Calf Tat

3 messages · last activity 1/17/2010

I would like to get a piece done on my right calf. A few years ago, however, I got some ink on my left calf and I had a problem with my leg twitching and jerking. I expect the right leg to do the same. Is there any way to avoid this or should I just plan on getting ink some where else on the body? I appreciate any input.
siatica nerve invoulantary jumping.it happens. some legs are generally worse than the other. especially if you have had any leg,back problems concerning the left side. also prominent side also comes into factor here. the artist should be able to deal with these situations.it just happens. best thing to do is listen to the machine and try to focus on when the needle is going to touch.after a few times of this get to your happy spot before the needle hits ya.stay there focous on your happy spot and remember to breathe! very important there. breathe in and out meditation.other than that short of tie the leg down thats how i deal with those areas.best of luck
I just had my right calf done 4 days ago and it's knotting up something awful if I don't keep it moving.. I have a feeling their is no avoiding the after effects.. If I knew I was going to go through this much pain/swelling I probably would have put it somewhere else (first tat btw). :)
