I’m new to the site and still in the process of getting my first tattoo.

I have a pretty high pain tolerance and found the process to be tolerable. I did my entire outline in a single, 7 hour session about 2 weeks ago and did half of the color/shading work in a 3 hour session last night.

I have heard some people say that outlining is more painful, and others say color is worse. For me, the outline was far more painful than the color work. I don’t know if it was she shock of getting my first work done, but my outline session really took it out of me. I had a constant feeling of thirst and was drinking water like crazy, I was sweating, but my hands were cold and my hands are never cold. There were a few really tender spots, like the collarbone, elbow and armpit, but nothing that I couldn’t deal with.

I was much more relaxed for the color session and it was a much easier experience overall. It was more of a dull pain and my body did not have nearly the reaction that I had during my first session.

Its never been the pain that was a bother for me about getting inked. It was always the itching that follows.

The chest/pec area will definantly not hurt anywhere near as bad as ribs will…the thin skin on bone is what makes it so bad…if you are very thin in it will hurt more than normal on your chest but NOT as as ribs 🙂 I think the thickness of the skin on your chest/pec would be the equivalent of the skin on your lower back area and that wasn’t that bad for me….I actually fell asleep :p

Head has to be one of the worst. You can’t move a muscle to do anything while getting your head tattooed and the needle is hitting all bone. Anything other than that, I think should be a piece of cake. just keep your eyes, ears and brain distracted and it should be easy to handle.

no way thats not true, is it? haha

1. The best way to get a tattoo is to have plenty of rest, plenty of food and water in your system, and just be overall good to yourself. If you didn’t feel it, you didn’t earn it. Meditation during the tattoo works wonders to ease the mind and body.
2. If you want a facial tattoo, and you’ve considered all the consequences and reprocussions, then go for it. You are the only one who can say what is right for you, and you shouldn’t let other people’s opinion sway your independant thought. You are the only one that will have to live with it.
