I heard my sister-in-law today telling someone that her ex-boyfriend got a flaming 8-ball on his forearm and that it's a symbol for cocaine. It is not necessarily a symbol for cocaine but since her ex was a coke user it was a symbol of coke for himself, hence the 8-ball(the pool ball and an 8ball of coke). Virtually no one else would look at this tattoo and assume that he is a coke user; they may think he likes to play pool.

How much do inner forearm and wrist tattoos hurt. It will be a first one and am worried about leaving with a half-finished tattoo. Also anyone ever use emla cream?

First off I would not recommend using any topical deadening agents...Most of them you need to know a complete heart history of the client...Also will they inhibit the ink from taking....I can tell you from personal use that 10 % lidocaine creme worked great, for 15 minutes...But as the stuff wore off the pain was 3x as bad....Not worth it.... The inside of the arm hurts worse that the outside...Wherever the sun and wind hits you the most will hurt the least, as the skin will be tougher there. Now wherever one portion of your body joins up with another, these areas will hurt worse...Your skin is thinner and nerve endings probably closer to the surface....For the longest time I thot that the area immediately behind the hand where the wrist meets it was one of the most painful spots on my body..And if I were you I would move the tattoo at least one inch back from the hand....Inch and a half would be best.....Hope this helps....TatuBaron P.S. Dont worry you can handle it, life is pain, a tattoo is simply a tattoo. TB --I am a female and I have a tattoo on my wrist just 1/4 inch from the bend and a tattoo on the inside of my left arm, just under the elbow. [also a back tattoo and calve tattoo] I am not tough. I am extremely sensitive to pain. However, The two arm tattoos were not as bad as you would think. When getting either, I think it helps that you are able to exert some of the pain by balling your hand into a fist. It is going to hurt- That is a true story. But it will not be unbearable. My wrist was the least painful out of all four tattoos. Then my inner forearm, followed by my back. My leg hurt the most. LOL. My advice to you, eat well before hand, go in with a positive attitude, and a stress ball lol. Cheers- E

What does He was behind the curve ball on that one mean?

It means that someone has mixed up three different expressions. One is "to be put behind the eight ball," which is an allusion to the game of pool, meaning to be placed in an awkward, difficult or untenable position. The second expression is to "throw someone a curve ball," which is an allusion to the game of baseball, meaning to suddenly introduce unexpected difficulties for someone. Third is to be "behind the curve," an allusion to graphs, meaning not at the leading edge of things, out of it, slow or stupid. As to what the sentence is TRYING to mean, that's anyone's guess. Maybe its intended meaning is He really dropped the ball that time, or He messed up hugely there.
