I do like the hoop and think it's very pretty.
I never thought I had a high pain tolerance until I went into the hospital with my son and was (a) told I was already 5 cm dilated and having contractions (I felt okay) and (b) my epidural failed because apparently the discs in my back are very tight. After the second attempt with THAT needle I said I was good.
But I think depending where you got your tattoo (stick the fleshy parts) and the size you'd be okay. I am contemplating a third one down my spine that says "You are my sunshine" with my son's name and his date of birth birth.
I'm good with pain, really. I asked for an epidural for my son's birth (my daughter's had been entirely pain-reliever free and DAMN was that a mistake) and the catheter slipped out of my back. I very politely kept telling them that yes, it still hurt. 10 pound baby, Pitocin induced labor, bloody ow.
Migraines have given me an odd threshold of pain, migraines are worse than anything else I've gone through, including my gall bladder trying to kill me and 2 10 pound children.
But ASKING for pain...well, that's different, then I'm allowed to whine.
