Im getting a tattoo and im curious if it hurts as bad (or as little) as people say it...

it all depends on your pain threshold and where you get the tattoo if its on your neck or your back or somewhere directy on a bone with not much skin and fat surrounding it it'll probably hurt more
 
Some parts of the body hurt more then others and some people are more sensitive to pain the others.

I recently got my first tattoo (a pentagram on my right arm) and fount it to be quite painful (still worth it IMO.) others I know with tattoos in the same place say it don't hurt to bad. I also have a low tolerance to pain.)

Best way to figure out how much it hurts is to do it.
 
It really depends on your own threshold to pain....and the body part where you are getting tattooed at...the fleshy the area is, the less painful...the bony parts like the wrist, foot, ankle and rib cage are the ones that hurt the most...
The pain is really nothing you cant bear...It will be worth it in the end as long as its a design that you really love...
There are certain things that you can do in order to distract yourself from pain.To minimize the pain during the process, you should go there with a positive attitude and mind over matter. Instead of fear and anxiety, try to relax yourself by listening to music so bring an ipod with you. Also, work with a tattoo artist that you are comfortable with.
