These hurt like a mutha-fucka!!
I got these done at 46 & 2 Tattoo in Fargo, by Brice Schnieder (who graduated from DL in 1998). He did my left shoulder first. And that one wasn't terrible, but I was so nervous I felt like throwing up, so maybe I was just a little distracted by that. Then he had to put on the left stencil and it took him 5 trys to get it symmetrical, and maybe it was all that pre-cleaning that made it irritated, but that one HURT!! I gritted my teeth pretty much the whole time! But they turned out AWESOME!!! And they peeled and were completely healed in a week!!
If I did it again, it'd be something smaller so I wouldn't have to cringe so long!
