I've never been tattooed at a convention before, but I'm really excited to have my first experience of it at the Paradise Tattoo Gathering in October! I was wondering how long people sit, on average, getting tattooed at conventions? I'm sure it varies greatly...I'd just like to hear the variation.
I'm hoping to sit for my thigh piece as long as I'm allowed...what's the longest you've sat at a convention?

At a convention the longest I sat was about 10 hours. It is a much different experience to be tattooed at a convention. It certainly gives you more to take your mind off the tattoo! I have seen people sit anywhere from a couple hours to the entire day.

Is your artist tattooing anyone else that day? How long do you usually sit?

Wow, is that 10 hours of needle to skin time? Or was that including breaks and interruptions? Either way, you're a trooper!

10 hours with a 20 minute break. It was pretty brutal, it was one of the sessions on my chestpiece.

I'm not sure if she's tattooing anyone else that day or not. When it gets closer to October I'll contact her again and see what she's thinking. The longest session I've ever had was 5 hours...but that was for my back..this is my thigh. So I'm all for longer because my thigh definitely didn't hurt as much as my back. I want to get as much done on it as possible.

I'm excited for the experience!

I sat 5.5 hours for one on my chest and then 1.5 for a small piece on my thigh.

My first experience of having work done at a convention was this spring and I sat for 4 hours. It was a very interesting experience. I was surprised by some of the repeated comments. It was my third session on my back piece, so we were about 10 hours in when we started, which was about an hour after the convention opened. I can't count how many times people said to my artist "Wow, did you do all of that today?" By the end of session, we were both busting up laughing each time a new person asked. Guess I was expecting a higher level of tattoo knowledge at a convention.
