Its not bad as long as the artist isn’t heavy handed. I tattooed my own forearm, workin on the whole half sleeve. If I can do it to myself with no pain at all, you should be fine… unless you are a wimp or the artist doesn’t like you very much.

I found it to be pretty much the least painful one I’ve had done, except, of course, when he got to the bend of the elbow. That was a pretty good number on the tattoo ouchie meter.

And you’re a total pussy if you use it.

Just saying.

Love. Peace. Metallica.

That agrees with me.

…I feel dirty.

Love. Peace. Metallica.

yep, and its a bitch to get the ink in the skin so has a possibility of the area being overworked, then sometimes the ink dont stay in properly after using creams so it quickly fades, and then to top it off the healing process goes totally to shit and it can take at least twice as long to heal….. ooooh yeah…. i forgot to mention that sometimes your body will store the pain up and once the cream wears off then you feel everything at once.

ditch the idea of advertising topical anesthetics…. most of us hate using the stuff 😉

Well, I currently have both forearms tattooed and I’ve gotta say no pain, a bit of an irritation though. Don’t listen to me though because i don’t find any tattoo painful. I could get tattooed for days straight until my body was completely covered.

Got to agree with you there !
