pidjones Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Mind you don't get the Chinese-made brands containing plastic shavings, though! I'm a traditionalist, and go with good old Purina, but sometimes treat myself to Mighty Dog (if I've been a real good boy). It does make me try to lick myself, though.

OutOfIdeas Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 There's a truck stop in Denver pretty close to the Purina plant. After staying there a few times, I now kinda hate Purina - the smell gets old fast. Also, fuuuuuck that tiny backwards little truck stop anyway.

TrixieFaux Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Oh yeah the ol' dog food solution! You may or may not know that cat food works just as well. But where can we commiserate about wanting a tattoo and having NOTHING booked or even planned out? I got so much work over the past couple years that now is the time I have to slow down. Life has some other expenses for me, debts, bedding sets, etc... but I miss having an appointment to look forward to! I do have some ideas for the future, just don't know when. Guess I just have to live vicariously through you guys for now.

Pugilist Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I love you guys. I also heard that dry dog/cat kibble is good because it sucks some of the moisture out of the tattoo, thus closing up the wound more quickly. Just make sure you moisturize a bit to compensate for that effect. PS @TrixieFaux , this is where having a tattooed partner is helpful - peer pressure and live vicariously through him! That's what I do, it's like having double the body.

SeeSea Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Thanks @Cork - I'm repeating that in my head. Thank you for that. @Pleadco - um, yeah! But now he's up my shoulder blade and down my ribs. He's jumped over more than half my back! I hate expecting to feel needles HERE and they come down over THERE. @Mick Weder - good times, all right! But dammit - I'm staying over with friends tonight and forgot to pack a cider for the morning!

SeeSea Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 @SeeSea. What are you going to do for breakfast now?!!Breakfast ciders are the bestest! "Booze, Blues & Tattoos" I know I know. It's a travesty. However, my friends have a well stocked home. If they have no cider, a Bloody Mary will have to suffice. 6 solid hours - I'm so pleased with the progress. And good news - there is an end in sight! He thinks about 5 or 6 more sessions 'till we're done. Going in again next week.

hatchettjack Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I dont know how you guys do it! I just spent 2 hours getting my mermaid done, and i dont think i could have went much longer!

Graeme Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Pictures taken while getting my back done. Session one: Session two: Session three. NOT FUN: Next session in a week. Can't wait, not being sarcastic there either. It seems that the more I get tattooed the more I want to get tattooed, and here I was thinking going into this that getting my back done was going to destroy me and make me want to slow down. ironchef, Mark Bee, chrisnoluck and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5572-thread-for-posting-while-getting-tattooed/?page=2#findComment-103008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Bee Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I was looking through a tattooer's pics on their instagram a while back and noticed a guy getting his back done in the background and looking like he was about to die. I looked a little closer and realized that guy was me! Here's the link to the pic. The account belongs to Jennifer Lawes, now tattooing at The Pearl in Toronto. I haven't been tattooed by her yet, but she is very good. Definitely worth checking out her work. http://instagram.com/p/n02VwcuTNO/?modal=true Graeme, DevilMan, Pugilist and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5572-thread-for-posting-while-getting-tattooed/?page=2#findComment-103010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeSea Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Next session in a week. Can't wait, not being sarcastic there either. Cool. Me too. I'm getting sucked into these sessions, looking forward to the next only days after, like I'm on a Netflix gorge or something. So, meet you back here next week?

SeeSea Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Every time I have a session, I take a picture of the ink cups with all the different colors we're using for the session. Today is a happy palette with green, yellow, dark green, orange, black, white and two different color blues. I'm going to make a little slide show/video when this is all over and use some of these pictures. I don't want to forget some of the interesting details of this experience. Speaking of which, I should probably include a screen shot of this thread! Good times. Hey @Graeme - are you doing the grind today or tomorrow? hogg and Pugilist 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5572-thread-for-posting-while-getting-tattooed/?page=2#findComment-103431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 @SeeSea The session is tomorrow, the first weekend session I've had for my back so far. It will be nice not having to take a day off work (or going in after a half day) and not having to go back to work the next day. Though there is something really nice about getting tattooed when you should otherwise be at work.

SeeSea Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 @Graeme - yes, having the day dedicated to the session is nice. I generally work a half day and try to lay down for an hour or so before I head to the shop. Even more important IMO is not having to work the next day. Have a good session - sit strong!
