Well I've never been the best with introductions just a jump in and talk kind of person but here it goes. :D

I'm a 24 y/o who was born and raised in Texas but currently living in upstate New York (totally different than NYC). I've always been a fan of tattoos and the masterpieces that people have had put onto their bodies. I myself have 5 tattoos and currently booked for my 6th tattoo on March 31st. That tattoo will be my showpiece. :) I've got about 10 hours worth of tattoos under my belt which to me is nothing. :p

Just wanted to browse around and ask for peoples experiences in long session tattoos which is what my 6th tattoo will be. I'm so excited for it since it's been about 5 years since my last tattoo.

I'm an open book so if anyone has any questions for me please feel free to ask.

Thanks for reading my little tid-bit about myself and sorry for the random jumping in talking.

My artist will be Brian Brown who is located in Dalton, MA. He is truly an amazing artist that puts masterpieces on the people that works on. I was so lucky to book my appointment to be so soon since he is booked out for months and months. My design that I came up with myself is a tribute to my culture and family. What I had come up with is a dream catcher and for the feathers that drop down two will be eagle feathers (father and brother) and there will be 3 other feathers that are hawk (mother, sister, and myself). I wanted to symbolize in my tattoo that I am the one piece that connects my family since my brother has a different dad and my sister has a different mom. I gave him free reign to change that tattoo as long as it stays within what I'm trying to symbolize and portray. I trust his instincts and know that he will make it one of a kind. It's going to be a thigh piece and I was told it was going to be around a 10 hour session that I want to try and get knocked out in one sitting.

Jen I will for sure be posting pictures of when I get my tattoo. Time will officially feel slower since my tattoo is in 3 days.

I posted a few pictures of some of the work he has done in the past.

On another note if anyone who checks this feed out who's sat through a LONG tattoo would mind giving any pointers on what I should bring or what to expect that would be awesome! Thanks in advance! :D

There's a few good threads about preparing for a long session, I think one is called pre/post tattoo rituals (sorry no link, I'm on my phone). Another good read is an article called "nibble and sip" by David Bruehl, a rad tattooer who took knowledge from endurance biking and applied it to sitting through a long session.

      big Problem after tattooing.

      By Hogrider · Posted

      First let me say I've never seen exactly that related to tattoos. Second, I am NOT a doctor, so take any advice with a grain of salt and follow it at your own risk. I do have something like that which appears on my face from time to time. After multiple visits to the dermatologist, which didn't fix it, I finally came up with my own treatment. Whenever it flairs up, I just wipe the area down with plain rubbing alcohol three or four times a day to keep it dry. That usually works within a couple of days. Again, I'm not a doctor, but I don't think it would hurt anything for you to try that. Good Luck.

      big Problem after tattooing.

      By zomno · Posted

      Hey, I have a serious problem! I got a tattoo in Manila 4 weeks ago. The artist is very well known and is one of the most renowed. 2 day after tattooing, small pimples began to form on my thight an many at the tattoo. 3 days later i had fever at night (just at night). After that, the pimpels began to spread very quickly all over the body. (back stomach etc..) I have now been to 3 doctors and everyone is at a loss. The blood work is fine and with no anomalies. Antibiotic ointment and cortisone ointment did not help. Xyzall allergy tablets did not help either. When i took cortisone tablets, 90% of the pimpels disappeared on the tattoo, but not on the other parts of the body. Now that I´am no longer taking cortisone, the pimpels on the tattoo are starting to grow back again very quick. On the other parts of the skin , the pimpels are sometimes lighter and sometimes stronger. This can be change hourly. They don´t hurt and hardy lever itch. Of course I´am afraid of a tattoo allergie. Has anyone already had this problem ? Does anyone know what that could be ? I add photos: 1) Photo directly after tattooing. 2) 2 Photos with the pimpels after a week 3) After 3 weeks while taking cortisone. 4) Photo of the body on the left.
