So I just started a MASSIVE chest tattoo yesterday and today I woke up and started throwing. My chest is very tight and it kind of hurts to throw but I can’t go more than a few hours without throwing so I’m not going to let it stop me at all.

So anyway, I started doing a combo, starting with a few slack tricks and whatever in between and I like to finish with a kwijibo and when i went for the first hop I nearly died!!! It hurt so much I almost dropped my yoyo and screamed. I didn’t realize how many muscles in my chest I actually used for throwing. So now I can’t do a kwijibo until my chest heals alittle bit. I’m wondering now what other tricks I won’t be able to do for awhile.

I guess there isn’t really any meaning to this post other than I wanted to share my misery with all of you and say that chest tattoos and yoyoing don’t really go together that well.

That is all, thanks for reading

Ya, theres a lot of skin movement when doing the moves. Im kind of surprised it hurt. Especially because you don’t seem to have any scabbing or anything, it looks clean. Weird.

I just got it last night and it hasn’t really started to scab or anything yet but it’s very tight and dry. I don’t like to use any ointments because I like to let them breath and heal naturally

Yeah, at the next sitting. This was 3 hours and I couldn’t take much more, the chest is a tricky place to get tattooed. Some spots kill and others dont

I’m pretty sure doing some bench presses and flys would help with the pain :wink:

Dude, I have a sleeve, A&D ointment. You MUST keep it moist, trust me. It will heal better. You are spending a lot of money on this and time… let alone enduring pain. Trust me, keep it clean and right with A&D. I’m not talking out my butt, many artist friends and they all say the same, A&D for 7 days, then lotion, lotion, lotion… fragrance free preferably and keep it clean. Minimizes scabbing and heals much smoother.

Going under the needle for more Wednesday myself.

I DO use lotion but usually not for the first 24 hours. I try and leave it alone for that time then I use A and D. I try to not let anything touch it, even my hands. After 24 hours I do a and d 2 times a day. It was just this morning that when I threw it really killed but now it’s fine. I put lotion on and it’s fine. Still can’t kwijibo that well but it feels better.

This isn’t my first peice. I have a sleeve and some random stuff here and there, but it’s my first chest piece and it’s definitely the most sensitive area so far.

I can’t wait to get it finished and then move on to another project

Hahahaha, I don’t think anyone did. You can barely see it but in the real mt Rushmore Teddy Rosevelt is wearing glasses. And George Washington has a big, crazy collar, so we added one to GW cat.

Thanks for noticing
