It really doesn't hurt, I've got 9 altogether. The first one I had my mates pushed me into it, peer pressure and all that, anyway I had a total fear of needles at the time, was sick twice and passed out. But once I got my phobia out of my head it was no problem.
However I wouldn't encourage anyone to get one, I really regret most of mine now that I'm a bit older and wiser.
