No it was on my right arm, shoulder to elbow... last few hours of shading was BRUTAL

i didnt like the chest, it was more annoying than painful. but it's do able to sit 4-5 hours on chest.

ah, think i saw your video on youtube when you went japan for your oni?

Yup I went to the same shop for all my tattoos :)

Out of both sleeves, ribs (coming around onto my stomach and up to armpit) and chest, I found chest to be by far the easiest, even on the sternum. Around the nipple sucked but that wasn't a big part of it. I sat for 4 hungover and only stopped because we were done. Probably could have gone another hour at least. Ribs I couldn't sit longer than 3, and arms were 4 each session but by the end if there was any ditch or shoulder involved I wanted to spazz by the end.

i sat 4.5 doing my chest and its not the worst. i find near the armpit,and sternum the worse. and if its gonna touch the collar bone, you wont enjoy that. but other then that, its tolerable.

My armpits were a sinch !.,, the script around the bottom neck/chest area was brutal !..and i have just touched the area behind the knee and it was friggen INSANE !!!.,, for the first time i am actually nervous about getting tattooed , just hoping it goes quick !!

can we see a photo of your oni tattoo?

I'll have to take a new picture, I don't know where the original went.. I still have the video though :lawl:

BTW I was wrong, the oni took about 5 hours, it was my tanooki that took so fucken long. Felt like I was being skinned by the end, and I couldn't eat afterwards

Damn ! ... Would love to see the vid ! , i'll have to remember to tske a vid next time.

lol the video is kind of embarassing

figured i would add a tattoo i\m currently getting done, started it yesterday with a 5 hour sitting, the tail wraps around to the front of my lower ribs. Really happy with it so far, 2 more weeks and i get the shading done.

wow looks sick! done by Hiroryu? dragon looks like his

^i think so...looks like a sketch he posted on instagram

Yeah, Horiryu did this for me. When i was getting mine done i saw some of the sketches he was working on for others and was really impressed. He does great work.

how many hours was tat? 4-5?

about 5 hours

thinking about getting a calf sleeve, but i have a large abundance of leg hairs. do i go through with it? :)
