Oh, no alcohol. Alcohol makes you bleed more, and most artists won't work on someone who's been drinking.
I only take a pain pill to help ease the initial pain. For some reason, tattoos actually make me feel better. Probably because my body is concentrating on the needles rather than the rest of me.
I can't get tattooed every time I'm in pain, so I'm thinking of getting a TENS unit. Same type of sensation, same benefit. Without the pretty ink.
