SeeSea Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Session 6 on my back piece tonight. Brownies for the shop are in the oven now. Yum!I had a massage last night to try and loosen up some of the tense knots in my neck and upper back and reduce headaches from tension all down my spine. I'm still pretty knotted up. I wonder if tattooing over those knots last time in the shoulder blade area is what made it harder to bear. Anyone notice if tattooing over knotted muscle is worse or if pre-session massages are worthwhile? Heading into session 7 on Friday, and I had another pre-sitting massage yesterday. My guy was booked so I went to a new guy. During our pre-massage chat, I told him I was in the middle of a tattoo, and to avoid a specific area on my back because it had just been tattooed a couple weeks ago. So he's fine with it, says he doesn't know how massage affects healing, and will be gentle. He asks me to start face down. After I'm settled on that nice comfy heated table, he comes in, turns down the sheet gasps and says, "Wow, I thought you said it was just a tattoo. I didn't think it would be this big!" It was funny to hear - younger kid. But then he had to tell me about his tattoo (ambigram down his side, done with his best friend, etc.) and asks me all sorts of questions while I'm trying to relax into the massage. Looks like this is a great reason to stick with one masseuse. And of course, since it's a sea theme, he had to tell me he "found Nemo." Yeah, that one's gonna get old pretty quickly. scubaron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beez Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 @growltiger dude, you're a badass, you'll be fine. No pain, no gain. And you already have some big ass tattoos in not so comfortable spots!! Healing's always a bitch. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubaron Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Dude you have been getting the best tattoos lately! Jealous. Thanks. I'm very lucky there are so many great tattooers in my area. I follow several local artists and tattoo shops on Instagram. Almost everyday I see something awesome that makes me want to schedule new work with another artist. Also a big thanks to this board and it's members for sharing knowledge and suggestions on designs, artists, styles, etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polliwog Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I just grabbed one of the last spots with Chad K. in 2 weeks after a lot of dithering. Now I'm going to make a superfluous post on here because I'm happy about it. On one of my scheduled days off, no less. Thanks for the final nudge, @Graeme.

Graeme Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Also... LST meetup? There is plenty of Jersey people on here now and NYC, of course. Going waaaaay back here, but I'm going to have to pass on an LST meetup this time around. I can't really take any time off work at the moment so we're driving the eight or so hours to NJ tomorrow after I finish work, get tattooed Saturday at who knows what time because walk-ins, then head back earlyish on Sunday so I can be back at work early Monday morning. Should be fun. We're hoping to make a NYC area trip later this year, maybe October, and we should for sure do a meetup then. It would be great to meet you folks.

Fala Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I have an upcoming consult for adding on to my pre-existing Yoni tattoo (will get tattooed in the fall, theoretically.)

El Dolmago Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Going to Toronto in July thinking of booking in with franz stefanik , unless anyone can point me in the direction of other shops? Big Fans of Franz in this house - also there is the Pearl Harbor Gift Shop in Kensington Market - who are amazing. They are kind of sister shops here and both have amazing tattooers. idyllsend and Rikhall 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Bee Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Going to Toronto in July thinking of booking in with franz stefanik , unless anyone can point me in the direction of other shops? Great choice. The Okey Doke is an amazing shop. I was thinking of going for a walk-in with Franz today. I dont think I can afford it though. Consider Pearl Harbor in Kensington Market. I am a regular there and can't say enough good things about the place. New Tribe on Queen West is good and so is Passage on Church street. Let me know if you need directions or anything.
