People with tattoos

What does it feel like while your getting it?

[magmonkey]

it depends on where you get it done

tougher areas like outside the arm feel like someone is giving you and indian sunburn

more sensitve areas can hurt quite a bit more

after 10-15 minutes it doesnt really hurt its just one of those pains you know is there but dont really....hurt....umm..yeah get it lol

it does hurt though if you have like 3 hours done and then the artist takes a 30 minute break. your arm becomes tender and when you get back.....but still worth all the pain

christ. he starts a thread about asking for prices on tattooing, and he gets a history lesson.

*insert swear words and cursing here* people. [thank you army] its not your body. dont worry what he wants go get. he asked for prices on the work, not opinions of it.


slipknot. my tattooist charges $75/hr. I get my tattoo work for free because I do computer work for him and some webdesign for him. barter system.

Now depending on where you go around here, it ranges from $100 to $200 an hour. i am sure if you check around you, you will see fluxuating prices as well. the place I go to is a private studio, not a storefront studio like many around here are. all of them do a decent job of work, my tatttooist included (of course, otherwise I would not have 3 tattoos from him)

depending on the size of the tattoo, will depend on how long it takes. I recently finished up one of my tattoos, and it was about 7 hours in the chair, took 2 sittings to finish.

the tattoo is about 11 inches tall on my calf and about 5 inches in total width. wraps around my shin to side of my calf. scroll towards the bottom, its the piece entitled "autumn"

so. good luck in whatever you get. dont let other peoples opinions on what you want sway you from getting your tattoo.
