jgpool said:Your right Jay, those things hurt way back when. The machine they used on me(40 yrs ago, I have 6 tats) was 6 needles going up and down at various times and speed. It was not like they were punturing the skin it was as though they were ripping the skin, and this guy just kept on like my arm was a coloring book. The color on them is still quite noticable after all this time. I think you should do the nine-ball thing on your back.![]()

they still use 6 needles for shading,
i have 2 tattoos, i never have regretted either of them but i did my homework on the artist etc. got one in 94 and 05, the one in 05 is the Lamborghini Bull on my back, i fell sound asleep for the hour it took to do it, the guy asked me when i woke up if i suffered from chronic pain-i said yeah, how did you know? he replied "most peope with chronic pain fall asleep when getting tattooed because you get a big dopimine relaese fromn the needles and your pain goes away and you get sleeepy" he was right, i have know him since 94-smart guy.
