It feels exactly like a cat scratching a sunburn or bruise. It doesn't hurt much at all.
Sunburn is exactly how I'd describe it- like scratching sunburnt skin. I didn't have a problem with the feeling of it, but I found the noise of the needle really hard to deal with. I took music and listened to Pink Floyd really loudly to drown it out which is also what I do at the dentist (same problem)- I even have a 'dentist' playlist on my ipod of songs that are really loud/distracting/make me 'hyper'!
I don't mind the sound of the tattoo gun, and as far as the feeling, it almost gets numb after the first minute or so. Not bad at all. Sunburn is a good description of how it feels right afterward, and for me, the "sunburn" feeling went away by the next day. The only issue I had was a bit of bleeding, as I have very shallow veins since I'm a bodybuilder. Most people don't bleed, as I've been told.
