rib tattoo (update #1)
#14349373 - 04/25/11 02:33 PM (12 years, 11 months ago) |

So I got my upper left arm (inner and outer) tattooed already, the inner hurt a lot more obviously. Tomorrow I'm going to get my left ribs tattooed, and the guy said it should take 3-4 hours at most.
Anyway I was fine with the other tats and I have a good pain tolerance, but I'm still a tiny bit psyched out from the many other people that have complained drastically about the pain. My only fear is that I puss out and have to wait a few weeks to come back and get it finished.
I need a pep talk yoooooo

I got this one, and I've got one on my back. Everyone told me it was going to hurt like hell, so I was expecting it to hurt a lot worse than it actually did. It wasn't bad.

they can be a little pricey, but some of the best work ive seen in asheville comes from them... i also like the guy who owns forever.. he does epic work - but also expensive..... theres a few artists here in the town i live in that do great work for really reasonable prices if your interested

any other time i would seek a cheaper place, but part of the reason i'm getting this tat now is so that i can remember i got it from asheville before i leave for a year or two. i know it's pricey but it's also so sentimental for me

I plan on getting my next tattoo on my ribs (I want my side to look torn open with clockwork inside)
but my last tattoo was on my chest and it hurt like a bitch, I'm REALLY not looking forward to the ribs

hahah uhhh.. depends.. do you consider New Jersey cool? I'm moving back for a bit to get a welding job - there ain't SHIT around here. It sucks leaving tons of friends and great music but it'll be nice to take a break from all the partying.

i'm not going to lie to you dude, ribs is REALLY painful. Pinch yourself on the side of your rib cage, thats what its going to feel like for the whole time.
if you look on the right side of the skull closely, you'll see theres a bit of shading not done, because i tapped out after about 3 hours. I could have sat through the last 30 minutes but i was fairly over it by then.
the outline is the worst part, just try to centre yourself and "go somewhere else in your mind" while the outline is being done. After that you should settle into the numbness of it, some parts of the shading are going to be painful, especially double coats or white highlights where they go over new areas. but just try not to focus on the pain, and focus on something else. Thats the best way to get through it.
Or you can just dunk a hell of a lot of pills or snort K. I said to the tattoo guy while he was working, i'm like "so if i had brought some ketamine in with me, you'd let me snort it right?" and he said "well yeah i would but your better off just coping with it, its not that bad"
if you really need a break jsut say to the guy hey i need to grab a cigarette, lets take a short break. or say i need to go get a drink or something from a cafe or service station or something. even just say take a break for a bit or something. Music helps too. bring your ipod or wahtever.
and besides, having a side rib tat is badass. and its good for showing off too, lifting up ur shirt and showing it off and all that.

Wow you guys were NOT exaggerating. That shit fucking HURT. In fact, I could not finish it all in one setting.. only got the outline done and a tiny bit of shading.
Here's what I have so far.. the Seed Of Life is only half finished, and all the roses and shit will be fully colored and shaded when I go back as well.
I'll come back and give an update when it's finished in a few weeks. BY THE WAY, does anyone have a tat that goes over a small mole? If you look very closely on the far left side of the Seed Of Life, you'll see a tiny white bump. The artist said it should not be as noticeable once the area settles down and heals.. I hope he's right.

nice tat. artists looks like he can do good work. black and grey is my favourite, i think too much colour in a tattoo ruins it, and it just becomes splodges of colour etc. add that to the troubles with fading, skin stretching, etc etc , means colour tats are not the best. Black and grey is the way to go ! its clearly defined, stands out and looks the best.
All of that shading in the centre would have CAINED man, haha. but thats really the worst of it , the rest of it shouldn't be too bad. If you sat through that part then you can sit through the rest of it for sure.
