8 plus hours.
Everyones pain thresholds are different.
I've tattooed people for like 15 minutes and they are literally crying.
I've tattooed people for 4/5 hours and they barely bat an eyelid.
There's always numbing cream, to make things a little easier. But By the end of the first hour. It's pretty much back to normal. |

Breaks can be counter productive.
It always feels like it hurts more, when you have a break.
If you can stand it, I always advise to work through.
Obviously for some people. That's not possible.
But it's better if you can.

we have a friend who would sit all day he's literally covered head to toe.
We've never used numbing cream as neither of us have needed it I like the pain but 2 hours of it is enough for me.
The wife didn't flinch when she had her first on her foot,while ppl were fanning me with towels in the corner to cool me down lol |

My last one was about 10 hours split over 3 sessions, about 3.5 hours a session. First one was agony, I really don't know how I got through it. The next 2 were fine. Weird how a slightly different body location makes such a difference. |

5 hours without a break
And I felt like I’d been hit by a train.
2/3 hours is much more comfortable.
The whole dick swinging contest of who can sit the longest is bollocks, if you try to push yourself, the longer you go, the more you’ll move and you’ll end up with a worse tattoo.
Stick to your own pain threshold, it’s there for a reason. |

No dick swinging going on here  if it was I'd have lost hands down with out a doubt. just a simple question wots the longest some ppl can sit for. 5 hours would make me call ambulance and put them on standby lol |
