What's your longest tattoo session?

[Gregor]

Its when the artist starts going over the same bits over and over again it gets really annoying for me. I have done 6 hours I find that short sessions heal better than long sessions .

I get that 4 hour "wall" where getting raked by a big shader becomes pure brutal, and you start getting those pains from being in the same position for too long

Set a new personal best last session. 4 and a half hours, and I could've kept going (stopped because I ran out of money). Lidocaine is a hell of a drug.

haha havent experienced it yet but my wife got tattooed recently for 4 hours and the artist was using Bactine and she said it was a breeze because of that !

I have tattooed for 12+ hours a couple times. I try to avoid those situations as much as possible.

Fuck. that. I am not a young man anymore, but even when I was, I think the longest I ever made it was around 5 hrs. UGhghgh.

Sitting, not tattooing, just to clarify.

My longest sitting was 6 we I got my neck done. All single needle.

Dan! You forgot to reply to this thread by quoting the last post just to reinforce the intensity of the situation ;) and on the note of pics, I think this is appropriate at this intense stage

That took 6 hours?

[Patriot Ink Tattoo]

There was a lot of very fine detail around it and within it. I'd 90% of the shading was single needle. And the rest was with a 7 oval. This was done in 2003, while I was apprentecing. I'm guessing I was being "learned" and that's what took so long. :)

My longest was about five hours on my chest. That was six years ago, so who knows if I could sit that long now. I'd like to think I could though! Had just over three hours on the back of my leg a couple of weeks ago and took it pretty well. But legs are easy. What's this Bactine stuff that was mentioned a couple of pages back?
