It's Winter Now Which Officially Means It's Tattoo Season.
I Have No Tattoo's At The Moment But I Have Been Considering Getting Some For Awhile And I Already Know What I Want.
A Pretty Well Known Artist In My Area Offered To Do My Half Sleeve's For A Very Good Deal. Both Of My Arms Will Be Completely Covered With Ink From My Shoulder To A Bit Past My Elbows. My Session Is Next Thursday.
Can Some Of You Give Me Some Of The Pros And Cons Of Having Tattoos?
Also Can Any Of You Guys Share Your Tattoo Experiences With Me?

Yeah It's Better To Get Tatted In The Winter......Because It Allows The Tattoos To Adequately Heal Without The Rigors Of The Summer Sun Light. -
o ok

Yeah, I was considering full sleeves but I figured I might as well see how I like the half sleeves first.
Not To Mention I doubt I could handle the pain of being tatted on the elbow.
IM VERY SKINNY. -

lol @ that being in caps.
I think that's a good plan. You doing both arms at once or trying one before you get the other one done? -
Just got my 5th one last week
Best advice is to be careful after you get it
Keep it clean...wash with anit bac soap 2x's a day , use A&D ointment afterwards for a couple of days ... then Luberderm lotion
Do not pick at the tat or mess with the scabs
Keep out of sun as much as possible... I agree winter is the best time of year to get a tat -
wait you are doing your whole sleve at once??? shading/coloring and all ???
good lawd that is gonna HURT and take FOREVER. My last one is about 3x3 inches and it took almost 4 hours -

Probably Both At Once If I Can Take All That Pain In One Session.......My Arms Aren't Really That Big So It Isn't That Much Ink Being Put On. Just 3 Separate tattoos on each sleeve and the rest background ? ....I should probably be able to do it in one session.... -

Believe me no sleeve can be done in one sitting and it's not about being able to take the pain. Unless JJ is thinking of getting a collage of nonsense. -
