Tattoo and Body Art Expo

Herb Shelhamer, 35, Sharon, Pa.

Favorite tattoo: The dragon, on my neck.
Why he got it: I like dragons. The piercings as eyes are pretty sweet. They re called microdermals [body jewelry that are implanted into the body]. I get a lot of compliments on it.
How long it took: About 4 hours.
Pain scale, 1 to 5: 3. The third or fourth hour is when it becomes unbearable. But the first few hours, it s enjoyable.
Any tattoo regrets: No regrets.
If you could get it again, what would you change? Probably nothing.
What number tattoo it was is: Oh, wow. Probably around 70th or so.
