I don't think I've had any Tattoo Blues. The only problem i had was when I finished my full sleeve on my right arm last fall, I was already thinking of more ideas for my left arm. :rolleyes: With that said, I think I'll have the blues once I run out of arms lol

Inner forearm near the elbow for me. Almost bit my lower lip off trying to keep from spewing hateful screams.

18 hours on a sleeve, your arm must have been worthless that whole week

That pretty much described the feeling. I did end up working the entire week after but no negative incidents occurred, whew. Swelling subsided after 2 weeks. It took about a month to fully heal considering the coverage. I had my touch up on 1/30/15 and put about five more hours into it. Healed up just fine in 14 days.

18 hours 15 mins... full sleeve. Both my artist and I became caught in the moment and we kept going. We intended to only do the outline initially but pulled an all-nighter. It was an ultra-marathon session for the two of us.

Thanks for the welcome SeeSea. I'll let me sleeve heal up (9 days old) and I will post a few images. :)

Hi there. Rich here from Cincinnati, Ohio. This is my first tattoo forum I've registered for. I'm 46 y/o and have five tattoos, one being a recent full sleeve on my right arm. Great topics here to learn from for future artwork.
