    The tattoo I have now is a coverup over one I had in the past .
    The first one was not too bad , and the pain was pretty manageable .
    The coverup however was a whole different story ! A "dragon in a cloud" It turned into a sort of sleeve that extends from the wrist to the elbow , but , it is basically only on the top of the arm. But, the THREE AND A HALF HOURS that it took to do it was a test of will! !! We finally had to stop for a few minutes , and the artist suggested that we take a breather , and get my head back into finishing the artwork. The worst of that pain was on the underside of the arm near the wrist , where the artist was pushing against the bone .
    But, I figured that I had gone that far , I just as well finish what I started so that I wouldn't have to sit through another session . I think one of the worst parts of the second tattoo was the addition of the colors . And, there is a lot of COLOR in this one . Darkening the colors required the artist to stay in one place for longer than usual, like "filling in the holes" .I have a pretty high tolerance to pain, but this pushed my limits .

      @@vidushivishni9662 I got four tiny tattoo’s (shoulder, upper arm, hip and collarbone). I was nervous at first, but to my surprise it really didn’t hurt at all! The tattoo on my hip was kinda uncomfortable, but I wouldn’t call it pain. And also, each tattoo didn’t take longer than 10 minutes!

    My advice if you're getting a big piece, try and do shorter sessions if your tattoo artist is ok with that. I just did a 9 hour session on my upper right arm and that shit was complete torture. Specially towards the end, my nerves were shot. The pain won't ever hurt less, but the longer you go, the less your body will be able to tolerate it. I've done a total of 34 hours of getting tattoo'd in my life, and it hasn't gotten any easier. Also, noise cancelling headphones and music will help the first few hours. Get adrenaline from your favorite music. Good luck to yall! I have one more 8 hour session left and I'm dreading it lol.

    What I've realized as well is an experienced artist can tell if thier client is in too much pain. If they can see the client is restless and fidgeting and not saying anything about the pain they usually say "let's take a quick break".

    I have experience. Both arms full sleeves and I have just finished a full back tattoo of 36 hours work for a Japanese dragon done in sessions of up to 4 hours. However, NOTHING prepared me for the pain of finishing that back piece by framing the work on my backside. Two and a half hours on the left cheek was all I could take. And that side is only half done! To say I’m not looking forward to the rest is an understatement. 😮

    I have arms legs chest back neck covered since 2010. I'm a former cyclist so pain is familiar to me. The neck is top pain for me. You have to get a mindset that you must go thru the pain and remain still in order to get the best possible outcome. The results will be worth it. Do not think about what's being done. Instead go to a place that will ignore the pain. That is up to each individual. I'm also against long sessions since you are putting a lot of stress to the heart and nervous system. My sessions are 2 hours long. Control your breathing. Deep breaths in as needle goes in, let it out when it stops. Wash rinse repeat.

      I've used in the past it's dope. It definitely can wear out after anywhere from 45mins-2 hours...and then the pain hits hard. But, there are spots that have been numbed for hours after I'm done.
      It doesn't take away 100% of the pain either, you still feel the pressure and the searing of the needle, just not the red hot bite of it all, if that makes sense.
      And, no, it doesn't affect the final product despite what people will harp on about.

    The real secret that nobody speaks out loud is Percocets - it's a rare person who can sit for multi-hour sessions without some kind of pain med - I mean eventually you can't avoid the headache that comes with being under a needle for a long time - I think the best non-drug solution is to just have patience and book shorter sessions and just keep working on bigger pieces doing multiple short sessions over a longer time and not try to "bang out" sleeves or back pieces in one sitting like a maniac - tattoos are all about time and not about rushing things
