beez Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 It'll be way easier than it seems from the outset! Preload ibuprofen, drink lots of water, and don't forget to breathe.

radiofreejenn Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 I have my water bottle all ready to go! It's my lower right forearm. Nothing horrible, just getting nervous.

SeeSea Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Bring some snax with sugar. I take a batch of brownies every session to share. And yes, breathe! Oh, and no, you won't die!

AverageJer Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 It'll be way easier than it seems from the outset!Preload ibuprofen, drink lots of water, and don't forget to breathe. Breathing is so important. Getting tattoos has made me better at going to the dentist. Same skill set. Sit still and breathe.

RoryQ Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 6 hours on your back or front would be very painful but do-able. On your forearm? Should be even more do-able, not a bad place to be tattooed. Good luck, you may be being tattooed as I type this!

But, the focus on being calm and breathing helped me get through the first session.

irezumi Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 You're screwed. I see at least one or two people die a week at the shop. See ya on the other side.

RoryQ Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 @misterJ Getting your back tattooed is no joke. If you sat for that long you can't call yourself a wimp in my opinion! misterJ 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5123-6-hour-tattoo-tomorrow/#findComment-92049 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guero Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Thats nice to have water with you, but don't gulp it down. Then you will have to pee every 10 minutes and that makes it worse.

Zillah Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 At one point I had this feeling come on suddenly like I was going to be sick, but I took a quick bathroom break and it passed. The tattooist said it's common for people to experience a bit of shock.

radiofreejenn Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 I survived! We got no where near the amount done I thought we would, but it's amazing what did get done. I have to keep my bandage on for a while longer, but I'll snap pics after that. Here's a preview...

radiofreejenn Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 It was okay until it came to highlighting and he used the line needle for a lot to get good coverage. I was glad when the owl was finally done. I go back in 3 weeks to get my flowers/pocketwatch filled in.
