It was absolutely fine - fairly small so was never going to hurt much anyway, but it felt more like someone running across my skin than a needlle. The loud buzzing right behind my ear was kinf of freaky though. Worst bit was having to stay so still - I was convinced I'd start spasming in an uncontrollable comedy manner and end up with lines all over my face! And yes pics as soon as I think it's settled into its proper colour :-)
