Last time you got tattooed? (THE ITCH)

[Petri Aspvik]

You have the itch like I do? FUCK ME! It's been like, 2 years when I got tattooed the last time. Jeebus fuck me I want to get tattooed. :mad:

How long has it been for you and what was the longest? Mine was about 5 years of not getting tattooed. Sucks.

Can only day dream. And it doesnt help whern you are visiting places like this, in here, Internet! Just makes you crazy :p

I went twenty years, then this year I've gone crazy. Seven since June, one being a full sleeve (still working on it). Next appointment - this Sunday.

Thank you!!!

Somehow I replied in this thread and it was intended for another. That's odd.

My longest absence was also 20 years and like you I've gone crazy. I've always said "if you want to be a bear... Be a Grizzly!!". I've completed a full sleeve on my right arm and that includes the chest plate. My left arm is almost halfway cover with an upper and forearm piece.

Tomorrow I start my back and that will be a full Backpiece and will end below my waist. I look at tattooers websites all the time. Luckily, I've been traveling for most of the work so there is a waiting period. Otherwise I would most likely be all covered.

The longest time between tattoos for me was about a year and a half (not including the 18 years when I was underage).

The last time was 4 days ago. Session 4 of a sleeve that still isn't finished. The itch for me right now is literal.

[Chelsea Shoneck]

It's been about three years for me :( the itch to be tattooed is extra unbearable when you spend almost 50 hours a week in a tattoo shop!

Since I started to get tattooed? A month and a week. I also was getting only around 1-2 hours a week on average so larger pieces go about a half a year

[Aahzz]

Well, I made it 42 and a half years before my first, then got 4 in just under a year. Longest since the first is 6 months. I'm not likely to get tattooed during a season when I might swim. I like to swim.

got tattooed 2 weeks ago, I have a laser appt thursday and I'm getting the color started on my arm the beginning of January :D

[Duffa]

Last time getting tattooed for me was end of August this year... and in less than 3 weeks time I'll be back in Japan getting the sleeve finished ;) (and y'all can bet your collective asses I'm excited!)

[abees]

almost a year (december 18th last year). will be december 8th this year next for me. chad koeplinger at frith street on both occasions :D

[asradin]

I think the longest period I've gone without being tattooed since my first one is maybe 6 months and that was deliberate so I could save some money. Although after my backpiece is finished I think I'll take a break and see what I want on my legs and ribs :) Oh and I last got tattooed one week ago exactly

[kirkson]

just had my last appt (of 4) on my upper right arm/shoulder on friday. before that was two sessions on the upper left in January-February (started in August, so 6 months between). Before that was 38 years of nothing. Next appt will probably be next Fall. take some time to think about what to do next (already have some ideas) and give my wife time to get used to the two large tattoos I got this year before I get another

[Scott R]

kirkson did you post the tattoos anywhere?

[Kev]

Last time: November 5th,2011. Next time: possibly the Star of Texas convention in January. I'm saving for an engagement ring, so I have to prioritize and ignore '"the itch" for awhile.

[kirkson]

kirkson did you post the tattoos anywhere?

no, when the new one heals I'll post in the "lowdown" page, along with the other one.

[poppunkers]

Yesterday! But because of a cut in hours at work, the sleeve has to sadly take a back seat :(

[Stitch626]

I think I went almost a year.. (douchbag ex to blame) But now, I think I've gone at least once a month for the last two years. I only missed 2 months so far. Made up for it last month, went twice for the Banshee on my arm

[Cork]

I got my tattoo finished up in October and I won't be going under the gun again any time soon. I'm in Kev's boat with needing to save. Wedding and a house are coming up. Other than that, I did reach out to Dana Helmuth and he said he is interested in my idea. I'll be getting in touch with him once I'm ready financially, which will hopefully be 2013 at the latest.

[David Flores]

Did a couple more hours on my back on Friday. For some reason I can only sit for about two hours on my back. I have never had this issue before, but it's getting annoying and at this point I just want it to be done, but my guess is at least 10-12 hours to go.

[cfgsteak]

Last Wednesday...I have a side appt for jan 18th...

Yeah @David Flores, I understand your frustration...I think I will have a hard time going more than 2 hours at a time on my side...I figure 5 sessions at that rate. Ugh.

[lving4today]

4 decent sized ones this year, a smaller one next tuesday <3

For some reason, all mine thus far have been big so I'm really excited for this next one which is gonna be smaller

[ChrisvK]

last time i got tattooed was when i got my first one last october, the itch for a new one is crazy. Sadly the lack of funds is also crazy

[Tim Goodrich]

I've been getting my old work covered finally. All of that Little Vinnie flash I thought was so cool in the early nineties is being covered up with big bold color work. Lance McClaine covered a piece on my right arm with some bold roses......Corey Rogers did a Panther head bustin out of a rose, then TimmyTatts did a big bowling pin eagle on my right forearm........Still have a ways to go, but I am loving my arms again.
