advice for sitting through a long tattoo?

anyone have any tips or advice for being able to sit up to 10 hours to get my back piece started?

if you have them i would love to see pics. especially "in progress" pics!

thanks

Sleep, my only advice :), I sleep through the long ones

naturally sleep? or do you take something?

Lol well.... Talk to someone. After a while it just goes numb. It took about 4 or so hours to do mine. But just keep you mind off of whats going on. Mine didnt hurt much. Only in a few stops did it hurt.
But I have also sat through a 8 piece corset piercing done with micro dermals. Look up how that's done. Not the hole punch biopsy kind either. The 8g needle 3 holes per piercing way lol. Now that hurt a bit lol.
Here is a pic showing off both. If it's to revealing for the mods you may take it off. It dosnt show anything just my back.

Well good luck!

Bring a book.

I recommend staying hydrated and get enough food and have someone to talk to. Thats what I do or drift and think long sitting just suck... movie on an iphone?

here is my koi tat on my back.. the outline was the worst part for me because koi are so outline intense he had to use a larger needle. but the only part that really hurt was closer to my spine. but its all a mental game.. talk to the guy to take your mind off it.
