Get it in places that can be easily concealed I.e for work places. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

MidwestUSA Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 If you're a drinker, don't imbibe for a few days before. Don't want your liver enzymes out of whack, or you'll bleed. With my first, and only (so far) I hedged as soon as he did the outline, especially when he hit the bony spots on my spine. I found that with some deep breathing, I went into somewhat of a zen state, and it wasn't bad at all. And yes, choose wisely, you're stuck with it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Upper arm/shoulder shouldn't be as bad as a foot or wrist. My next one's going on a shoulder. I just have to figure out what I want. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
