-

Posted mine…it's a work in progress 😉 Be gentle!
-
Sair–where did you post it? In your Profile Pics on here? I wanna seeeeee
-
K I found it and it is beeeeutiful!
-
Thank you oh so much!! 🙂 It's ok right now, but you should see the plans that my artist has to finish it. Teals, mint greens, hot pinks. I'm so stoked to get it done! April 8th can't come fast enough!
-
I know…it's like Christmas! I am getting mine finished on Apr 3…my birthday. He's my artist and friend…I really don't know why i don't have more…lol
Post pics when it's done!
-
That's too funny fellow Aries as i'm having mine finished almost on my bday too (mine is April 9th).
I'd say lets celebrate our collective bdays with a pole jam, but MAN was i ever useless the day after being tattooed 🙁 all plasmatic and gross haha
-
I just avoided moves that made my tattoos make any contact with the pole until it had healed. Within 2 weeks you'll deffo be fine again and I can't see any reason for the tattoo to stretch at all. I got a new one a few months back too. Yay for pretty tattoos! Please post some pics guys. I'd love to see https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Sair, OMG! That's a huge tattoo. Really cool looking so far… you guys definitely need to post more pics when you get your tats done. I have one more to go on mine… but shouldn't take too long. On the ribs was just too much pain for me. I also have one on my foot I'll post later tonight. 🙂
-
Thanks Moxie 🙂 haha I know it looks so massive at that angle!! MInd you i'm pretty petite 😉 7 more hours to go!
Youch on the ribs! My artist cried like a baby when he got his there 😉
-
Yeah, the ribs are no joke. I have one between my shoulder blades that wasn't too bad. But I can't imagine 10+ hours of it… JEEZ.
-
It was originally going to go on my ribs but i had a feeling i wouldn't be able to hang 10+ hours…. I give you MAD props!!!!
oh god… 10+ hours 🙁 it makes me shudder just thinking about it

I have close friends in the tattoo industry, a brother that's a body modification specialist, and I myself am a bit of a tattoo collector. I will say getting my ribcage done was worse than giving birth, and i'd never do anything to jeopardize that. Your tattoo artist will tell u your ink is healed in 4-6 weeks, but in truth that top layer of skin is very vulnerable untill the "shine" wears off. u know how tattoos go in stages: puffy/swollen, scabby and itchy, peeling/flaking, and finally as it heals it sort of "shines." That shine is the newly healed skin and is VERY delicate~at that stage you can still damage your tattoo by friction such as poling. However, everyone heals at a different rate, and only you know what point of the healing process you're in…..hope that helps???

Thanks muffin, that helps alot! My artist said about 3 weeks, so I took his word for it. Unfortunately it's too late now :(. I -think- I waited long enough… but I guess time will tell! That advice will come in handy for future tattoos. 🙂

I have a fairly extensive tattoo, part of it on my rib cage. I thought I would be up to poling a day or two after I got my ink…. I was so wrong. I would just say wait until it heals to pole. Mine is on my invert side as well. It was not pleasant hitting fresh ink against a pole, and hurt far worse then the tattoo itself.
