To tattoo or not to tattoo

I haven't watched reality television in a long time. I used to love watching Miami Ink on TLC. Ooh that Ami James is a lovely, lovely man.
Now there's a new show NY Ink. And I'm watching the first episode. I can't be bothered with the drama that's created with all the "characters" on the show, but I do like all the tattooing that they actually do.

I've been thinking about getting a tattoo. Not because of watching these shows, but for other reasons. I've been thinking about it for about 4 years now. Still not sure though - I'm still coming to terms with how much it's going to hurt, the fact it'll still be there when I'm 80, the pain...

I could apply to get it done on the show actually. And I think I would die if Ami was the one to do the tattoo. But he is one of the best and it would be in NYC, so that wouldn't be so bad!

What would you do, mes amies? Lil ol Mimi here, low tolerance for pain, a bit of a commitment-phobe...would you do it? (And no, it's not a butterfly on my stomach, or a dolphin on my ankle, or a Celtic knot on my lower back, or the Chinese character for Love on my shoulder! Please!)
