Question is... how long can someone get tattooed for consecutively without going into shock or compromising the immune system? My old tattooer from Anchorage said that after about two days the body can go into shock and greatly affect the healing process. Don't know if there is any truth to this as many of the artists at AoN have done full sleeves in 3+ days at one time.
Would greatly appreciate any input on this. Thank you.

I think 3 consecutive days of tattooing is close to impossible for the person getting the needles... Also, your brain releases a substance called endorphine I think, it helps you extend your pain tolerance for a max of atleast 6-9hrs for some, for others it's usually shorter... You can also take the Plasma into consideration, from my own opinion and observation, the longer a person sits getting tattooed the harder for the color to go in... Im not sure why but I red something from here I think, it is because of the Plasma from your blood that dilutes the ink, thus harder to get in after a period of time tattooing... And the main reason why 3consecutive days of tattooing is close to impossible, it is because of the intolerable amount of pain one has to go through aside from the fact that you are tattooing some parts of the skin with fresh wounds from the previous session... That's my stand point for this issue...
BTW, why not just get all the outlines and most shading completed for a whole day session then just finish the whole thing including the coloring with your and the shop's most convenient time? Atleast, if there's gonna be a need for another pass for the outlines, it would be easier to spot it on the next session once the outlined areas are completely healed up sir...
