Thanks everyone! I'm super stoked on it already. I finish in 2 weeks, I'll definitely put some pics up when its done.

AlannaCA- I've heard the back of the knee can be prettty bad. keep us posted.

MsRad- Thank you for the compliment! The swallows were done about this time last year by Nick Rodin @ Blackheart.

Really nice! And what little of the swallows is visible, looks really solid.

Sternum was crucial. Very close to my armpit and on the shin close to the ankle also blew.

@gougetheeyes- Thanks dude! That Mario Desa panther head is fucking rad!

I thought the palm was really easy. I mean, it hurt, but it wasn't as bad as I thought. For me, tattoos hurt much worse as they go on. As long as it's pretty quick, I can deal with it.

Throat hurt, but that was more the actual position of being tattooed, head hanging off the table. I'd get dizzy and nauseous. It took about 12 hours to get it all in there. Really hard work, for both me and my artist. It's the only tattoo where I ever seriously considered tapping out and coming back later. The white highlights at the very end were just torture.

Top of the head hurts a lot. Starts painful and only gets worse.

The most painful, by far, for me, was the ends of my fingers, just under the cuticle. It felt like someone was searing hot pokers into the ends of my fingers. Intense, serious pain.

[The Hyena]

Yeah, the cuticles of my thumbs were horrendous.

[Huero]

Yeah, the cuticles of my thumbs were horrendous.

I got the thumbs done later and it wasn't as bad for some reason. It was more the other fingers. Spicy.

[Kevin Campbell]

I don't know why, but whenever I get my legs tattooed, it hurts like hell. I can only sit for little tattoos, maybe like 2 hours max. Actually, the last few only took like 30 minutes. I'd rather get any other spot on my body tattooed before I get my legs done.

finished my stomach the other day, still think it's the worst spot I've been tattooed.

Detroit.....most painful spot to get tattooed in.

Detroit.....most painful spot to get tattooed in.

Detroit???????

[Tim Hendricks]

I have to agree, some areas of my back were by far the worst spots I've ever been tattooed. I bruised the inside of my thigh pinching it trying to transfer the pain somewhere else.

[Tight-Lines]

Detroit.....most painful spot to get tattooed in.

That made me lol so hard.

Detroit is the hardest spot to do anything other than crack, be homeless, and have sex with a nasty hooker. Well, the last one you can do anywhere.

It's a joke i make a lot at the shop, it's dumb but it makes people laugh and not think about the hurt i'm about to put on them.

I also tell them that the tattoo they are about to get is always the most painful one. Time dulls the experience so all that matters is the one happening right now.

Personally my back didn't seem that bad. The bottom of the ribs, round the kidneys was pretty unfriendly. The back of the knees sucks pretty well.

I just left a deposit to get my left rib panel done by Brian Burk, so i'm a little nervous about that.

I gave Scott dibs on the other side, so i'll let you guys know who puts the hurt on worse once they are done....
