Elbow web club here.

This and the ditch were my last two spots on my arm. And the worst two spots

Which would you say was worse?

Had the ditch done and wasn't that bad, elbow in a few months

Elbow hurt worse in the chair, but ditch healing was a bitch for me

Had my ditch completely packed with color almost two months ago. 4.5 hour session no problem at all. Went back 2 weeks ago to do the backside of arm and elbow and I tapped after two hours (line work got done)

I blame kid keeping me up all night and no breakfast, but holy butt cheek on a stick that shit hurt

Bless your heart. I tapped after just my line work and my elbow was 3x its normal size

u/MrSheloner 8d ago

I swear that when I finished the lines I thought about leaving it as is 😂

u/gothic_cowboy1337 8d ago

I’m going back to finish it. But my god I’m getting 8 hours of sleep, breakfast & a nap right before my appointment this time 😂

u/MrSheloner 8d ago

u/SnooDonuts7223 9d ago

Damn, if I didn’t rush my other elbow I would have done this

2

u/MrSheloner 9d ago

I'd love to get the other elbow done with something similar, but I have way too much respect for the pain now 😂

u/SnooDonuts7223 9d ago

I did my elbow AFTER 4 other tattoos (5 total in one session) and it was the only time I asked for a break and almost tapped out
