Yea the artist was/is a machine. We did 4x 10hr sessions to do my arm.
I'm pretty good with the pain. Fell asleep when my elbow was being done. -
Prob worth mentioning, though by now I’m sure you know - belly is a popular choice for “most painful spot”.
I def had a better tolerance for it all when I was younger, and my belly got lined when I was 21. I thought I’d accidentally gone in for some surgery, breathtakingly horrible. Shading was loads better (plus that happened at a convention so I was highly incentivised not to embarrass myself)

Jesus. A ten hour session is insane. For you and the artist.
But thanks everyone. Good to know it works. The most common stuff on this side of the pond seems to be 5% lidocaine cream that’s just branded differently. I’ll of course speak to my artist and do a patch test etc before using it.
Edit oh looks like bactine is just 4% lidocaine so I should be good to go.
