Alright folks,

I am getting inked on saturday (the first two hours of an overall eight needed), anyway, I know I'm being gay, but what is the pain like, as if I was just having a small design that would take 30mins it wouldn't be the end of the world even if it hurt like fook, but having 8 hrs I'm starting to get nervous

 

Depends on where you put it.

 

Yeah fair comment mate, in this case just above wrist to top of shoulder

 

like a sleeve? underside of the arm will hurt as the skin is more sensitive there, wrist will hurt as its quite close to the bone

 

hurts like hell man ur gonna go away crying

nah its fine where about u getting it. the outlining is the worst bit. its more of a discomfort than actual pain. Also depends on where u get it if there plenty of flesh it will be less painfully say to somewhere thats near bone

 

This is it, exactley as is (except without the neck bit)

 

Yep.. Like weegaz says, underside of the arm will hurt more.

 

peice off piss

 

Here's another pic showing where it goes over the top of the arm



I take it that most people can handle two hours at a time ??? also I have been told not to drink for at least 24 hours before.

 

tbh sit there long as you can you may have the stamina for more than two hours

the pain thing done to the person depends what you call pain
more of a nagging feeling for me tho seen the biggest blokes pale 10 seconds into it

 

You really know how to reassure someone don't you mate

 

yeh mate first one i had done made me cry


was only 14 at time

 

14 !!!!!!! you must of been a big lad for ya age, or the tattooist was just after ya money

 

Anyone got any pics of their tattoo's ??? if so post em up

 

6 footer @14

and was dodgy tattooist old school circa 1983

 

Nice, any pics fella ???

 

No, it ain't me

 

not at mo but will get some up

you do know that you have to have them "edged" every so often

mine faded out into the skin in some place

 

most of the time people get them as their "trendy", but think how is it going to look when your 55-65??

 

old and faded

 

I hear what you're saying there mate, but I've thought long and hard and have wanted this for a while now, Also, I had a bad car crash a couple of years back and my outlook on life changed somewhat, and I've just started a new job and the boss has a tattoo and said the company has no issues with them so everything just seemed to come together, but I agree people getting inked for fashion is a bad idea

 

the 5yr ones are really good if its a fashion thing

 

How do they work m8, do tell

 

When the needle hits bone is fucking painfull

Ive got on my leg what your having on your arm and when it went over the side of the knee into the tendons thats when I thought I was going to pussy out and say stop But I didnt thankgod .

The most painfull part is the outline because a different needle is used , when they fill in the colour its a doddle

 

Anyway of course its going to hurt , your having a needle puncture your skin approx 3000 times a minute

 

and hope ya got someone skilled not a needle dragger

 

Had one of those before and it was a woman too .............. stupid fookin slag

 

pmt revenge on the male race

 

Oh no I'm having it done by a women, a good looking one at that

Deano, when you say it touched your tendons surely the needle shouldn't be going in that far ???

 

Yeah I bet she was a bra burnin lesbo

 

course it does

 

Ok then whats that thing in the back of your leg behind your knee ?

Hamstring ? tendon ?


ITS ALL THE FOOKIN SAME ............................. IT HURTS LIKE FOOK

 

When i had mine done on my shouldeer i was a bit pissed and i found it a tickley burning sensation thought it was a peaice off piss Then i had one done at the base of my back when i was sober!!! Fook me i nearly cryed The outline was like a knife cutting straight into me nothing like my first experiance lol i nearly fell off the chair but after 5 mins i think you get accustomed to it

 

How long did it take for the whole thing on ya leg Deano ??? was it exactely the same as the pics ???

 

It took approx 4 sittings and no it not identical but is a large peice of tribal that runs from hip down to my ankle

 

Nice one m8, any pics ???

 

Dont drink beforehand mate you'll bleed like fook if ya do!! Is it going anywhere near ya coller bone if so good luck it fooking caned when it hit mine!!!

 

Heres my tattoo!!!

 

Enjoy your tattoo, but remember it's for ever

No tattoo for me, only got pierced.

I have one on my left arm took 9 hours, 3 hours at a sit down once a week for yep 3 weeks. first time was outline, 2nd was color, 3rd was finish color and shading.

The Very first time the needle hits your skin it feels like a razor sliceing your skin..but after a while you don't feel it anymore, then the needle hits a nerve, or a bone and "OOuch" I want another huge one on my back..but I can't afford it, have a car habit to support and wife always pulling at me trousers!
