First Tattoo!

Katie
So in a few weeks, (after I donate blood for Warped Tour) in going to get my first tattoo! 
I'm planning on a Ouijia Board Plancette, surrounded by some lupine stalks, and with the words "there's more to life than chasing ghosts" (it's a quote from the song "The beach is for lovers not lonely losers" by Neck Deep. (They're my favorite band and have helped me through so much, it almost seems wrong NOT to get their lyrics on my body.) 
So anyways, could anyone tell me about what to expect while I'm getting it? As far as pain, how to deal with it, things to take your mind off the pain, and etc. thanks!
