10PieceNuggets Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I only have my arms/chest done, tricep actually hurt more than bicep but by far the worse spot was right on top of my shoulder where the bone is. Unbearable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
istunn Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Close to my armpit via Tebori. The throat area sounds like it would be the worst lol but I only have the half/sleeve chest area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reverend1 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 So far the worse spot for me was the side of my pec by my rib cage and armpit. Not unbearable, but I'm glad I don't have to do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmersMcCleary Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 My brother had a milky bar kid tattoed on his ribs and he thought it was the most painful tattoo hes had, hes very skinny though. my friend whos abit bigger also had her ribs tattooed didnt find it that bad so it depends really, Ive got a tattoo up the side of my lower leg and the parts of the tattoo that are on my shin i found nearly unbearable, that tattoo was done in one 11 hour session Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCarter Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I don't have anything in other locations for comparison, but my only tattoo to date is on my ribs and I honestly didn't think it was painful. Granted it was only a 90 minute session, which may have something to do with the lack of ouchness, but I found that the vibration was the most annoying part. My artist was surprised how well I sat, and said that I put some of the big boys to shame (I'm female, and only 4'10" tall). The next piece I'm planning may change my tune as it will be on the other side of my ribcage and much larger in size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugilist Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I found front of thigh to be the easiest spot I've had done yet. hogg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope your piece come out well. Right on the spine can get pretty painful but everyone is different. That spot I think has a minimal pain level compared to the rest of the body. 7dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WGDRMZwylie Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 i got my knee and the inside of my knee recently done. Right on top of the knee isnt so bad, but around it was shit and at the end of 4 hours i was ready to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Was about ask about the knee! Ditch was a bitch. Elbow I've yet to finish (shade a web to finish sleeve), but it hurt to line! Ribs is hell,you can't prepare for it. Calf wasn't much fun, wrist stings but is ok. Gotta fill in my torso next month,its already lined by Ross Nagle, we're gonna hit some sweet spots!

ShawnPorter Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Nibble and Sip: tattoo nutrition and my experiences with long distance cyclingMy friend David's take on tattoos and nutrition. By the by- David did around six hours on my ribs on Tuesday, and we used Nibble and Sip; Maybe its an overall improvement because of fitness/diet changes, or maybe its because of N&S, but... there was a noticeable difference in my tolerance over the last time I had my ribs worked on.

ShawnPorter Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Six hours, @ShawnPorter? I hope you were nibbling on Vicodin and sipping on whiskey. hah. Protein bars and water, my friend. Clean living. I was good until we started outlining (the outlines of the Monk were already there, it was just a color session until we finished the main part and decided on the halo) near the armpit. By that point I was hitting a wall. Still... finished it up. Until we work on the background. I DID take my glaucoma medicine once I left the shop, so that helped a bit. ;D slayer9019, reverend1, hogg and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogg Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Good to know! For the record, the only thing I take for tattoos are deep breaths, but the ribs had me reconsidering that stance. Reyeslv and else 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
