Get a big tatoo across both of your shoulder blades and say that. Or right in the middle of your back (meaning across the spine and not off to the side). Different parts of your body are going to have different pain levels for tattoos. The arm by comparison is for wimps.
And hey, if you're really into pain, try removing that sucker in 5-10 years.
That said though, I have nothing against getting a tattoo. I'd rather get a tattoo than a piercing. I often think about getting one actually. Unfortunately I have no idea what I want one of, where I'd want it, or who I'd want to do it, so my body is probably going to be boring for a while.
As for other people getting them, some people can really pull them off and they look nice no matter what age they are. Others though look totally ridiculous and/or tacky. This is usully the case with dumb teenagers who obviously got a cheap tatoo while drunk by some other drunk unknown in the hood doing whatever they can for crack money. They are often extremely simple tatoos, badly drawn, that do nothing for you except be an eyesore, yet the dumbfucks who get them think they are hardasses now because they were stupid enough to make a lumpy messed up outline of the state of Ohio with a nose a permanant feature of their identity. What's really sad is that they don't even realize that it is stupid. They may as well have gotten "I'm a dumbass!" tatooed across their forehead because that is all people see when they look at it, but they think they're cool.
Anyway, if you know who is doing yours, what you want it of, and where you want it, and have thought it through about making it a permanent part of your body as well as the pain factor, then go for it. Just make sure that it doesn't scream "I'm a dumbass!" to anyone who sees it.
