Gir, one thing I suggest for getting a wrist tattoo is to try to touch your fingers to your forearm. you see all the wrinkles in your wrist? those will make it hard for the tattoo to look good all the time, and make it difficult to heal. When you bend your wrist the scab will crack and fall off before it's supposed to. especially since the wrinkles are pretty big on your wrist. My tat is on my forearm, and starts right after my wrist wrinkles.
It hurts enough to make you go "hoooooooo" and take a deep breath...you have to keep breathing, and I always bring a water bottle with me to drink so I am distracted and don't feel sick. My tattoo artist is super cool so we have awesome conversations when he is injuring me so it helps. It all depends on your pain tolerance, though, as others have said. After a while, it goes numb and you barely feel it...it's just annoying.
