I saw that on Rassier's instagram. Right on man.
I'm heading up to Asbury tomorrow for my several times rescheduled back of the leg outline session. Going to be doing the "nibble and sip' method of tattoo endurance. http://occultvibrations.wordpress.com/2 ... nutrition/

With Robert Ryan? What are you getting? I had him do my whole right inner forearm. One of my favorite tattooers. Post pics if you don't mind and let us know how that method works. I hear that spot sucks (don't they all :roll: ). Nice blog by the way. Been looking at that for a year or so now.

Please post pics man! I need to get more work done. Also I am gonna try that nibble and sip method. I'm getting my stomach done in November, and I'm gonna need some endurance for that madness..

It goes up onto my butt, but for the sake of all parties... we'll crop it :D
Robert has done a few pieces on me; armpit, full front of the thigh, piece on my hip and now this'n.
Nibble and sip works great. I did 7 hours on my rib/armpit a while back using it, and it truly makes a difference.

Nibble and sip?

Nibble and Sip is based on distance cycling nutrition. What your body needs when to make your tattoo sessions more comfortable. I've been using it for a while and can feel a tangible difference in my ability to comfortably sit.

Shawn, that is looking really good. It'll be cool to see it finished. I've been wanting to go back to RR for awhile now, but seeing this, it may have to be sooner rather than later. I'll have to give the nibble and sip a try. I don't sit longer than 3 hours anymore though unless I'm traveling and need to get something finished.

Last time Robert tattooed me, we went 7ish hours. When Bruehl tattooed me in January we went almost 8.
Now Im really digging the two three hour jawns.

Wow, longest I've ever sat for pure tattooing was 4.5 hours. I can't imagine sitting longer than that. Good on you man!

It's dumb. I once sat 13 hours for Mike Wilson. Never again. Too old for that.

3 hours max seems to be a great stopping point, i dont see the need to do any more than that at once.

Some would say they don't see the need to get more than one tattoo. Takes all kinds, I guess.
I like to get it done instead of drawing it out when I can. Especially if I'm traveling. When I flew down to Florida to have Bruehl work on some old outlines he started years back, I wasn't going to get three hours max and have to fly back down later for more when my body can handle a seven hour sitting and get it all done. I don't LIKE it. But I absolutely see the need to do it sometimes.

Man the longest session I've done was about 7 hours on my chest. That was rough, I was quite light headed after that. Wish I woulda known about that nibble and sip back then. Also 13 HOURS!? Ridiculous man! You're a warrior.

So animal farm is legit? I'll have to check them out once I finally get my leg finished.
