OutOfIdeas Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Just did 19 hours on ribs with Carlos Torres, 1 session:) Huh??? Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/332-whats-your-longest-tattoo-session/?page=10#findComment-86703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Thomas Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 My longest session is upcoming on the 5th here, 4 to 5 hours for a grim reaper going wrist to elbow on my right arm. But I feel it's nothing compared to the marathons some of these guys sit through.

OutOfIdeas Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 @peterpoose you are clearly a manimal. I would curl up and cry after 6-8 tops, 19 is pure insanity. Fantastic work as well!

RoryQ Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 @peterpoose I'm trying to even visualise how you'd do 19 hours... Incredible. Did you start at 10AM and go right through into the night, or how did it go? Breaks for food? Dd you guys have a few drinks? Enquiring minds want to know... peterpoose 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/332-whats-your-longest-tattoo-session/?page=10#findComment-86752 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 the longest one shot I have ever done was with Jess Yen for 8 hrs last summer. that first beer after it sure did taste good !

heathenist Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Has anyone sat 2 days in a row to finish a tattoo? If so what was it like and would you recommend it? Also, my longest session was a one-shot thigh tattoo that took 4.5 hours, so nothing compared to a lot of you, especially peterpoose.

beez Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 @heathenist I just did this. 5 hours on Friday and 4 hours on Saturday. It really wasn't that bad at all. It's not the first time I've done two days, but it is the first time I've had color put into a day old outline. Not bad at all. I was super afraid of it, but in reality it was easy peasy. Nowhere on the knee is fun though, whether it's day one or two :p Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/332-whats-your-longest-tattoo-session/?page=10#findComment-86786 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadeIndelible Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I can now change my answer from 2 hours to 5.5 hours. Never thought I'd make it through that long of a session, but it was surprisingly very easy. beez, peterpoose and tatB 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/332-whats-your-longest-tattoo-session/?page=10#findComment-86796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bexter Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Booked in for a 6-7 hour session for my second sitting. First one was 3 hours.

SeeSea Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 6 hours and it was pretty terrible at the end - shivering and mentally spent. He took hours to draw it on my back and we didn't start tattooing until around 10 pm. It was my first session ever and I didn't know what to expect, so I just took it as long as I could. My tattooer only does 1 appointment a day so his goal is to get as much done as possible. I have the 3rd session on my back on Friday around 7 pm, and I'm trying to gear up to go 8 hours if I can manage. I'm bringing movies, food, water, candy, layers of clothing, gloves (yes, I get so cold quickly). They ragged me a little for the gloves but were cool about it. Hey, whatever I can do, right? He uses one of those massage chairs where you lean forward and put your face in the ring so I can't exactly use a blanket. I'm seriously thinking of bringing a heating pad to put under my chest but I wonder if I'll just look like a nut job. But once I start getting cold, the pain feels a lot worse. Any other advice is welcome. tatB and peterpoose 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/332-whats-your-longest-tattoo-session/?page=10#findComment-86834 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatB Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 @SeeSea the shivering is the worst part of long sessions. during my 6.5 hour session on my thigh i kept thinking to myself that i feel cold but i'm not really cold. it was just an odd uncomfortable feeling. need to put together a long session survival pack for my next session. it will include layers of clothing, candy, water, books, movies, podcasts, music....

LOL that's what I'm doing, including overnight stuff if I find I can't drive home after (I couldn't the first session). Don't forget to add appropriate battery chargers! I'm going to call ahead and see if they have a microwave - I'd like to bring a mug and bags of tea to keep the core temp up.

peterpoose Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I have driven to Paris today. I have 2 days back to back with Carlos again starting tomorrow on continuing ribs. I am hoping for at least 2 x 10 hour+ sessions but may go longer if we can.

I'm sure that's probably just fine for some. But my limits have been well beaten into me and I'm trying to fight back. Snickers does sound good though.. peterpoose 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/332-whats-your-longest-tattoo-session/?page=10#findComment-86866 Share on other sites More sharing options...

polliwog Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Just wondering...how do both the tattooer and the tattooee fight the urge to fall asleep during a 19-hour session? Also, @SeeSea, could you bring an electric blanket in and cover the part of your back that isn't being worked on, or just your legs? Is that sort of thing allowed? I've only been tattooed twice now, but I brought ginger candy with me the first time -- the chewy kind usually made in Indonesia, you can get it at health food stores or Asian groceries -- and that helped settle my nerves and stomach immensely. It made a huge difference, if you like the taste of ginger. peterpoose 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/332-whats-your-longest-tattoo-session/?page=10#findComment-86885 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made a huge difference, if you like the taste of ginger. A blanket would probably be too awkward - there isn't a lot of room there, but that could be a good idea if I was laying down on a table, but I'm in the massage chair so I'm sort of upright and leaning forward. I know which candy you are talking about - I actually bought some for my second session. They had it in my local grocery store - I was surprised to see it there. Ginger is good stuff. Thanks for throwing that out there.
