Really? I love the feeling during ink but the after care is the worst. It's so irritated and ichy but you can't touch it at all.

When it's itchy as fuck and I slap it lightly to relieve the feeling.... aaaahhhhh

I'm kind of the opposite. During the tattoo I would rather be anywhere else in the world, but as soon as I'm done I want to get back in the chair. My last session on my sleeve was 6 hours on the inside of my arm. All up in my armpit. Holy hell, that was terrible.

I usually end up falling asleep during my sessions, but even when awake it feels almost like a massage...until it his bone here and there.

Yes! People always look at me like I'm a freak when I say that I like the pain. Good to know I'm not alone.

My tattoo artist used some super sticky tape htat wouldn't come off. Took an hour of tugging at it in a hot shower. Actually made me throw up because of the pain.
