SirBlazeAlot Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Im from cincinnati,Ohio and I just sat through ALMOST 9 HOURS last night working on my sleeve! I got 4 pieces and some fill in done last night, and let me tell you my arm is POUNDINGG today! It seemed like once we got past 4-5 hours, EVERY spot hurt worse than it should have. In the past 2 1/2 weeks ive done almost and entire half sleeve. Just got some fill in/ connecting left to do now!! Ill post pics if anyone wants to see Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/332-whats-your-longest-tattoo-session/?page=2#findComment-12771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtfrain Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 The longest should have been 7 hours. But the spot hurt SO bad and I cried through the entire thing (only one ive cried getting so far haha) so we broke it into 3 sessions. Longest full sitting was 4.5 hours on my arm. I had no choice, I had a flight to catch the next morning & it was the only time he had open. So it was sit & deal or be SOL Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/332-whats-your-longest-tattoo-session/?page=2#findComment-12790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursula Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I'm a big pussy so my longest was about three hours on my forearm. I'm usually only good for about 2 hours even with medication. Hahaha probly why I still have lots of room Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/332-whats-your-longest-tattoo-session/?page=2#findComment-12807 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfgsteak Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 My longest is 3 1/2 hours. It wasnt too bad, I was prepared with some advil and good food and I was well hydrated. I have an appointment Friday...early, at 11 am. If he doesnt have anything in the afternoon I am going to see if he can finish my tattoo in an extended session...I think it will take 7 or 8 hours. I would rather just get it done at this point! I think I can go that long with a lunch break and advil.

cfgsteak Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Well...I went 6 hours. It wasn't too bad...the "half sleeve" now extends onto my chest...go big, amirite? ;) Still have one more session.

asradin Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 The longest session I had was on the outside of my upper right arm. Coloured pretty much the entire outside of it in 6 hours as well as parts of the shoulder. I didn't find it too bad but it was the outside of my arm...

Mel Noir Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I think mine was between 3 1/2 and 4 hours. Until then I don't think I'd had a tattoo that lasted more than 2 hours, so it really hurt in comparison!

David Flores Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I think I spent five hours getting this tattooed on me a long time ago before i knew how to get tattooed and what to get tattooed. It still is just amazes me what the fuck i was thinking. Note the tattoo isn't even finished after the five hours, but I have to admit looking back I can't imagine trying to make sense out of the line drawing and what was black and what was skin. gougetheeyes 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/332-whats-your-longest-tattoo-session/?page=2#findComment-14034 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valerie Vargas Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I got my ribs tattooed by stewart maaaaany years ago and one of the sittings was 5 and a bit hrs, that was fun! haha. he says i fell asleep but i think i was just passed out. then jack rudy tattooed a topless babe on my thigh this year at the milano convention that took 6 hrs inc drawing time. the thigh one was actually incredibly easy going though, was feeling a wee bit raw towards the end but could have gone on longer if needed. getting the front of your thigh tattooed is generally easy i feel but he was so gentle it boggled my mind Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/332-whats-your-longest-tattoo-session/?page=2#findComment-15186 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaniceP94 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I went 6 hours on a key on my forearm. a freind who was starting to do tattoos, actually this was hist FIRST tattoo on someone (that turned out amazing considering) took 6 hours. he was scared to hurt me and took foreverrrrr. I was like dude I have a full pheonix on my back that took 3.5 hours to inverse outline...after he touched it up (which took a much shorter amount of time) I am happy with it.

Dylan H Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 mine was probably 3 and a half hours and the back calf slash shin wasnt too bad though. That thing about the older you get more it hurts so true ! although my last piece was chest slash stomach so that may have something to do with it.

Shmitty Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I sat for about 8 1/2 hours one day then another hour or so the next day. To me tattoos start to even out on the whole elevation of pain thing at around the 5 hour mark. Just the act of sitting for that long sucks though.

poppunkers Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 5 1/2 hours on my first tattoo. I have an 8 hour booked for next friday to work on my sleeve so we'll see how that goes.

mtlsam Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 It's funny how some tattooers are really fast and others so slow. I have an owl on my forearm that took about four hours and I have a tattoo on my chest three times as big that took a little over 4 hours. The chest kind of sucked towards the end, but I got the chest piece in one sitting deal! I wonder if the experience is different for larger tattoos? If there is more surface area being worked on I would think that the pain might be lessened allowing a longer session...

ThaliaCamille Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I wonder if the experience is different for larger tattoos? If there is more surface area being worked on I would think that the pain might be lessened allowing a longer session... I think the body can only take so much, even if the pain isn't all in one spot. The reaction (IDK, adrenaline or something) is probably just as bad. Longest for me has been 3 hours. After 2 hours, I feel pretty shithouse.

Dan Martin Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I tattooed 27 hours 27 mins. I was trying for Guinness, and actually made it but was beaten by some one else before it was confirmed. This was in 2000.

poppunkers Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Just did a solid 6 hours on my sleeve. My arm feels like a piece of raw meat.
