Hey gang, well I sat through 4 hours of a rib tattoo yesterday. If it wasn't for the last 45 minutes I would have said it wasn't all that bad. It's a sailor jerry style ocean scene except I replaced the sail boat with my commercial fishing boat. As far as i'm concerned with ribs, they hurt more than the back. Some spots are really rough and some aren't bad at all but like I said if it wasn't for that torturing last 45 minutes I would have said not bad overall. I'm happy as hell with it, the artist did a great, and relatively quick job, I might get some touch ups done in a month but at the moment i'm just recovering. If anyone is considering ribs feel free to ask me some Q's.

well..... post some pics!!!

i went through 2 sessions on my ribs, total 7 hours. didnt hurt as bad as people make it out too be , you just get sore from holding still. did you get anything on your hips? for me the stuff right on the hip bone was by far the worst.

great spot for some ink, love the idea, post pics!!!

Hey guys, I'm letting it heal up for a couple more days then my artist is gonna take some pics for his portfolio so I'll post those in a day or two. And sleewell, I got a little bit done towards my hip bone and it definatley hurt but it was near my stomach away from the bones that was the worst, I could feel it vibrating my stomach and it made me a little queasy.
