I have somewhere between 10-15 (lol I often forget about the ones off my arm and leg, plus itās tough to quantity the huge, multi-session effort progressing down my leg). I havenāt gotten anything in a few years and really want to change that soon, but my artist moved to Tucson and thatās gonna be a whole thingā¦
At least the places I have them, I havenāt found them that painful. Worst thing I did was two days in a row starting my thigh piece since my artist and I both traveled to do it. Felt horrible beating up the same area two days in a row! But otherwise itās been pretty mellow and I think I actually fell asleep when I had something down on my tricep years ago.
My favorite thing has been working primarily with one artist over the course of about 10 years. Sheās so cool and intimidating (to me), but also such a nice person and a skilled painter. Sheās done several pieces on my arm, in addition to the large color piece on my leg (my only color, otherwise all black and gray). Her name is Dia Moeller since Iām always happy to give her more business (sheās hard to book with, but also does beautiful watercolors and drawings, bought several in 2020 to keep tatting my apartment while I couldnāt work on my body).
