Tattoo - soon

It is just now hitting me that in 2 weeks I will be getting ink hammered into my skin by a little needle. I'm scared and excited at the same time. I am sure that I will be completely fine, I mean obviously I'm not going to die. I suppose I'm just scared because I am completely in the dark about how this will feel. I'm positive it will hurt - a lot, but I usually handle physical pain well. I chose my right side toward the top of my rib cage  for the spot of this tattoo. I've heard that your rib cage is one of the most painful spots. I'll probably cry ha. I'll post pictures and a tell all about my first experience once it's done! October 16th is creeping up on me!
