I have a seriously high pain threshold so don't find them sore... a friend of mine swears by a painkiller about 30 mins prior to sitting and a lollipop to suck on.

I love the sensation - would happily sit there for hours as I just zone out and enjoy!!!

Just relax, enjoy it and if needed take a break as required!!

There are far more painful spots to get inked!!

Good luck!!

The one in my pics is now much bigger and it hurt like a bitch all the way through. I sweated buckets and swore like a navvi.

More planned.

Water and chupa chup lollies. Make sure your phone is charged. I spent the 2.5 hours of my last one texting a friend and sucking my lolly.

2 bows shouldn't take too long so just grit your teeth! Lol. It's fun. I can't wait for my next one x

You can always ask for numbing cream which helps take the edge off

Are you being serious?? My tattoo guy used a torture gun with sharp needles in it and it was agony. He never told me about cute unicorns the evil bastard!!

It does hurt but if you want it badly enough, and tattooing shouldnt ever be a decision taken lightly, then it's something you have to endure. It's not mind numbing extreme pain.

My foot and ankle were painful but the tattooist was really good and she would only do tiny bits at a time. The thing I found with my foot was it started to shake.

Please excuse the waffle but I have been trying to understand this issue since i started to get heavily tattooed a few years ago.

This is the way I deal with it. I have had over 100hrs and still get work every few weeks.I am completing my half body suit.

Im grateful for the opportunity to actually put my thoughts down so here goes. Pls. excuse the waffle and the occ. abbreviation or sp. mistake.

(clears throat)

1) I get a smallish towel, cover my head and put my head down.. Then start deep breathing.

I time it so Breathe in deep when I hear the gun silent.. and breathe hard(ish) out when the needles hit the skin.. following a slow and deep rhythm.I ignore the pain and concentrate on the words "breathe in " "breathe out" as I go. Imagine Im in a white, peaceful room.

I do this and ignore the pain for about the first 15 mins. I will end up breathing in very slowly.. but often breathe out hard ( depents how sharp the area is.

The towel is good cos you can really grip it. I have been known to bite it.

By that time the endorphins will have kicked in and the blood cells will know that the skin damage and foreign pigment are not such an immediate danger and stop reacting so drastically.

The pain will not get any more markedly worse than what I have experinced.I find that I sort of get used to it after that period.

Then I power through it.. head up and stop the breathing method but i stay body relaxed... again to experience the pain at its worse and basically find the level i can take . What i find then is that I can simply "take it" at that point...

when and if i need to then i go back to the deep breathing and usually fall into a kind of relaxed slumber .

The times when im not "meditating" I like to watch what he does with a hand held mirror.. which I think helps with pain too as it does seem to hurt less when u watch. However there is the temptation to talk.

SO I tend to detach myself like this for longer periods..i have often fallen so dep into a trance i more or less dribble hahaha

I find keeping to myself in this way ( listening to fave happy music helps sessions go quicker ( cheaper) and id prefer the artist was in a zone too doing his thing rather than chatting shit to me at my expense and possible detriment.

Thats about it..

aftercare?
