What's the most painful tattoo you've ever got? (lazysoci.al)

Had the back of my arm done yesterday, thought it would be a cake walk but I felt nauseous at points. Did the last half hour with my head on the bench deep breathing. Feel burnt out today

I've only got one tattoo (so far) and generally the pain level was okay. Except for the part on my chest just below my collarbone. That got spicy.

Yep I've been avoiding the chest! I can imagine it's pretty hardcore

Out of 10 I'd put that pain at about an 8. It's not overwhelming but it builds up over time and ends up feeling really sensitive.

I still can't wait for my next tattoo though 😊

Would you be comfortable with describing the tattoo you had done? I'm always curious about people's tattoos!

Yep it's massive, a realistic unicorn with black round it, around 7 inches big. I'm really pleased with it the guys amazing. What's your next one gonna be?

I want to get something by this artist: https://www.instagram.com/p/DGTCL4uMPTB

He does amazing dotwork images of plants and mushrooms. I'd like some kind of collection of those on my right shoulder.

They're nice work! Simple but detailed which is hard to do right, he makes clever use of the dots. Don't think you can go wrong with him!
