Featured Show me your sleeve tattoo's

Getting a sleeve tattoo this month going for a nautical theme...


Also having my daughters name over my shoulder...
Dreading the pain haha

Whats everyone else got and why?

 

Full Japanese sleeve...

 

Prepare yourself for lots and lots of pain like being stabbed with a compass.. :-(

 

Armpit and elbow were my personal favourites!!!!!!

 

I Am nervous about the pain i must admit. I was thinking about some numbing cream for the tender areas.
Anybody reccomend some?

 

Lmao yeah it's called deep heat XD

 

Im serious!! Im going to be doing this in 3 sessions at 7 hours each so anything that can help take the edge off is going to be a blessing!

 

I remember having mine..... I nearly died, but don't worry you'll be fine lol.

 

You'll only feel it for the first 2 or 3 hours then you'll go numb ..

 

and die!!!!

 

Thanks very much!!! Just want i want to read! Haha

Bepanthen put on afterwards keeps it lush..
