in terms of pain thresholds..
i've had around 20odd hrs of work done, at first i could take a 3-4 hr session.. i thought it was supposed to get easier with the amount of work done, but now no matter what i can't go beyond 2hrs.. its more restlessness than anything else. i find a couple of codeine and a couple of valium does wonders for me in terms of thinking beyond getting tattooed.. yes i know the pain is part of the process and i'm a strong advocate for that.. my rationale is about the length of session rather than pain itself. although the codeine does take the sharpness of being tattooed in some areas away.
