Opioids Getting a tattoo on opiates

I just had a tat done while fucked on oxy it def made the time go by faster but did not help at all with the pain. It felt like as soon as the needle went in i was sober then when he took it out i was all fucked up again.
 
theres no way i'm the ONLY person whose first thought upon seeing this thread and clicking on it, was: somebody's getting a tattoo that has to do with opiates! i wonder what it'll be!

for that brief one second between the click and page load, i had fleeting thoughts of "maybe theyre getting a tattoo of a rig at the crook of their arm!" and "or maybe theyre getting a tattoo of the veins map!"

yeah, i realized after having those thoughts that the thread title did NOT mean what i first thought it did, but thats all i could think about reading it through yesterday, and now, seeing it again when i look thru OD, i'm imagining weird heroin-culture tattoos.

on a slightly more relevant note, i got the tattoo on my forearm (my only tattoo at this point.. i keep spending my money that i think to start saving for another one i've been meaning to get for bout 10 years on dope, idiot that i am) during a brief time period when i had stopped taking opiates or benzos, and was only smoking weed, drinking and doing hallucinogens. no way was i goin in tripping, and everybodys heard that alcohol thins your blood... so i went in stoned as fuck, smoked a joint after about an hour and a half (what we initially thought of as the halfway point...), and then went home and smoked a joint another 2 1/2 hours after THAT. i cant imagine the weed helped or hurt, i was smoking a lotta weed during that time in my life, so i think it was just commonplace for me to smoke pretty much from the time i got off work to the time i went to bed.

anyway, i always tell people getting a tattoo kinda feels like youre scraping yourself with a piece of glass, or something sharp. it doesnt really HURT, but its not really comfortable either.

i also wanna add that in balance to the poster with the christian tattoos, my tattoo is of a tarot card. take THAT christianity!!! bitches!!

I was fucked up on heroin when I got the last tattoo I got which is like a half leg sleeve. It was 3 seperate sessions but honestly I had no choice. When you are addicted to heroin it's not like you gonna go in there withdrawin like a motherfucker. I made sure to do no more than 2-3 hours per session lol.

But yeah opiates was absolutely no problem. Colors look great. Healed fantastic. May have helped with the pain a little..but thers really not much you can do about that.
