Got my neck piece done a couple days ago.
I have a relatively low pain threshold but I've never gotten so close to stopping in the middle of getting work done. I'm not sure if it was all the breaks we had to take to do one side then the other (because the more we stop the sorer I become) or if it was the area... three separate stencils... do one side then flip.. new stencil.. do one side then flip and so on. by the fifth break when we reached under my jaw I couldn't stop shaking and my face was twitching involuntarily. It was really embarrassing to appear so weak. I don't mind admitting that I had trouble getting through something but my artist was getting frustrated because I was shaking so badly. At least it turned out pretty good. May have to go in for touch ups (dread)!

Some places hurt more than others, also the time you spend being tattooed, the worst it becomes, I did both feet and my lower back in the same day, all in all it was about 7h or 8h with a dinner break, the second foot was terrible to do after a while and the lower back at first was easy as pie but near the end was TERRIBLE. But I managed and it's done xD
Also, thank you for your support in my set!
