Tattoos?

Im one year post op at the end of the month. DI, FNG, no T. I'd like to get a tattoo just under my scar, a small one of just text. Fortunately for me, but unfortunately for this situation, I have full feeling. I've never had a tattoo before so im unsure of the pain level. I have another design I will get on my wrist, but unsure if I will get that one first or on the same day.

I'm really just looking for experiences of rib tattoos post surgery. Pain levels, talking to the artist (I have one in mind) I've already emailed my surgeon to check if it's OK and waiting to hear back. I think im more nervous about this than my actual surgery!
