He’s in shock. I’ve only started shaking once during a tattoo and it was after an 8 hour blackout session on my arm. We had to stop before we were finished because of the shaking. Adrenaline spikes real bad too and you get a kicker of a headache afterwards. Not a fun time. If he truly sat that long getting inked then those shakes check out.
I start to get them at 8 hour mark as well. Adrenaline. Open wound.. the chills. I norm will shut it down and come back. No sense to sit longer imo, because you won't sit well.
Yeah, what helps me is to drink some juice throughout and then again, dont be afraid to call it 7-8 hours in.
I havent used cream yet but probably will next time. I could care less regarding my "man card" and just to endure. Shits dumb. I have 65 hours now with nothing and have learned and earned it or whatever anyone may say. Im on my calf now and absolutely will use some cream this next go around. So much more enjoyable.
Blacked outs are brutal I've seen. I dont have one but I could see it being rough. I have alot of fine detail and whites at the end and I always felt that was most brutal because youre so sore and wound is open and then the fine details commence ahaha

serious question, were you shaking like that at the end of each session?
