Ok edited to make it not so massive, we'll see if that works. Tried to get a head on photo to show the other side as well, but it made it distorted as it wraps around and looked funny.
Done by Ellen Murphy at Lombard St Tattoo, Portland. As I said the other day, rad shop, Ellen was awesome, great day all around. Picked off the wall from a Stell sheet, mostly healed now.

Even though that post is 4 years old... im glad you posted that cause I hadn't seen those pictures!

Edit: nevermind, not helpful.

Not only do I agree with Mick totally, but also, 7.5 hours is still a very long session! Definitely no way you should feel ashamed of tapping out there.
Edit: also, to answer the original topic, no painkillers for me. I took ibuprofen before, during, and after getting my elbow cap blasted, but that was because I had to go to work an hour after the session and needed to be able to move my arm. It was a shitty day at work!
Honestly I think being pilled out would be a very uncomfortable feeling while being tattooed. And I would always feel as if I cheated; that tattoo would be slightly tarnished for me.

I agree, sounds like you handled it like a champ!

@losParanoyas that lady is awesome.
I got a walk in at Lombard St Tattoo in Portland today, from Ellen Murphy. Went in to pick something off the wall, and ended up getting a dagger through a rose, off a Richard Stell sheet. I'll put up a picture when it isn't all gory, but I'm super happy with it, and it was a great experience all around. Very cool shop.

I don't even know why I read these contest threads anymore. All they do is give me ridiculous tattoo envy.

@hogg I've got a buddy that would have done those sleeves for half price though...

Woo! I just found out that after I drop off my current load this morning, I'm picking up a load that delivers in Missoula, Montana. This just happens to route me through my hometown, and my mom is making dinner for some good family friends. I should conveniently arrive around 6 p.m.
This rocks cuz my hometown is kind of in the middle of nowhere, so I never go near there unless I specifically ask to. Won't have a whole lot of time there, but at least I'll get to see my dog and have dinner with my parents!

I'll just swing by and pick some up :) if we time it right, I could probably deliver some to @SeeSea
