So, when I get my sleeve, what pain should I expect? I hope I can sit for more than 2 hours......

Pain is all relative, but certain areas are going to be much more sensitive than others. Also, as you know by now, certain needles hurt a lot more. Outline needles are cake compared to shading needles. You're going to feel the elbow, crotch of the arm, and inner tricep the most probably. The closer to the armpit, the worse it is. Overall, it's well worth it though!

Word! I just wanted to get an idea what I was going to have to deal with. :thumb2:

Working on a Japanese-sock, have two pieces done so far. This on the outside of my calf, sorry for the crappy blurry cell pic. The gap you see is where some smoke will come through later.

This on the inside, just inside of my shin.

The back will likely get a samurai holding a severed head, or some other slighly different take on traditional Japanese art.

Thought it was about time to share my ink. The pics don't do it justice but both arms have full sleeves. And you can really see them well in my youtube vids, link in sig. Both arms are still getting more work done. I do photography for a tattoo shop and the past 4 months my photos have been published in Urban Ink magazine. I enjoy the world of Ink.

Left Arm (I have 2 hole type scars in my arm where the woman's neck is, so might look odd.)

i figure i can "safely" share this now. technically im not supposed to until after it is aired. i got this done for free by signing up for ink master and getting selected as a human canvas. i cant really say much else until the episode airs though

Have an appointment today to get my new son Marcus's name added to my left forearm right below his brother.
