Shin tattoo this afternoon, hold my hand.

[dreambeavers]

Argh, I fucking hate tattoos on bone.

I've had the other shin done so I know what to expect, but fuck me I know I'm going to either cry or faint. 😂

My pain threshold does not extend to shin/spine tattoos.

Just posting for a hand hold.

Go to the pharmacy and buy some Emla cream.

What you having done!?!?!?! Sorry nosy.

Is it the vibrating on the bone that is the problem or just the knowledge its almost direct on bone (never had shin, but my hip bone was an experience)

Don't have it done then!

Hand hold here 🙋
My tattooist told me about a young lady who wanted a shin tattoo, he got halfway through and she bolted, couldn't take the pain, he wistfully wondered what ever happened to her, shook his head and chuckled.
It's gonna hurt, you know that, you can handle it, you got this!
Upload a photo after, I'm totally invested

I can't do emla, it only lasts 2hrs and then the pain is massively amplified, this is a 6hr sitting!

My other shin I had to have a 10 minute lie down on the floor because I literally went green and was cold sweating so much that she couldn't carry on. I did manage to pull it together, but it was rough!

I'm having a folky black and white tree and fire thing. If I survive I'll post it!

Yeah it's the feeling of the needle vibrating on the bone 🤮

Lucozade sport helped me with my shin tattoo!!! Get a few bottles to keep you going x

Why do it then? Seems a bit odd given the stress.

Not a tattoo fan? This is the tattoo topic!

I had a big colour tattoo on my ribs for my second ever tattoo and I thought I was about to die the whole time 😂

Hopefully you’re surviving and have a good supply of snacks to get you through! Can’t wait to see when it’s done 😁
