Tattoo?

Today's question is:  Why would anyone get a tattoo on their boob?


Background:  We are hanging out in greater Cincinnati this week, enjoying the town and sites as we have for the past 7 years.  Paul's dad grew up in Cincinnati.  Paul's Uncle Jim and 8 of his 10 kids all still live in Cincy.  We come every year to visit with our namesakes clan.

So today, we went to Coney Island Park in Cincinnati.  Last year was the first time we had ever been to this park and I have to say it was an enormous hit with the kids, they begged to go again.  So we went.  As we were playing in the pool, a woman caught my eye.  This lady had on a black bathing suit that showed a rather enormous tattoo on her left breast.  It was softball size.  Who would get a softball size tat on her breast?  I mean wouldn't that hurt like hell?  

I've noticed that tattoos seem to be all the rage, but seriously all I can think of is pain, pain, pain.

Do they hurt? And if so, is the 'beauty' in the tat more overpowering than the pain?
