I have a small Z on my ankle and the myth goes around that they hurt like hell. Depending on who you have around you at the time and who is actually doing the "hitting" depends on your experience. For example, if you just crossed and everyone's all excited, halfway drunk, and just acting crazy and you decide to just get one because everyone else is getting one, then I am sure all the necessary precautions are not being taken, such as sterilization, making sure the area is numb, etc. I personally got my done when my Fiance got his Sigma brand. To tell you the truth, the part that hurt the most was trying to keep ice on the area for 30 minutes. The person who "hit" us was experienced in the medical field, told us how to take care of it, and also made our irons (so they were being used for the FIRST time). He brought us champagne and it was a lovely and memorable evening. It should not be one of those spur of the moment things that makes you regret you ever got it! Unfortunately, mine is fading now because I don't keloid and it has been like 4 years, but I definitely don't regret it!
