Damn Liz lol. That is what eventually got me over the finish line. Just deep belly breathing and focusing on my breath. And yeah, absolutely. It was just much worse than I anticipated and that really didn't help.

If yoga and pole dancing has taught her anything in life it’s pain management and how to disassociate with the world around you 😅😅
I generally try to time my breathing with the rhythm of the artist refilling the needle etc. only really managed it with Malice as we know eachother well enough that she knows what I can handle and I know how long it takes before she needs to dip for more ink.
No way I’d let an artist I didn’t already know near my other armpit for example lol.

Hmm yeah, I’ve not had a fat liner for a while so maybe my experience is out of date on that front 😅
Something also really sucks when you’re mentally prepared for one area but it wraps onto something you’re not expecting..
My partner is big on meditation and can effectively zone out for 3-4hrs at a time and doesn’t even really know she’s being tattooed. She managed that full heavy sleeve I posted a few pages back with no cream. It’s a bit weird as it kinda looks like she’s in a coma but works for her.
Reminds me of the Hooper V Peck palm tattoo video where Hooper just sits there astral projecting like a boss.
