I'm going for my first one in about two hours, and I just want to know how much pain I'm going to be in :)

 

It's about 8'' square and will be in between my shoulder blades, all black work and will take about two hours.

 

Any ideas?

 

Dont do it your only going to regret it in years to come :D :d :D

I scream and run from doctors needles yet I have 8. Don't worry. Depends very much where it is? Outside of arms etc not so bad, lots of padding, bony or sensitive areas, not so good. Doubt it'll be as bad as you think, and so quick!

The bits over your spine will really hurt, and the bits over your blades will be uncomfortable- it's a cross between back-ache and getting stung by a nettle.

Right, you're not playing anymore:p I just hope you're teasing:tongue:

 

lmao naa mate,it wont be that bad mate,like they say it really depends where your getting it done,i got work on the base of my spine and it was no where near as bad as the inside of my arm and elbow etc,just stay relaxed,and as soon as its finished you will probably want to get another one:D good luck mate!!

I agree, I had 2.5 hours done on my lower back. Was told it would hurt on the spine but the edges (my fat bits!) hurt more.

 

I'd say ranges from a 3 to an 7 out of 10, and I'm a big woose. No worries.

 

Making me want another one! And I'm going in to town today...hhhmmmm....

Ok this really bugs me what people say about tattoos. It'll hurt and there'll be no letting up on the pain. HOWEVER it's not THAT painfull... I've heard it described like dragging scissors down your skin... that's fairly acurate.

 

I have a severe needle fear (makes me sick just thinking about it) but I've spent 4.5 hours in one session for one tattoo (but I wouldn't advise that long... your body tends to go into shock).

 

In the end it's something that's easy to bear... not much lasts for a life time :)

60 hours in total for me not all at once, first one hurts the same regardless of where it is, outline hurts more than colour, just block it out it is not that bad really, i found my rib cage, nipples, sternum, abdomen and inner armpits, belly button a bit of a devil but was worth it, enjoy
