No. Literally everyone I talked to in the hospital when I was in for my few all said the same thing, it'll take even the biggest, baddest, meanest guy out there to his knees in tears. Until someone has experienced one themselves, it's impossible to describe, but I understand EXACTLY what you went through. I have no shame in admitting I cried. I'm pretty good with pain, I'm the weirdo who literally enjoys the feeling of being tattooed.
