My First Tattoo

While kicking back one night, with nothing better to do; 
I started to wonder how it would feel, to get my first tattoo? 
I asked my friend how it would feel, and he answered me without a doubt; 
If you really want to know how it feels, kick back and lets find out. 
Its really not as painful, as you may think it will be; 
Its really quite exzillerating, as you are about to see. 
He put his tattoo gun together, it started with a purr; 
He said that it might sting at first, do my best not to stir. 
He dipped his needle into the ink, and was ready to lay the first line; 
When he said 'I don't want to hear you snivel, not even a little whine'. 
And so we began the first of many, long and teadeous days; 
Putting me through sheer torture, in many different ways. 
We started with my side and worked all night, until we reached my chest; 
Thats when he said if the pains too much, we need not do the rest. 
If you stop and look for a minute, you will surely see; 
I can deal with the pain, when it comes to tattooing me.
