Do not and I repeat do not EVER and I mean EVER EVER EVER take part in one of those!
Tattoo parties are against the law and tattoos done outside of a studio can never be 100% clean as the room in a party usually has people smoking or drinking as well as airborne pathogens that can cause infection or worse.
do yourself and the tattoo community a favor get your work done in a studio by licensed professionals so tattooing stays legal. it is people that do illegal house parties that take business away from the artists that struggle to make a living and it drives artists to have to drop prices and pretty much give ^^^^ away to make a living.
Do the right thing and get it done legally
Sorry Keith. I got back at 4 a.m. !!!!
I just woke up. First let me say this....
OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Getting a tattoo on the ribs is so painful.I made it all the way through and I sat incredibly still the whole time but there were points that I wanted to get up and say "^^^^ this, I'm out!"
Luckily my GF and my artist were there to keep me distracted at times.

I will recount the whole experience in a bit. I need to eat some breakfast now.I do want to say though that last night I wore a shirt to bed and when I woke up my shirt had almost a perfect imprint of the tattoo showing through... it was awesome.
Took a while to get it to unstick in the shower as well.
Thanks for waiting up Keith- you rock!!![]()

Keith, this particular party had the participants make appointments at the studio.
Glad you made it through this latest experience Rory!![]()
I was thinking about you yesterday......and the pain I knew you were going through. So glad you were able to sit through and get it all done.
I can't wait to see it either!![]()

Thanks guys. I did 3 hours on my ribs. IT was definitely not a picnic.![]()
I have been washing it with Dial anti-bacterial Gold soap and applying a very thin layer of ointment. It stings and hurts so bad.![]()
I still want to get my other side tattooed but I just cringe at the thought of going through another 3 hours or more again.![]()
walk it off ^^^^^![]()

^^^^ that... I am going to run it off to my nearest tattoo parlor and start a 50 hour rib piece on my other side...
+100,000,000 man points baby.![]()

^^^^ that, have them cut you open and actually tattoo your ribs. +100,000,000,000 man points.
would that not make him more awesome than you though?![]()
Ok I need a tattoo idea/opinion. Being of mixed heritage I wanted to get a tattoo that blended the 2 together. Like a Celtic symbol and an African Tribal piece. I was thinking a family crest type pattern A shield with a cross in the middle and a celtic lion on the top left and an african tribal mask on the bottom right. Something to that respect. Any ideas/opinions?
