Woman Wakes Up, Finds Tattoo on Ankle http://hosted.ap.org/icons/spacer.gif

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Hillary Snyder said she isn't going to let her boyfriend's antics get under her skin. Snyder, 20, awoke recently to find she had been tattooed by her boyfriend while she slept.

She said she took a painkiller with a sleeping pill before she went to bed Saturday night. When she awoke, she discovered a tattoo of a five-pointed star on her right ankle.

Snyder said she had previously told her boyfriend she didn't want a tattoo. He wanted her to get a tattoo of a five-pointed start to match one of his own, she said.

"At least he didn't flub it up," she said.

The boyfriend wasn't identified. No arrests had been made. The investigation was continuing.

A police report accuses the now-former boyfriend of domestic assault. But Snyder isn't so sure.

"I mean it's not like he beat me up. There were no bruises or blood or anything. I'm just not going to see him again."

And on the ankle? Hell no. I have a small tattoo on my ankle, and it hurt like hell because its mostly on the bone. I can't believe she slept through it. Not for a moment.

I mean she must have been REALLY drugged because her ankle would had to have been held still for at least 20 minutes or so to get it inked. And it's on the ankle, which just hurts more since it's just skin and bones. She had to have been out cold and unmoving. That's just crazy.

Uhhh, wouldn't SHE be the one saying this, If she doesn't want any charges, why the fuck call the police?

And I bet she wasn't on sleeping pills, she was prolly on something and forgot, and claimed to be on pain and sleeping meds cuz there is no way you can sleep through that shit. God I hate dumb bitches.

This was my thought too. Someone got on her about getting a tattoo, like her parents or something and she's all, " I was on sleeping pills lawl."

This story reminds me of the "girl sleeping through getting pwned" porn that I've stumbled across. It's totally staged/fake, but still amusing.

I would recommend it for a good laugh.

Errmmm.


Her story doesn't sound like it has an ounce of truth.
Other than her boyfriend wanting her to have the same tattoo.

I saw the title and thought it was going to be about a mushroom stamping.

While some people feel pain differantly (getting tattooed on the back of my neck made me giggle) I don't think she could have slept through a tattoo on the ankle. It's just too close to the bone. In fact I have to call bullshit on this story. After 14 tattoos (in differant places) I can honestly say that it would be very odd or she would have had to be tranquilized to sleep through an ankle tattoo.

She took painkillers and sleeping pills... and seeing as that's what she admitted to and isn't pressing charges, I think that qualifies.

Go get a tattoo on your ankle after taking a painkiller and tell me you don't feel anything. :D

Some chick I know had ink done on her ankle and said that it's a dumb place to get it (the tattoo) because of how easily it peels.

I have nothing further to contribute, other than Mel's post made me gigglez.

With the right substance, it's very much possible to not feel it at all and remain asleep. I don't know about you, but I've never felt any pain during surgery, and that's a hell of a lot more devastating than a tattoo to the ankle.

I don't know about you but I didn't go through surgery with only "a painkiller with a sleeping pill" to put me under.

Last I checked, killing pain didn't take much more than a painkiller.

A lot depends on the type of pain, Bob. If it's intense pain, an oral "painkiller" probably won't do the job, and it certainly wouldn't keep you asleep while somebody carved a picture on your ankle. That would take something more akin to Vitamin V (Versed), or Fentanyl, given intravenously. Otherwise, you're going to wake up...unless, of course, you take enough of the "painkiller" to make you all but comatose. A "painkiller and a sleeping pill", as this woman describes, just ain't gonna do that.

ROFL.. you're about versed in adult medicine as you are in E-Machines and computers in general.

Stick to the Mathletes kiddo.

Never before have I ignored a poster, or thought that the idea was at all useful.

Xyelin just shattered my entire belief. Don't waste your time coming up with such amazingly witty, creative, original, and totally not excessively frequent at all posts involving me anymore, Xyelin, I'm afraid I can't see them. :(

Lol. Yea, I'd like to see you have surgery with a regular "painkiller"

All I remember from health class is that mixing 1 depressant with another would have 4 times the effect (1+1=4), and I'm pretty sure 4 percosets would knock me the f out. I am a bit of a lightweight, but if this was like a 90 pound chick in the story, I don't see why it's so inconceivable for her to sleep through tattooing. TRY GIVING BIRTH. (in your sleep?)

Same story but with pics of her with the tattoo.

She has one painkiller and one sleeping pill. I don't think that qualifies as enough to knock someone out to the point that they don't feel a needle inking an ankle for at least 5-10 minutes. Perhaps she was drunk as well but didn't want to say so, because that coupled with the drugs would let me believe her story.

While the combination you describe, Latrin, might put some people to sleep, it's very doubtful such a combination would keep the person asleep for a tattoo. Also, what you learned in health class doesn't apply to all medications. The interactions between medications are dependent on the chemical makeup of the medications and their effects can't be generally quantified in that way. It might be fine as a "rule of thumb", but it isn't accurate.

There are several reasons why people describe themselves as not feeling pain during surgery. Part of it is due to the use of drugs that prevent the brain from interpreting pain signals and induce a sleep-like state (narcotics), but that's only part of it. Drugs that cause one to forget the experience are also used (hypnotics). Neither of these drugs are given just once, but are monitored and "tweaked", as necessary, during the procedure. That's why they are given intravenously, as opposed to orally.

I think I'll stick to locals like they used when they removed my necrobiosis.

I was on a nice Oxycontin & Valium cocktail after my shoulder surgery. And I can assure you I still felt pain.

And since I've had a few tattoos myself, I can say with reasonable certainy that even on that combo of painkillers I would've felt it.

Heh. Yeah, a local anaesthetic is certainly preferable to general anaesthetics if the surgery you're having will allow their use. :)

Correct. You absolutely would have felt it. It's very difficult to relieve all pain for all people. Medications can mitigate pain to varying degrees, but anything worse than moderate pain is really hard to manage without the use of intravenous medications.
