Diana90 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Hearing some good ideas here. I hoping to get my 4th and possible last tattoo at some point next year but I would love to start planning now. That's why I came here, hoping to get some ideas from people and designs made up. I have some ideas, but would love help from someone to throw out some designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Nothing booked yet and this will have to wait until I've finished my back but plans are underway for getting my chest properly started. Going to get a kurikara Fudo really big on my torso. It's going to rule. SStu, Mush, hogg and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 From your back straight to your torso??? I dunnon if you're tough, or crazy! Tattoo pain isn't real pain anyway. I could still be crazy mind you, but everything is getting covered at some point so no sense in putting things off because they're going to hurt. Besides, if you want tough tattoos you can't be a wimp about it. marley mission, DeathB4Decaf, suburbanxcore and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutOfIdeas Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Yep. I want it all covered as well, and put up with the pain to get the end result, but it seems pretty real to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeSea Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I think I know where @Graeme may be coming from. Tattoo's aren't real pain, but that doesn't mean that they aren't painful. Or, I could just be putting words in his mouth, but that's how it seems to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marley mission Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 yeah seesea i think its an interesting category of pain if you will i mean - it hurts - but i think most of us would agree that the hurt is a valued part of the process getting the tattoo wouldnt be the same without it also for me going to the rib area recently was the most painful area i have had done but it only made it more special anyway - i kind of put it in that category of desired pain like marathons - hurts so good in contrast - kidney stones - uh - WAY painful - not special -- no desire to repeat :) but yeah i get what Graeme and you are saying is there a 'pain lovers' thread? or is that going into a 'too weird' place for us?

SeeSea Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 @marley mission - good way to put it - "the hurt is a valued part of the process." I don't really place any importance to it, just that it has to accompany the getting of the work. Yes, the tattoo wouldn't be the same without it - they go hand in hand, but yeah, other types of pain slam tattoo pain hands down end of story. A marathon is a decent comparison. I've drawn heavily on the mental fortitude I've built as a runner to get me through tough tattoo sessions. I wouldn't consider myself a pain lover as a result, although some folks are drawn to that aspect of getting tattoos. For me, the pain just is.

Voyager785 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 About how long do you guys usually sit in the chair before you have had enough? I'm sure it depends on where youre getting work done (i hear the less skin or more bone = more pain). But I am just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it depends on where youre getting work done (i hear the less skin or more bone = more pain). But I am just curious. I'll have to get up and pee every couple hours, I'd imagine. So far, two hours was the longest session (completed) and I was fine. Everyone has their own limit, and health/attitude can mean a lot.

jenfur427 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I have three coming up that I'm excited about. One on Monday by Casey Cokrlic, he's finishing up the underside of my half sleeve. One on 1/19 by Tom Yosenik, we're doing a hot air balloon on the back of my calf. I work with both artists and have a lot of pieces by them. And the one I'm most looking forward to. I've wanted a Nightmare Before Christmas half sleeve for forever. Hubby contacted an artist that I follow on IG named Jay Joree and had her do a full render of my half sleeve, and paid for the tattoo! My appt is Jan 14th. It's going to be a painful healing month, yowzas. SeeSea and marley mission 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun1105 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 So I earlier tonight I booked my next tattoo - in March I'm heading down to Austin to have Steve Byrne put an eagle on my chest. In one shot. Because I am an idiot. Ah, well. As @Graeme said, "If you want tough tattoos you can't be a wimp about it."

CABS Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Booked in January with Jason Phillips at FTW in Oakland to continue adding on to my torso. Then I should be done for awhile because I have 3 weddings to attend in 2015. Stoked, but not stoked.

iowagirl Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Argh, we still have until Feb 9th before we get our next sessions. I'd like to try and get more work done again during spring break for the district, but jeez, that's about a month later, and I don't know how tender the skin would be. Would be nice to maybe do some work on the opposite side, if the guy who did that work was going to be back this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rozone Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I've accidentally been getting tattooed pretty regularly lately… I got tattooed by Marco Hernandez at the Liberty party in Seattle a few weeks back, I got tattooed by Cheyenne Sawyer again at Atlas in Portland just over a week ago, I'm getting more work done on my back this weekend with Chad Woodley, and I just made an appointment to get tattooed by Matt Arriola again toward the end of January. The last few empty spots I have left seem to be filling up rather quickly... taaarro, Graeme, sophistre and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackMan Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 January 10th i have a short 2 hour session booked with Will Lollie for some more work on my foodog.
