It's been hot AF and humid in NY. You'll be suffering in a hoody.

Quick question for those who can help.

I'll be in NY getting a sleeve done by a guest artist for 3 days straight in October

For the healing process, should I just go back home (3 hr drive back home) and rest or can I stay in NY and explore for a few days?

I dont want to risk getting my tattoo infected so im just wondering. I do plan on wearing a baggy hoodie when I go out and properly washing the tattoo at the hotel.

Probably best to wrap it when you head out exploring.

However if you're having long sessions on back to back days you will probably feel pretty beat up after day 2 (Unless you have serious pain tolerance)

You done this type of sitting before??

Take some meds with you g

Let us know how it goes though. I'm considering doing the same for my other arm.

 

[blastercombo]

Dude you better stuff your face before and after each session. Body gonna be on E

 

[Remy LeBeau]

Pack sweet snacks for your session. Water and a sweet drink too.

Ask the artist if he can put tegaderm on it after the final session. Since it’s back to back days you can’t get the tegaderm applied after each session. It heals way quicker and smoother with tegaderm. Makes it easy to keep clean too.

You'll be fine. Just don't go swimming, work out nor sit in the sun and expose the tattoo. Other than that, you should be fine to do whatever you want.

I regret getting cheap work in my teens. Now that i got the funds i get grade A stuff. Got a cheap lil japanese style sleeve i plan on going the full black half sleeve to cover as mentioned above.ive been checkning it for a wile nowand even if arm was free i would proly still get it done. I actually like it. Anyone has any of that done yet?

social justice warriors are gonna claim this is black face light

 

[retroflashbacks]

Man, the tattoo bug got me! It’s been almost 5 years since my last piece and I think I’m going for a hand piece.

I’m lucky to be in a company where tattoos at work are pretty normal and i have the option to wfh indefinitely anyway. Been toying with this idea for the last 2 years.

 

[Remy LeBeau]

I'm booked for a session in December. Tryna get as much of my forearm covered as possible during.

 

[Bosa]

Forgot to post. Got some praying hands on the back of my neck last month. Really want to finish my japanese sleeve. From elbow up. But still undecided on what to do. Get one full piece or a couple/few small pieces

 

[Extrait de Minimalisme]

Last session (I believe) on my right sleeve this Thursday. Two completely full sleeves and now I’m ready for a full chest/belly piece. Also, little knick nack stuff on my legs from my travels.

ink my whole body 4 life.

Stomach tat ain’t no joke. Line work put me on my ***. Get it colored this weekend and I’m not looking forward to it

 

[HellRazor1978]

I got some new ink this weekend. Covered up one of my old tats with a new half sleeve of roses. Before pic:

Yoooo! I can’t lie I almost peed on myself getting the white put in on my stomach

I really laid there and was like “why did I ask for this?”

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Anyone know what the bottom piece is called on his forearm?
I know the top piece is the atlas.

Looking to get something similar

Make sure you wraps your arm up and you should be good. You probably can't wash it until the next morning anyway. Just make sure you don't expose it to the sun.

 

[Extrait de Minimalisme]

I gotta smoke, pop ibuprofen and/or have a beer about an hour or two before my sessions. If not, I feel every single poke.

 

[Mark Antony]

I thought things like pain killers would act as a blood thinner and make it worse, if not I might give it a go. The last set of line work on my arm had me tapping out.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Here's a video of my sleeve from this past March. Took 5 sessions, 1 session every 4 weeks. Started the process in November 2020 and finished March 2021. Each session was on average 4.5hrs long. Only took only 1 break each session, which lasted 5 mins. This was not cheap

Unless you have a medical condition you’ll be fine.

Artist out here will clown you and put you on blast for using things to mask pain

Of course but They want to get paid or not? The whole “earning your tattoo” thing sounds lame. You earn it by dropping that cash

 

[$tatus $ymbol]

Edibles and cereal milk got me through my last session. Idk if my pain tolerance lowered bc I’m getting older but whew it was pretty painful.
