I've only got one tattoo (so far) and generally the pain level was okay. Except for the part on my chest just below my collarbone. That got spicy.

Yep I've been avoiding the chest! I can imagine it's pretty hardcore
Out of 10 I'd put that pain at about an 8. It's not overwhelming but it builds up over time and ends up feeling really sensitive.
I still can't wait for my next tattoo though 😊
Would you be comfortable with describing the tattoo you had done? I'm always curious about people's tattoos!
Yep it's massive, a realistic unicorn with black round it, around 7 inches big. I'm really pleased with it the guys amazing. What's your next one gonna be?
I want to get something by this artist: https://www.instagram.com/p/DGTCL4uMPTB
He does amazing dotwork images of plants and mushrooms. I'd like some kind of collection of those on my right shoulder.
They're nice work! Simple but detailed which is hard to do right, he makes clever use of the dots. Don't think you can go wrong with him!
It was not my shoulder blade, or calf for sure… I slept through both of those.
It was the inside of my bicep as it wrapped onto the backside of the bicep. I congratulated the artist and told them that they were the first to bring a single tear to my eye during a session.
About a year before that I had a 5 hour session with no breaks, that artist said he was surprised I never wanted a break. I told him I always let the artist dictate the breaks.
