Mekatra Where on your arm was your hyena done? Forearm or upper?
I was told that the forearm is a pretty sensitive place. It literally felt like I was being skinned.
I think my artist might've been heavy handed, too, so that could've definitely played a big part in why it sucked SOOOOOOO much, haha.
She actually brought up the numbing stuff, so I think if I ever got work done on my arm again I would totally use that.

sylvan My sister said it hurt around her wrist, and described it like a constant wasp sting. Pretty similar pain experience, in my opinion, mine just happened to take 45 minutes longer, haha. The wrist area was definitely the worst part for me.
Your side tattoo is awesome, and so spooky! I was wondering if upper arm hurt, cause it is a meatier part of your body.
People were saying since the whole black part was pretty much shading that's also another reason why it probably sucked, lol.
I was actually squeezing a pusheen plushie keychain in my arm being tattooed and grabbing my SO's leg, hand, arm, whatever. Still was terrible, haha.

Den Oh mannn, did the wrist suck for you? She barely went to my wrist but it was still horrible. How about the shoulder blade and calf area? I was thinking of those for future tattoos q_q

Quiet I don't think numbing creams would affect it much. My artist actually suggested it, haha. She also used some on me after the lineart. It was amazing. Whenever she brought the needle(s) close to the numbed areas, I almost didn't feel it. So there were brief moments of peace...very brief.
I'm sorry you can't get any D: I hope things work out so that one day you can :)
That's totally awesome she lets her color it in xD

SparX hey booty-ful. ;*
Yeah, my artist suggested a numbing cream to put on an hour before, and actually used one after my lineart.
I totally get what you mean. I've never been one to self harm so it really just wasn't doing anything pleasant for me x___x I've heard of people who enjoy the pain, but I guess I'm just a big wimp-o.
