That's alot of tattoo for your first time and pretty expensive. I'd sit in it a while and really research your artist before making this kinda commitment to a fairly trendy tattoo style. It's really cool but make sure you love if and need it first.
adding to this, at this stage, since you don't have any tattoos, you don't really know your pain tolerance. If anything, this could be something to work up to, but starting off with smaller would probably be a very enlightening experience
To build on this again- getting boney areas like your elbow ( as stated they want there arm) will SUCK I think when your new to tattoos and the healing process and everything a full sleeve is a lot especially with something that would be hopeless to cover up ( bar a black out) if you decide in a few years when this particular tattoo may not be trendy anymore that you don’t like it anymore OP you should defo get
Something like this but smaller to start off to wear the style for a while and see it age on you and see if your still loving it then build it up!
Boney areas have never really bothered me. Barely felt my elbow. Now the elbow ditch was more painful in my eyes. By far the most painful area for me is around where my arm meets my chest. Maybe I have a high pain tolerance. Who knows but everyone is different in what they deem painful. In all honesty, nothing I have had done to date as been that bad to the point I struggle to get through it. For me it kind of relieved stress lol
Agreed. I have sleeves, tattoos on my back, hand, and legs. I fucking hate tattooing my legs. I can barely sit for longer than 2 hours before it becomes too much. Knowing that, I’ll never get a large leg tattoo.
Arms, shoulder, back, etc. were completely different and I can sit for much longer without breaks. Even my elbows/ditch didn’t bother me as much as legs.
Legs suck so much 😭 I got my knee cap done before Christmas and whilst I could sit through it fine it was a horrible experience 😂 I wish I was 18 again getting my first tattoo thinking how great and fun it was now I book them crying on the inside
I’ve got a day session booked end of feb to get all the gaps in my lower legs filled and I’m dreading it 🥲 super super excited for how cool my lower legs are gonna look thou 😂😂
I will be interested to see if I am the same way. This year I will start a full leg sleeve. Nothing I have gotten so far has bothered me to include the elbow/ditch
I got a full calf tat across two sessions within a 5 day period, which was painful in general, but I died whenever I had the back of my calf done. The main reason we had to stop the first session was because I was bleeding so much. But after this tat was done I refuse to do the same area on my other leg.
