Looking to do a sleeve soon actually mate. Just want a few more guys added to my chest first.
What's the worst part of the arm for you? I've heard elbow and inner upper arm? |

"Both sleeves done didn't find elbow bone to bad but as said earlier top of arm by arm pit was a major awwie  "
i think what makes it worse is not only is it quite a sensitive area anyway you have to sit with your arm over your head for 2 hours at a time, by the time the sitting had finished my arm was numb and i had to lift it off my head with my other hand happy days |

"Wish I'd not seen this! Booked in for a half this week "
Just take a few cans of red bull and a few bars of chocalate as the constant pain although not unbearable gets sore because it's constant and can make you very week. Don't go for more than three hours as it's usually after 2& a half that I'm begging for it to end lol!!!! |

All tattoo's hurt.
What differs between us is our pain thresholds, whilst a certain area may hurt for one person may not hurt at all for another. We are all different, because of this everbodys pain endurance differs. My sleeve goes as far down to the palm of my hand and right into my arm pit.
For me the biggest pain area was across my arterial vein towards my palm, and I had the elbow done in the same day and it just didn't compare at all. My sleeve had 36 hours work in total which I sat in 6 hour sittings.
If your looking to numb pain a little try a cream called EMLA available from your local chemist, designed specifically for tattooing
Also eat plenty and drink plenty.

Omg no way! That's sooooo awful!
It's also really annoying when, you find an artist you love.... And can no longer use them, as is your case! |

Due to LLL and sending pics, I'm sorely getting tempted or may be another mid life crisis to either get a new one or just add to my leg one...Maybe add some more flowers and add butterflies or maybe a humming bird?....Ideas? And No I do not make these decisions lightly before anyone says something |

Im getting one designed by my artist for my thigh at the moment. Countess bathory in a bath of blood surrounded by murdered women chained to a wall and moonlight coming through a window reflecting off the blood I have a full back piece of the priest from the exorcist being burned at the stake surrounded by demonic nuns with demon cherubs and other gothic images all in shades of black |

"Started my half sleeve over xmas, just need the money for more! only had outside upper done so far, not looking forward to inside!!"
It hasn't been the worst part believe it or not, the inside sensitive part of the elbow was a bitch and still more work needed there which I'm not looking forward too  |
