Who are the tattoo junkies in the world of arbtalk?!

Haha thats cool!

 

Just had my 5th session in 5 days on my forearm/elbow ... anyone that says tattoos dont hurt has clearly never had outline work on the elbow, I discovered a new dimension of pain lol and my arm after this week is feeling raw!!

My guy uses his own home made guns as well which hurts a lot more than any of my other tattoos did anyway lol

Like this thread. have seen something similar on treehouse a few years ago and some really nice ink on display on both sites. have lots of ink myself-both arms sleeved,back piece,bits on my legs,stomach and chest piece, some on my neck and hands done aswell. still waiting to get something arb related though but do have something planned:thumbup1: As with some of the other guys on this thread have tunnels too, were at 26 but down sized to 20mm so they would fit under ear defenders lol. Had lots of piercings in the past but just have tunnels and my septum still done atm.

Sounds sick bro! Any idea on the number of hours you've had in total? With mine in total I'm at around 30hours...needs to be more haha addicted much

 

Once the sleeve is done its a big chest piece next for me!

 

I have to wear normal size extremely camp looking studs for 5 weeks before I can start the stretching. Only going to around 8-10mm though.

Haha, that's what I said! Then just carried on up to 20:D five weeks is a long time, probably took me that to get from fresh pierced up to 16mm

 

Reckon my hours are about 22 ish on tats

[will.morris]

Really??

 

I get the impression then that a piercers word is like a doctors word ... not always followed exactly I thought they'd take a lot longer to stretch than that

[Dan Curtis]

Yeah, I find if you wait until whatever you have in is loose and will turn easily, you should get a bigger one in.

 

That said, don't go mad and rush it, blowouts are rank!

[will.morris]

I just googled ear stretching blowout to see what you meant, yeh kinda wish I hadn't haha! Won't be rushing then...

I just got a new wooden plug for my ear after having a metal one for a few years, you get alot of cheesey puss build up with metal - it smells rank!

Wood or plastic is the way to go if you don't want the cheese!

This is phase one of a tat my friend's doing for me.
