No booze tonight or tomorrow b4. Stay hydrated. Eat a solid meal a couple hours before. Take an ipod/tunes to listen to.
Ryan Hadley he is doing it i have talked with ryan for a while very nice guy and confident from both what ive seen and what ive been told. i dont have headphones so the ipod couldnt happen anyways
I would also break up those sessions in smaller blocks of time. Healing factors are important for having a good quality tattoo. Give your body time to heal. Seven hours is a long time for one session.
Cool. Hope it is everything you want it to be. I waited 30 years to get just what I wanted and it was worth it. Hydration is very important, but you know that already. I agree with no iPod. I talked with Brandee for just over three hours while she did mine. I even brought my wife and we all gabbed. Get the a/d ointment now and when you have Ink all over whatever you wear on Saturday it's ok, it isn't coming off! It's normal!!
Wow!! I checked out Ryan's gallery and he does amazing work!! Where is his shop? Oh and good luck and have fun!
When I got my first tattoo all I keep hearing in my head was the kid from the movie The Sandlot saying "Forever".
It's probably a good idea that you don't eat for a few hours before hand. There is something about the annoying pain of a tattoo that makes people want to yak.
Not a good idea...that could actually cause you some issues with wanting to throw up or getting light headed from my experience.
