green_dragon Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 they only sting for a bit then thats it....your body around the area swells and stops the pain.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 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!

Any ideas? 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.

Laura Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 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....

GeordieSteve Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattanna Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
