I got Gavin's chinese name tattooed on my heart/chest. It is not the standard Classic, Pictorial, or Cursive style of chinese character (like an English font or typeface), but Traditional style.
These were taken with my cheap camera phone. Getting a tattoo felt like being branded (like an animal). Or a girl with long fingernails is scratching your skin for 35 minutes non-stop (not comfortable).
The tattoo needle works like a sewing machine needle, puncturing the surface of the skin/fabric at a really fast rate, but releasing a drop of ink with each hole instead of weaving a thread.
