i have seen many tats but this is kind of wow!, i remember a friend with a little dove on his arm use to tell how painful it was but i can't but imagine How painful this must be. it kind of beat my imagination, i don't think i can stand that kind of pain and time for this to be done.
How long do you think this tats can take to be completed?

A full back-tattoo will take about 18-30 hours to complete, depending on the artist and how fast he/she is, and depending on how much pain the body can take

Jallow, does it hurt? I have had loads of piercings so I can handle certain amounts of pain but I don't know how badly tattoos hurt.

I want one hopefully by the end of summer, something small. Around my hip/lower abdomen.

Of course it hurts In a good way, though. ( This makes me miss even the sound of the tattoo-machine..been too long now..)

have never had any n my hip, but the skin is thin, and if you are having it over the hip-bone..ouch. But worth it Just remember everyone have different levels of how much pain they can take.
