tylenol

Yeah, i know i'm a wimp, i happen to be pierced all over but it has also been years since i've had a tattoo, and next month i'm sitting through a four-hour piece. I guess i'm used to the quick sharp jolt of piercing nowadays...i certainly don't think the pain will be anything i can't handle but it would be nice to take the edge off a little. is it worth it to pop a tylenol or two? i can hear the purists scoffing already ;)
Pain killers tend to thin the blood out as well. I'm not trying to be a prick, but 4 hours isnt' horrible, if you just focus on something else it will help enough. Bring some reading material!
Ibuprofen and Asprin have blood thinning capabilities, Tylenol does not. Wouldn't affect the tattoo at all to take a couple of Tylenol, just do not exceed the maximum dose.
I find Curare works well...Its just so hard to find good poison these days!...T
