painful wrist due to tattooing....

Another good exercise for the wrist is to get a stick/bar/pole about a foot long, tie a 5lb weight to the middle of the bar with a rope going about to the floor. Hold the bar out straight and use your wrist to twist the bar and work the weight up and down the rope. They sell something at most sporting goods stores to do this or you can make your own. I used to have really bad wrists from falling a lot skateboarding and it really helped.

there are all great techniques, thank you and keep 'em coming! so far the ones working out for me is cutting out salt, stretching exercises, going to sleep wearing a support wrist brace occasionally and accupuncture when i have bad days, so far ive been free of pain for over 3 months and counting!

I'm a firm believer, if you are doing large tattoos, on taking breaks. After an hour and a half I'll stand up just for a minute or two. Use the bathroom, get some gum, change your coworkers shitty music. Anything to get off your chair and shake your hands out a bit.
