will continue to watch once Aubrey is gone. (hopefully soon!)

I wish they did cosmetic tattooing. I've been toying with the idea of getting my eyebrows done for years, but I am petrified of pain and possible allergic reactions.

I wish they would get rid of Aubrey already.. every week my daughter and I hope she gets fired, but no.. maybe the season finale.. I have about 16 tattoos and none of them hurt.. I actually enjoy getting them and am getting another one done soon, plus I am currently getting maintenance stuff done on some.. I know of tattooists who do cosmetic stuff like eyebrows.. costs about 150 each one..

I think it is probably all a matter of each individual's pain threshhold...and the skill of the artist doing the ink.

Aussiedeb, years ago as a writer I covered the North American Tatooing Association at their annual convention, in Vegas, and I met some amazingly talented cosmetic tatooists, but I was too chicken then, and didn't take advantage of it. Duh!

Of course not.. we had Corey talking with Kat about how Aubrey screwed up.. then Aubrey walks thru the back door and Corey dramatically states that it is her shop, but he will not work with that "thing" anymore. It was Kats choice.. then the show ended.

Aubrey doesn't seem to be a good fit for the shop, but she isn't helping her case by taking off so many days--especially without clearing it with Kat first. I didn't expect her to stay on at L.A. Ink. Even Kat's negativism towards Aubrey is sometimes surprising. Maybe the network wants Aubrey to stay on. How else would the show have any conflict? Wonder, IF that's the case, if anyone has clued in poor Aubrey. She seems genuinely hurt by the meanness of her coworkers.

Isn't poor Aubrey a reality show regular? I don't feel sorry for her. If she is a plant by the producers (which I think is the case) then she's playing it up for all it's worth. If she's truly as clueless as she appears to be then she won't know the difference anyway. But watching the others treat her so shabbily doesn't speak well for them. If that's what it takes to keep this show on the air then they need to close up shop.

I still can't get over the fact that Aubrey thought she should be part of the mural. lol

Angelic - no kidding, considering there are 17 employees there. Roxip - Aubrey was on Rock of Love

Considering that the long suffering manager who taught Aubrey her job (among others) wasn't in the mural why on earth would Aubrey be included. I think Kat is an extremely talented individual but, but not such a great boss. She tends to be quite forgiving of people and lets them walk over her (Pixie, now Aubrey) but when you are the boss and that person is also affecting the entire organization, you have to cut out the cancer. She took too long with Pixie, but at least Pixie had been a friend of several of them for a long time. Aubrey, not so much. I also was totally convinced that my recording had cut off, or the show ran beyond the scheduled time, so I re-recorded and set it to run six minutes long but it still ended abruptly. Yet I swear in a preview there was other footage where Corey said more and left. === Mame, well, now we know that Michael Jackson had tattooed eyebrows, eyeliner and lips.. maybe you could find out where he went?

It totally depends on where you get the tat and what your body composition is like. My tramp stamp hurt like an SOB, mostly because there was no fat between where the ink was going in and the nerves there. My upper back one hurt while he was actually tatting me, but it's a pretty big tat (although thankfully, Rob did a phenomenal job and it only took two hours to do). Once he was done, I just popped up and I was fine. I'm not a big one for pain, but I really wanted this tat, and I let him design most of it in size and color. And it really only hurts while the needles are there. When he'd stop to re-ink, I'd lift my head and we'd joke. Then he'd start to lean on me again, and my head would be down. The thing is, you've just gotta be absolutely still. And that is the hardest thing for me cuz I'm such a wiggle worm. And this last tat has a LOT of straight linework, so no way was I gonna move even a teensy fraction! Certain areas of the body, such as arms, aren't as painful as, say ankles. Rob said even the upper back is more sensitive than arms, although again he said it had much to do with my being thin. As if!

Well, Costa, you certainly aren't hauling around lots of fat.. I assume that is why they get them to talk, tell their story, because it helps them to not concentrate so much on whatever pain/discomfort there is.

If and that's a big IF, I get it done, it will be a cosmetic tattoo of eyebrows on my browbone as my eyebrows have been plucked into infinity and are patchy and sparce and I can't walk out the door without penciling them in and I do a LOUSY job of it. I've never had a tat, am concerned about the pain having heard that it's especially painful over a boney area. Plus I'm concerned about possible allergic reactions, and hygiene/sterilization/cleanliness.

If you go to a reputable place, you don't need to worry about cleanliness. Check out the tat parlor or facialist before you go. Both tat parlors I went to were spotless. And I watched them pull out new needles and all. That's the least of my worries with a tat. I'm more worried about the artist. The guy who did my back is an awesome colorist! See www.robbenevides.com. His color work and line work were the reasons I decided to check him out. When I met him, I liked him, too! He was a kick to sit with for hours.

I only knew one person who got the tattooed eyeliner and there was a a problem that it ended up crooked or with a gap, almost like there was a notch in her eyelid edge! And she went to a doctor who worked on eyes all the time, lasik surgery and such and did the tattooing. Costa, I can't find that artist at all, and not at that link.
