I know he already has the tat, but I'll post a few things here for others to read:

Awesome thanks ultra.. How long do u have to use the ointment?
I heard ur endorphins kick in and your pain goes away after a bit

Ointment: 1 week. Do not wash it right away and avoid hot water hitting it in the shower.

Endorphins? Take it like a man! It feels good! Or wear a dress and cry. :lol:

As far as painkillers go - I wouldn't recommend taking asprin or any other blood thinner. My artist specifically advised me NOT to do this (same goes for drinking alcohol prior to the "event")

Pain? Mine took about two hours, felt like a bad sunburn during the process.

Do not take anything. You will bleed more.

Pain goes away after a couple hours. After a week you will get the "itches". Resist the urge to scratch. Just "pat" it.

Wash your hands before applying any ointment. Stay out of the sun. The worst thing for a tat is sun. They will fade after years of sun.

I have dry skin and use moisturizer daily on my face. I also put it on my tats daily. It is important to do this once in awhile too; not just after you get it.

Where is he? Did he bleed out?

Well...did it hurt? Give us details. Feel faint?

Nope didnt hurt at all.. A little uncomfortable but nothing like i thought it would be.. He is an amazing artist and doesnt get much biz in the small town of fergus.. so i tipped him 20 bucks.. for a 100 dollar tat.. I was nervous at first but it went away right away.. Im sooooo glad i got it!
