It's taken me years, but the other day I go a tattoo on my unaffected leg....the endorphin rush was unbelievable!! I had not pain while getting inked..NONE!!!! It was better than any painkiller I have ever had. The endorphins lasted for over six hours and I didn't have to take pain meds that night....crazy, huh.
Now, since that has passed the cold weather here has put my right arm and left leg back in pain mode. I guess I will end up being the tattooed lady on my right side as long as it's not affected.
I don't know if anyone else has had this experience, but the guy that I went to uses 9 needles and he said that the fewer needles the more it would hurt....it was pleasantly surprised with the out come
