It'll be way easier than it seems from the outset!

Preload ibuprofen, drink lots of water, and don't forget to breathe.

It'll be great! (Where on your body are you getting the tattoo?)

[radiofreejenn]

I have my water bottle all ready to go! It's my lower right forearm. Nothing horrible, just getting nervous.

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!

Ah yes, then I stick to my original reply :).

Breathing is so important. Getting tattoos has made me better at going to the dentist. Same skill set. Sit still and breathe.

I bought Tootsie Rolls and I'm making banana bread to take in with me.

I'll breathe a lot, I swear!

Bring an mp3 player or something.

You'll be fine, people do it every day...no reason you can't either.

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!

I did 7.5 hours today, and I didn't die :) You'll get through it!

7.5! Whoa! I'm basically getting something covered up with a half sleeve. My appointment is at 12 central time, so I'll post pictures tonight :D

arg I got six hours on my back today... And I feel like I am handling it like such a wimp.

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

[radiofreejenn]

I took my valium like normal this morning...that's okay, right? I can't really just skip it :/

You're screwed. I see at least one or two people die a week at the shop. See ya on the other side.

@misterJ

Getting your back tattooed is no joke. If you sat for that long you can't call yourself a wimp in my opinion!

Well damn.

[RoryQ]

At least you'll die relaxed!

[Guero]

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.

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.

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...

Looks great! Was it better or worse than you expected, pain wise?

[radiofreejenn]

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.
