Hello there
As others have said, as long as the tattoo means something to you, then go for it and don't worry what others think. Tattoos hurt kind of like getting scratched by a sticker bush. If you go in thinking its going to hurt a lot, most likely it won't hurt nearly as bad as you thought. The pain can be a sharp pinch in some places, but it is definitely not unbearable, although it does depend on your pain tolerance. My brother has a tattoo on his wrist and said that it sucked, but I have one behind my ear on my skull and it wasn't all that bad.

The important thing is to just do it regardless of pain if you really want it, especially since you have for a year now
