There are different variations of pain when getting that type of work done. The location. The amount of nerves in said location. The amount of meat in said location. yadda yadda blah blah.
A buddy has full sleeves and didn't wince once... but flinched quite a few times when the gun went over his spine to connect the two sleeves.

An artist in Albany has blue stars wrapped around his... wanker. Quite the funny guy at parties.

I have a hard time believing he didnt feel anything. My one buddy who is a kickboxer and is the toughest guy I have ever known had tears in his eyes when he got tatted up. Has sleeves on his arms and most of his legs from his ankle to his knees done up.

If you go through with it I doubt it will be your only one, they're very addicting, and sooner or later you'll find another form of inspiration or whatever that you'll want tattooed on you again.

I have 5 tats and 3 artists. I was really pissed off with the first one. He scared the shit out of me badly and lost a lot of color with in a month and half. So then went to another and was ok, but was on my back, so didnt care so much. Then I went to the Blue Rose here in Warren Ohio and he is the best so far, plus he is really cool to talk to and makes you feel comfortable. That is a big thing for me, someone who I can talk to while getting a tat. Takes some pain away.

On the meatier areas... not so bad. On the thin stuff... bad. Ankles, shins, spine.... that stuff hurts and I found it really hard to get used to. Not looking forward to getting my spine filled in and really rethinking bringing things over my collar bones and down the front now. But... Im sure Ill do it anyway as it is very addictive.

"Even though sometimes it's hopeless... I'll never lose focus."

Its a verse from one my favorite rap groups and recently it has rang way to true. Gonna get one line on top of the other and its gonna be on my left shoulder blade.

What lettering are you going with? I am in the market for a tattoo once funds surface, and I would like to get the phrase "The unexamined life is not worth living" on my back, but I would like some nice lettering for it. Do you know anywhere online that has various types of letting I could look at?

from what i take it for the most part the lettering is gonna be determined by how much space u wanna take up. If u dont care then free hand something yourself and im guessing there could do it for u

I cant draw stick figures, let alone lettering. Did you just do regular letters, or what?
