Just wondering do peoples session times get longer with each tat or is there a point each person can take or I guess it is also dependant on the artists skill?

I did 7 hours and then the next day another 6 hours over the same places but I could have gone longer no problem but my artist got tired.

I will admit it hurt a lot more than I thought it would lol

Just wondering about other peoples experiences.

I’m a total wuss, 4-5 hours is my limit. I’ll sit for as long as is needed for my piece at the time.

How come your artist went over the same spot the following day? Is the rule not to let it heal then go for round two? That’s the way it’s always worked fro me…..:confused:

Maybe because of the distance I travelled to him, drove from London to Poland or maybe he did the outline the first day and the shading the second? I didn’t even check as it was covered.

Either way it was fine as it was completely healed within a week.

I will sit for as long as I need to. I sat 6-7 hours for my last tattoo and I have two 6-8 hour sittings booked mid-March. I’m always traveling a good distance to my artist so I just want to get the piece done.

i sat for 15 hours on ribs and stomach but I have hurt after 4-5 hours before, depends, there are many variables, how is your head, are you feeling great, mentally psyched and ready, is your body ready, rested, hydrated, well fed, what part are you working on, what position are you in, I got cramps last week on 5 hour tattoo, cramps in legs hurt……………..lots of variables………….best thing you can do is cover all these bases the best you can and you will have as good a session as possible

Ive done a 9hr session and next day 6hr session. I also drove 8hrs straight and started a tattoo at 630pm, finished at 430am and the day after flew to las vegas for a 5hr session. My whole mentality is pain is temporary but tattoos are a lifetime so i just try to deal with it.
