jhulud Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 My Koi tattoo (which you can see pics of on my Myspace) took a total of 14+ hours. It was spread out over a few sessions of 3-4 hours each one. Sidenote...during one of the sessions, it required me to be lying down on the table (the tattoo is on my entire right leg below the knee) and I fell asleep for a good hour or so...for some odd reason the feel of the needle while the piece was being colored and shaded lulled me to sleep...I had also not gotten any sleep the night before so that helped...One girl who was getting tattooed also commented to me that she has no idea how I could have fallen asleep while getting tattooed...

lokithelion Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 My longest was 2 hours. I've only got three tattoos though and they're pretty small. My lady though just sat through a good five hours. Shit looks hot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fell asleep when I was getting stuff done on my ankle years ago. The dude started buggin thinking I passed out.

kurtmanner Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 4 1/2: It looks way better in person, blah blah blah, that whole deal. It felt like having my underarm squeezed with pliers the whole time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambomb Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 kinda weird angles, but you can get the idea. More or less its a memorial piece for a great friend who passed away 5 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ps Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 6 hours one sitting.... fucking painful. 55-60 hours (total) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericxthexred Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 my arm was a total of about 25 hours or so, but the longest sitting for that was only about 5 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Dude, I like how he used different thickness for the line work. How was that key on you're shin? Its a weird feeling when you go along that flesh/bone line in the middle of you shin. Kinda the same feeling you get when someone scratches a chalkboard with their fingernails. Be sure to update pics as it progresses. BTW... who's your artist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Everyone's look rad. I've always wanted some tats, but have never been able to find something I'd definitely want forever. I have a bunch of piercings that I love dearly, but I just can't decide on a piece of art that I want on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddle350 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I'm going in to get something this weekend. A shop around here does a toys for tattoos drive. Bring a $20 toy in and get a $60 piece of flash. I have big plans for other stuff just not enough money saved up for them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of some of the clouds, everything was double outlined , which was no biggie. The Key wasn't bad at all, except at the top where theres just knee meat, that shit felt great this morning, haha. He was very particular about the outline being just the right thickness so the background really pops once colored in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
