To bump an old thread...
I have a full days session booked in on weds. Any tips or advice?
What's a full day these days? 8 hours? Its a long time to sit/lay for a tattoo. I found anything over 4/5 hours was too much but everyone has their own pain thresholds.
1. Goes without saying but stay off the booze the night before.
2. Stay hydrated, and keep your blood sugar levels up. Still Lucozade was my preference.
3. Make sure you eat before hand
4. Do not be afraid to ask for breaks, most will offer regular breaks but some get sucked into the work and forget. Just don't take the piss and ask for a fag break every 20 minutes.
5. I'm not a big talker so I always ask if they mind me listening to some music to take my mind off things.
All pretty basic stuff really.
