Getting my first ink in 20 minutes. :)
Sleeved both arms & legs....don't tense up, just relax. The outline was the most annoying for me. Discomfort has a lot to do with where you are getting it, and your pain tolerance. Big meaty parts are less annoying than right on a bone, or the ditch of the knee. Remember, no public water (swimming pools, gym hot tubs etc.) until you are healed. I used Bag Balm, very light coat when it when ever it is dry....next shower will be interesting, pat it dry after wards. NO PICKING of the scab as it is healing......STAY OUT OF THE SUN, NO WELDING ETC. until it is healed. For me sunscreen would not stop it from fading when in the sun, coverage with fabric is necessary. Kind of sucks going out on nice days wearing jeans and a cotton shirt, but then again skin cancer sucks.....
