The stomach is going to hurt significantly worse. Fair warning.
Do I understand this correctly? You are going to have the artist take his machine and his little sharp needle...you're going to get all nervous and pumped...then you're going to have him stick you painfully and repeatedly with NOTHING to show for it except a built in stencil? I would advise against that...just my opinion.payo809 wrote:Can anyone tell me how much more pain there is in getting something like an arm tattoo than one across the stomach?

Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller) actually had that done, just to see what the pain was like without getting an actual tattoo. He had it done on his inner forearm, but was repeatedly told the pain of the dry needle was far worse than if there was ink. If I remember the article correctly, it was because the ink also lubricated the needle a bit.Jadesauce wrote:Do I understand this correctly?

that's why you use distilled water when you bloodline. never run a machine dry.Rider68 wrote:Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller) actually had that done, just to see what the pain was like without getting an actual tattoo.

I think I've heard of people doing it that way as a form of scarification...?Aivanne wrote:that's why you use distilled water when you bloodline. never run a machine dry.Rider68 wrote:Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller) actually had that done, just to see what the pain was like without getting an actual tattoo.

this chick came in to get a throat piece. first tattoo. didn't complain once.
Dude, don't worry about the pain. Get a tattoo if you want one.
My last session I thought I was going to shit on myself, piss on myself, vomit on myself and pass out all at the same time!! Could have been my lunch, could have been the pain of the tattooing. I took ten minutes in the bathroom, drank some warm water and sat back down for another 2 hours (9 total).
At the end of the day I got some world-class ink from one of the best in the world and the suffering has been forgotten.

So you're saying this tattoo session either resembled a violent case of the flu or the beginning stages of labor...fun times! lolhgiles wrote:My last session I thought I was going to shit on myself, piss on myself, vomit on myself and pass out all at the same time!!
