Before you ask the question, yes it was painful. The outline was anyway, the coloring in didn't hurt so much.
I suggest to any idiot that holds their breath during a tattoo not to do it, because it could:
A) Make the tattoo come out completely different
or
B) Make the wise man/woman tell you not too lol.
I got my tattoo done in Leduc,AB while visiting some friends of mine for two days. He took me to Cam's Custom Tattoos and he bought it for me.
Cam is a really chill guy and is good at what he does. If you smoke, he'll let you come out and smoke with him for a few minutes before you go in to start.
I'd suggest taking a deep inhale before you go back in because, that inhale, will be the last good feeling before you start...that is...if your not a Masochist then it's all pain and wonderful feelings for you guys.
I'm not a Masochist so I held my friends hand through it, and made sure that it was there when I needed it.
I am REALLY happy with the way my tattoo came out and I can't wait until I go back up and pay Cam for another one.
Later dudes!
