Pain

Pain: An unpleasant sensation that can range from mild, localized discomfort to agony. Pain has both physical and emotional components. The physical part of pain results from nerve stimulation. Pain may be contained to a discrete area, as in an injury, or it can be more diffuse, as in disorders like fibromyalgia. Pain is mediated by specific nerve fibers that carry the pain impulses to the brain where their conscious appreciation may be modified by many factors.

Pain is also a term specifically used to denote a painful uterine contraction occurring in childbirth.

The word "pain" comes from the Latin "poena" meaning a fine, a penalty.

Why am I writing about pain? Because i experienced a ton of it this past week. This post is not to scare anyone or talk anyone out of the topic being discussed which is tattoos. Thats right this week i got a tattoo on my ribs. It is 13 characters in Greek that translate into Forgiven. I was very well aware of what i was getting myself into when i went to perform this act. I honestly wanted it in the most painful place possible after all it does say forgiven. This meaning Christ forgave me for my sins and he did so buy the cross. So when i wanted the word forgiven in the most painful spot on my body, my thoughts where i wanted just a taste of what Christ went through to give me such a precious gift, that being: dying on the cross for my sins. Nevertheless i did experience such pain. Thirteen characters of Greek lettering went on some of the most sensitive spots on my body. When that tattoo artist "Larry" hit my ribs with tattoo gun (if thats the proper term) it felt like a pain that i have never felt before. You would think you would start to grow a immunity to the pain, but no. While Larry was racking my ribs the whole ribcage is vibrating in synchronization. It felt like my ribs where an orchestra and Larry was the director. This band went on for hour and they hit the high notes the whole time. By the time Larry was done at what he does best I was overjoyed that it was over and now it just feels like a sunburn. I love my tattoo and look at it everyday and thank God for sending his only son to die on the cross for our sins.
