Tattoo you!...
Five Painful Places to Get a Tattoo
...tattoo artists often avoid numbing creams because they require 20 minutes or so to take effect and can prolong the procedure...
...a short list of the most potentially painful places for body ink:
1. The eyeball...some people do get permanent makeup inside the eye...
2. The mons pubis....a tattoo down under...
3. The top of the foot or ankle.
4. Behind the ear...nothing in this spot but skin and bone—and nerves...
5. The chest (above your rib cage)...
...Don't take aspirin before getting a tattoo, as it can increase bleeding (though other pain-killing pills can help)...
...Another option: a black henna tattoo painted on the outer layer of the skin...As the skin exfoliates, this kind of tattoo slowly disappears...

Why read "the paper"?...
The Arizona Daily Star has a service where they can send text messages of news bulletins and headlines. I just received one: Angelina Jolie doesn't know how to turn-on a computer...
