This tattoo healing process probably hurts more than getting the tattoo itself. My arm is sore. Didn't have too much problem with it during the tattooing. Started to get a little rougher towards the end, but that was after 2 and a half hours. Was worth it though. Can't wait to get more. And thankfully I don't have to go through the process of emailing him again when he opens his books for 24 hours. Can just text him to book now which is super convenient!
