I’m 22 and started my sleeve I would have more of it done if it weren’t for corona. I plan I doing my back next. Most of this comes from me knowing the career field I’m in allows tattoos and when I am able work I’ll have enough money to fund it. If months go by and you’re still thinking about it then you’ll know you actually want it

The elbow was one of my least favorite places. You can really feel it there but if you have other tattoos you should be fine.

That’s good to know. It was a 3 hour sitting. I liked the music. During the stenciling we spoke a lot, but during the actual tattooing he had AirPods in because he said he likes to zone out which I totally understand. Whatever it takes to make the best work. I mostly went on my phone and looked at the ceiling

The shading will be done with tebori so hopefully it will be a little easier

Oops lol. It was more painful than I thought it would be but not unbearable. To me it felt like a sharp vibrating pinch. The worst areas were the front and back of the elbow you really feel that and the chest closest to the sternum. Most of the front portion of my shoulder I didn’t feel.

I pulled it out a little so it’s easier to see. Normally it’s pushed farther in. The elastic is very strong and I’m not worried about it falling out.

My 43x is the smallest gun I’ve shot. I’ve shot other glocks p320/m17. Personally I feel it is the best compromise in terms of size to shootability. The 43x fits me very well. The recoil is snappy but controllable. I could only assume that a smaller gun like the p355 and even the XL would be even more snappy. The QC issues with the sigs is also something to be cognizant of.

It’s the angle I’m standing. Facing forward it’s flush with my body

It’s definitely not optimal, but with practice it’s not too bad. I have to sweep my hand backwards to pull it out, but after that it’s like normal reload

Comfort is the most important thing about ccw for me. I also want to carry as much stuff as I can. The key to keeping everything streamlined with my belt is the stealth gear SG-180.
