My artist always says, "Just because it's gonna hurt is no reason not to get one." By then end of the session I'm usually thinking it's a pretty good reason.

I get those involuntary twitches in my back... Very hard to control 😒

Hats off to you! Bet that didn't tickled 🤣

I just sat for an 8hr tattoo. Saturated colour with two cover ups. Never again 🤣
6 hours was ok but the last two hours was excruciating! The whites in the flowers felt like he was using an ice pick over gravel rash.
I was traveling so I couldn't do it in blocks. 11hrs at the shop and 8hrs in the chair. I was exhausted. Mind you sitting in the chair for 6 hours didn't help my lower back 😒
I'll stick to 5hr ones next time, however, I'm happy I stuck it out.
Did I mention never again? 🤣
 

That is absolutely beautiful!

Damn, and I'm sitting here proud that I made it through 3 hours on my ribs. Y'all are funckin' amazing.

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.
