I got my first tattoo in the middle of my chest. The initial pain was pretty overwhelming as I had no idea what to expect. After that, like most people have said it was annoying. I have 1 on each of my calves and those were nothing. I have a half sleeve and it too was nothing, though the healing on my shoulder was pretty annoying. I got my stomach done and it hurt in the annoying sense too. I'm in the process of getting my ribs finished and it too was extremely annoying. I can deal with the pain easy enough, but after 3 hours of having your ribs done it gets really, really annoying. Unfortunately the guy doing my ribs hasn't been working in the industry too long ( 6 years or so) so he's not super quick so I know I have about 2 more hours left before it's finally done. Which is actually this friday, I hope to post a picture when it's done.

Re: Did it hurt when yall 1st got ur tats?
fucc that... when i got Cuz tatted on my arm i was smokkin some dro while it was bein done and I didnt feel shit.... but then again it could be different for other pplWhiteBoy wrote:i got my stomach done, at it hurt like a GDMFSOB! it basically feels like some one is rapidly chisleing up your skin. but it is addictive and im going back, have one of your homies hook u up with some Vics and ull be strait if you feel like it hurts too much, don't drink cause youill bleed and don't smoke weed cause it takes away the endorphins that are naturally released in your body and it will be much worse, but after the fact do what ever homie.

Re: Did it hurt when yall 1st got ur tats?
I just got 2 more pieces done in August at the Calgary Tattoo Convention by the same artist in one 9 hour sitting with an hour break in between. Pain wise, like I said before, it was nothing and hardly even annoying. My arm was stiff once we were done, and my upper arm bled like a mother but that was about it. I'd like to post pics but I don't come here enough anymore to bother but they are on my facebook page if anyone cares to add me.
Re: Did it hurt when yall 1st got ur tats?
honestly it depends on the person..

Re: Did it hurt when yall 1st got ur tats?
Although it may feel different went you get tattoo'd over top of bone, the needle itself isn't hitting bone. At least it never SHOULD. Your skin is a lot thicker then you think and even in the thinnest of places (elbow, knee, head) it never actually hits the bone. Though on places like ribs and collar bone it does have a different feeling and it tends to vibrate through your body. When I got my ribs done, I could feel it shake through my chest. I got my inner arm done by my armpit and there's a nerve there that runs down your inside chest and you get phantom feelings all down there. I also had a part of my upper shoulder that shook up through my collar bone and into my neck and jaw. It felt strange having my jaw vibrate because my arm was getting tattoo'd. The arm itself was fine and my jaw started to get soar. It was weird.Mcminister wrote:jst picture this first timer....

Re: Did it hurt when yall 1st got ur tats?
My dad does tats and the first one's i got where on both arms on tricep bicep area, and i didnt feel it, since then i've got both lower arms done to rep Tampa and wrists, I also got my knuckles and upper back done. None of em really hurt, any pain i had was like a second or two long after the initial hit from the needle it was all good from there bro, if you been stabbed or had a bone broke before and you took it pretty good, then you'll be aight.

Re: Did it hurt when yall 1st got ur tats?
Yea you could be right man i had my boy ray ray do a tat with a home made gun but those things go deeper then pro guns do, and it had a sting to it compared to the ones my dad did. It could be the tat artist plus equipment, and the fact theres so many different types of needles, but home mades usually just use one type.

What shop does your Dad work at? I got a friend in Tampa that owns a shop there and just outside Tampa in Plant City. He did my last two at a convention this summer.Dime357 wrote:My dad does tats and the first one's i got where on both arms on tricep bicep area, and i didnt feel it, since then i've got both lower arms done to rep Tampa and wrists, I also got my knuckles and upper back done.
