    So on November 16th I have an appointment to get my 5th tattoo which will be on my chest area it's going to be roses in shades of pink going all the way across my chest the artist told me it will take 3 possibly 4 sittings and will cost approximatley $150 a session!
    I am not sure how the pain is on the chest area and I am very scared & nervous about it so please help me out and tell me any info that you guys know on the subject!

    I did my chest piece in an eight hour session. It stretches all the way across my chest. This was done without breaks (except for the artist.). The worst part for me, was when he had to put his forearm across my throat, to do the rest of the tattoo, but the tattoo itself, I found to be like any other tattoo. It didn't bother me at all.

    Thanks guys and I mean I have 4 tats but always seem to get my arms tattooed!
    My a7x bracelet tattoo on my right wrist was my first one, my second was my memorial tattoo on my lower inner right arm, my 3rd was my motley crue sola tat on my lower inner left arm, and my 4th was my black butterfly on my inner right wrist and my black butterfly hurt the worst out of all my tats combined!

    And the artist told me the reason why my tat needs a few sessions is because of the details and colors I want plus the artists don't like working on me for more than 2hours a session because i'm anemic

    my dragon chest piece has over 20 different colors blended into it, but I knew the guy, so he did mine from start to finish in that one long session. Unfortunately he moved to Texas, and I haven't found a tattooist willing to do more than 2hours at a time. My back piece has taken me a year, and I am still working on it.

    lol
    alot of people have said that the sternum is sore and the collarbone also....yet again each to their own...but i myself nearly fell asleep through those!!
    hope it helps a wee bit anyway!!

    Dave is right....the nipple is harsh! Why do you think my dragon looks like it wants to devour my nipple on one side and the other side, the tail curls around it, instead of going through it? lol

    my chestpiece was 3 sessions (last session was on my birthday 2 years ago) and didn't hurt. It does depend on the person's pain tolerance

    like everyone has said its in your pain tolerance...everyone is different...my advice would be don't get yourself all worked up about it ...I did that when I started my ribs and afterward realized it wasn't all that bad....being that u already have tattoos I think u will be fine.

    The parts that hurt the most for me were sternum and towards the shoulder. Boob area was kind of sensitive and I barely felt anything towards the collar bone. I don't know how many sessions I've had because I always decide to add more to it. $150 an hour is pretty steep, so I hope that person does some amazing work.

    I have 60 hours into my back piece and if there is a lot of detail the outline has to heal before you can start the color, I would love to get a chest piece so I will be real interested in how it turns out for you. The pain also depends on how heavy handed the artist is. I was real lucky with the guy that did my back. I am starting a half sleeve tomorrow and have never got anything on my arm. good luck and make sure to share some pics as it is getting done

    Cheers

    Chest isn't too bad til you get to the nipple area. Haha, yeah, I side with Rizzo, below the chest area, hurts like a bitch, vearing down towards the ribs. That's what sucked for me. But I guess everyone has their own pain tolerances. I just finished mine two days ago. But chest isn't too bad, don't worry about it.
