It was originally going to go on my ribs but i had a feeling i wouldn't be able to hang 10+ hours.... I give you MAD props!!!! oh god... 10+ hours :( it makes me shudder just thinking about it

I have close friends in the tattoo industry, a brother that's a body modification specialist, and I myself am a bit of a tattoo collector. I will say getting my ribcage done was worse than giving birth, and i'd never do anything to jeopardize that. Your tattoo artist will tell u your ink is healed in 4-6 weeks, but in truth that top layer of skin is very vulnerable untill the "shine" wears off. u know how tattoos go in stages: puffy/swollen, scabby and itchy, peeling/flaking, and finally as it heals it sort of "shines." That shine is the newly healed skin and is VERY delicate~at that stage you can still damage your tattoo by friction such as poling. However, everyone heals at a different rate, and only you know what point of the healing process you're in.....hope that helps???

Thanks muffin, that helps alot! My artist said about 3 weeks, so I took his word for it. Unfortunately it's too late now :(. I -think- I waited long enough... but I guess time will tell! That advice will come in handy for future tattoos. :)

I have a fairly extensive tattoo, part of it on my rib cage. I thought I would be up to poling a day or two after I got my ink.... I was so wrong. I would just say wait until it heals to pole. Mine is on my invert side as well. It was not pleasant hitting fresh ink against a pole, and hurt far worse then the tattoo itself.

omg sair how long has yours taken so far???......... 10 hours in the chair ain't worth thinking about!!! mind you beauty is painful,, and as us women ain't no strangers to pain since we're polers..... but reckon theres a limit and 10 hours of tattooing is it!!!!!!!!!!! sair your hard core babe,,,,I'm glad moxie put this up,, its nice that we all have similar interest and i love seeing every ones art work sooooooo more pic plz:)
moxie ·
I agree, more pictures! I still need to get the one up that I have on the top of my foot... which, now that I think about it, climbing hasn't affected at all.

haha thanks K8! :) Not 10 hours in one sitting! I think I would have passed out! 6-7 hours at a time is the limit for me! You just start hitting the point of no return when you feel almost unconscious even though you are clearly conscious! Not sure if any of you ladies have ever hit this point but apparently is VERY common. Pain is beauty! K8 you're so right! If anyone knows about surface contact/ skin pulling stretching, crunching pain, it's pole dancers ;) LOVE seeing everyones pictures!!! more more more!!! I know there was one woman on here that had a STELLAR peacock tattoo on her side. Beautiful colours!
I just had Bettie Page tattoed on my calf, but i got it designed with a pole too, i wanted to combine my love of pole and burlesque. is healing nicely, can't do crucifixes though..

yoyo vickiezoo,,, we have to see your tattoo please please put a pic up!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and sair i done 4hours and hit a right wall had to eat loads of chocolate and stuff get my blood sugar back up...........crazy,, then a 2 hour which was cool!!!! so i was right your hardcore!!!lol :)
Sair ·
bahahahahahaha K8 I did the EXACT same thing! my friend ran out and bought some sour keys and a twix for me! Seriously the blood sugar dip is crazy! You actually have to consume a rather large amount of sugar to get it back up to normal. I think anyone who endures a tattoo large than the size of their fist has to be pretty hardcore and good with pain ;) Vickiezoo, show us!! :)
I posted a few pics but i have too many to post all! lol i counted nd i have 25!!! o_O LOVE reading about all your tattoos girls!

ugh!! everything keeps posting twice!!!!! sorry ladies!!!!
This thread has me so excited to get mine! C'mon April! I asked one of the doc's last night to right me a script and he said 'what is it for?" ..I told him..he just shakes his head and writes me a script for something..Yes, while I don't mind pain..have a sudden and jarring threshold! We should all make sure there are tat pics jn our profile...make a tattoo album!
Sair ---that was TrophyWife who had the peacock on her side...it's gorgeous
I posted a pic of the feather that I am adding to mine in my profile...these next two weeks are gonna d-r-a-g

Jenn, I love that feather tattoo... so you got your doctor to prescribe you a pain med? Have you ever tried the sprays? I haven't, but I've heard they can help... you guys are making me crave another tattoo already!
Sair ·
The Lidocaine spray works like a CHARM! But the skin has to be opened up before it numbs the area :( Thus why it has to wait until towards the end to be useful Love that peacock tattoo! I should take something before I got too haha. Ibuprophene only works for a little
k8 sbt ·
i agree that feather tattoo is awesome i love it reckon thats a good few hours right there tho jenn !!!!!!!!!!! i ordered panteras 101 poletricks the other day,, not changing the subject ,,,well it came yesterday,, she is tattooed to the max,, wonder how long she sat in the chair for?? reckon she took the pain like a walk in the park!!!
