How can you prevent fainting during a tattoo, when it is a physiological response?

I started my 2nd tattoo today. Not 10 min into it, I fainted. I have NEVER fainted in my life. I didn't faint during my first tattoo 10 years ago, but did get dizzy and felt ill. My tattoo girl was freaked out- and wanted me to go to the dr, which is scary because after looking on the internet, it is rather common. Dr said its a physiological response to pain that some people have- but how, then did I withstand the first? Any tattoo professionals have any real advice? I don't want answers like "don't look at the needle..." etc.. because it is not a fear nor the feeling of pain that causes it usually.
Also, she wanted to stop after that happened. If it happens again in the future, is it reasonable to keep going? She said if it happens again she won't finish it. Right now I have part of a dragon's tail on my back : (

Answer
I have 4, Ive never fainted. I just sweat alot when I'm getting tattooed, usually a cold sweat, not very enjoyable....Try numbing cream, I used that with my 3rd tattoo and all i felt was pressure, Also right before you get a tattoo try and feel "neutral" just relax and calm yourself, have a loved one with you. Good luck :)

What kind of tattoos do girls like on a guy?

What kind of tattoos do girls find attractive on a guy and where at?

Answer
None. Having a lot of drawings on arms, legs, back, stomach, neck...wherever else a man can think of defiling his body is a turn off for most women.
