Nice. You chose a good spicy part of the body to get your first one as well, inside of the forearm isn't super fun.
Well you will all will probably die of liver failure in the near future. Maybe from Alcohol or tattoos. Whichever one gets you first. I have seen Tokyo Vice where all the Yakuza start dying from full body ink. Kind of cool actually. I mean, I don't understand the need for body ink. I guess I am quite comfortable in my body, but if that's your thing then more power to you. I mean Shady is a total weirdo. As weird as he is, this definitely isn't the weirdest thing he has done. I doubt it will even register in the top ten.
Cue forward 10 years and he will probably look like Jelly Roll or Post Malone with bike Tattoos all over his face. Now that would be something.
It's the off season. People get bored. I am going about this in a different way. We have bought an infra red outdoor sauna for the back garden and hired a contractor to lay the concrete so that everything is pitched properly. I can think of worse things to waste your money on.
That on top of having to fix my battered car and it's going to be an expensive summer.

Interesting. Mine wasn’t bad at all there. The shading on the outer forearm still hurts occasionally, though. Something to do with histamine apparently. Gets bumpy and sore/itchy.
Upper arm near the armpit and sternum (lots of shading again) were the absolute be all end all of pain though.
My artist started using saniderm (I think that’s what it’s called) a couple of years ago, apparently designed for burns. Light years better for healing than a dressing/bit of cling film.
This is making me want to get some more work done.Yeah, I'd say it hurt about as much as I thought it would i.e. Bearable, but nothing you'd ever choose to do for fun.
I hope @JimShady you replied to Mrs. Shady something along the lines of
"Not again. My arm is not the fucking telly you know".
Very good.
If ever you spot a missing Cycle Path sign, you can now simply raise your arm.
I mean, fine. And all that. Whatever makes you happy.
This hasn't made me think that my skin needs to be a temple to body art.
Agreed on inner bicep, that shit made me rethink all my life choices. That was less than a 3 hour sitting and I was genuinely traumatized after by the experience. I actually found the elbow, both outer and ditch, less painful than everyone had told me. Haven't done chest but I'm informed that parts of it are miserable. I have one on my ribs and that actually wasn't bad.
My guy uses Saniderm as well (they also market it as Second Skin) and agreed it's massively better than the old vaseline and clingfilm dressing. Can be annoyingly painful to remove though.
The good thing is that no one is trying to persuade you that it should be. Tattoos are an entirely personal thing done for entirely personal reasons. I've no doubt that my love of them is rooted in the same place as my love of going to the gym, which is a moderate case of body dysmorphia.
There are no words.
Is that the stuff that's mashed up prawn shells?
It's scary how Tricky and I seem to end up on the same wavelength way more than we should. And I'm not even autistic... Uh oh....

Don't think so. It's a clear film with an adhesive that softens under hot water and can be peeled off sensitive or healing skin without damaging it.
Former colleague of mine got a lower leg sleeve (think that's the correct terminology) and the tattooist had warned him about the pain around his shin.
Apparently he remembers that section starting, him thinking 'Fuck me, that hurts', and then the tattooist tapping his face gently while trying to wake him.
Either passed out or got rohypnol'd - he didn't specify.
Seeking out pain is a lot more understandable than having tattoos. There's websites for it, and everything.
I am led to believe.
