Had the back of my arm done yesterday, thought it would be a cake walk but I felt nauseous at points. Did the last half hour with my head on the bench deep breathing. Feel burnt out today

    It was not my shoulder blade, or calf for sure… I slept through both of those.

    It was the inside of my bicep as it wrapped onto the backside of the bicep. I congratulated the artist and told them that they were the first to bring a single tear to my eye during a session.

    About a year before that I had a 5 hour session with no breaks, that artist said he was surprised I never wanted a break. I told him I always let the artist dictate the breaks.

    I’ve only got one tattoo (so far) and generally the pain level was okay. Except for the part on my chest just below my collarbone. That got spicy.

        Out of 10 I’d put that pain at about an 8. It’s not overwhelming but it builds up over time and ends up feeling really sensitive.

        I still can’t wait for my next tattoo though 😊

        Would you be comfortable with describing the tattoo you had done? I’m always curious about people’s tattoos!
