NFL quarterback Dak Prescott got a big tattoo on his leg that took 11 hours and underwent anesthesia for it so he wouldn't have to deal with the pain. Genius?

I sat 6 hours for one of my tattoos and wow did I regret it, my nerves were completely shot

[lolzerz]

the longest ive gone was 7 hours, and he was gonna keep going but i was so tired.

im doing two back-to-back 6 hour sessions in november on my leg. i know i can handle it but mamas scared!!

[babyyoda]

Tbh it’s not worth it! I won’t sit more than an hour now because my nerves feel like crap after a few hours and I am not one to tough it out just to do it

I believe mine was 4 and we didn’t start until like 7 pm and I could not sleep after to save my life!

Isn't this against like the "honor code" of tattoos? I remember tattoo artists / enthusiasts turning their nose up to anyone who got them done under the influence of any kind of narcotic.

Yep! Most won't even consider numbing agents. Like, you're either able to handle getting a tattoo or you're not. If you need a break or multiple sessions, it's usually whatever. But having to be knocked out like that seems extreme and frankly dangerous

[kansascshuffle]

My main thought is that I'd die of boredom without being knocked out, lmao. Like I don't even do my nails professionally because I know it'd feel like a waste of time (and money because I don't care for done nails).

(with that said, I absolutely plan to get a tattoo myself, but my finances will never allow a multi-hour one anyway)

definitely - the pain is part of the process, same for piercings
some people get even addicted to this kind of pain

[tanglespiders]

fuck the cowboys

I'm honestly mad at the Giants for making them look good yesterday. I hope it was just a fluke.

What a baby if that's true. To put your body thru fucking general anesthesia bc you're too much of a wimp to handle getting a tattoo done? Boy, bye. You shouldn't have tattoos then

“People are gonna think it’s crazy and it is crazy,” Prescott told Clarence Hill of the Star-Telegram. “I get that. But I’m crazy. That’s my point is I am. I know I am. I’m not afraid of nothing.”

Ok but you're clearly afraid of pain and getting tattoos if you need to medically sedate yourself.

Boy got a tattoo and acted like he went through war or worse, child birth. Lol

[yeah_banana]

I’m not afraid of nothing.

Except being awake for a tattoo apparently.

[josiefier]

Huh. My body knocked itself out both times I got a big tattoo. An excuse to lay down and do nothing for hours? My body loves it

[zibbydoo324]

Where are your pieces?!
Granted, all of my big pieces are on my arm so I’ve never really had that option.

[josiefier]

The big ones are on my back and thigh. I didn't even wear earbuds or anything. For me it's like a massage with the occasional needle prick.

Now I did wake up when the dude went over the back of my ribs, but the only occasional scream came from the room across from us from girls getting their nips pierced

[ginainabottle]

that's me when I got my sleeve done, I woke up bc my tattoo artist was laughing @ his co-worker saying I cannot believe she's sleeping through her inner arm, I cannot lol

Pain is crazy that way, the only time I truly felt like crying was when I got my ribs tattooed, that shit was brutal.
