Chest piece, session one...
Maaaan. If I ever talk about adding ink to my torso again, someone smack that idea right out of my head. My chest/ab/gut areas were just not built for the needle. Which is a shame 'cause I have another session of finalization/shading to go! LOL.
"Breath and endure." That's the only mantra I can ascribe to the process. There's a therapeutic aspect to the pain, though. I'm fairly certain that's why so many people will get so many tattoos they never envisioned on their bodies before their first.
The absolute worst part about this though, for me, is that I have to allow it to breath freely, which means no tank top/undershirt [does anyone know another word/phrase for this article of clothing other than "wife beater?"] for the next 2 weeks at least. I got sweat drippin' off me in this basement room like it's the middle of fucking July and I'm 'bout to force myself to lie in my bed, awake, just to avoid the annoyance.
Ugh.
