What's worse?

1) A two hour tattoo on your ribs
2) Listening to Skrillex-like dub step cranked for two hours
3) Both

I had a mix on my phone cranked and had to keep pressing my earbuds in because I really needed to hear my music to get out of the pain zone and some other zone that's pleasant. Plus, the dub was so loud over my music, all I could hear at times was non-beatmatched stuff.

Oh well, the tat came out awesome. And yeah, rib tattoos hurt like a sumwhich. In fact, it still does two hours later...

I had a 7hr session on a poly half-sleeve I'm having done recently. Another 7hr booked in for December...

I love rib tats - but the are known to hurt like a bitch!

I've only got two now, both around 2 hours - one on my left chest, this one on the right ribs. I'm not sure how I'd deal w/ a 7 hour session...for my chest piece - I was really starting to get aggravated at the end. Just get this crap over with! It wasn't that it was overly painful. The ribs were a different story though. Seemed easy the first hour - some spots weren't bad at all, others were horrible. Then all the sudden no matter what he did and where it hurt. But the crazy thing is the pain even after the gun stopped. Skin just feels raw! Still this morning. Just washed it and it's just sensitive as hell.

You need to post pics of that sleeve when it's done dude.
