Pik: man, it hurts, but lots of shit hurts, so its not like you'll be screaming in agony. its mroe like a cat scratching sunburn for like 45mins +.

Firewiz: pretty much what Boss said is spot on. it says:

Om Mani Padme Hum

QUOTE

"There is not a single aspect of the eighty-four thousand sections of the Buddha's teachings which is not contained in Avalokiteshvara's six syllable mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum", and as such the qualities of the "mani" are praised again and again in the Sutras and Tantras.... Whether happy or sad, if we take the "mani" as our refuge, Chenrezig will never forsake us, spontaneous devotion will arise in our minds and the Great Vehicle will effortlessly be realized."

Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
Heart Treasure of the Enlightened Ones

QUOTE

The six syllables purify the six realms of existence in suffering.

Om: purifies bliss / pride in the realm of the gods
Ma: purifies jealousy / lust for entertainment in the realm of the jealous gods
Ni: purifies passion / desire in the realm of humans
Pe: purifies stupidity / prejudice in the realm of animals
Me: purifies poverty / possessiveness in the realm of the hungry ghost
Hung: purifies aggression / hatred in the realm of the hell

QUOTE

"Thus the six syllables, Om Mani Padme Hum, mean that in dependence on the practice which is in indivisible union of method and wisdom, you can transform your impure body, speech and mind into the pure body, speech, and mind of a Buddha."

so, um ,yeah...there ya go :)

um, spidey, dont get one in summer. You gotta keep it out of the sun and out of salt water for at least 3 weeks after you get it done, and then protect it like hell from the sun for the first 3 years, lots of suncream etc. :)
