Thank you sir. I had him do gray first, then go over with color. I am not a color tattoo fan so I wanted it slight, but I also needed to have the red, "white" and blue. It hurt like a mother to have the color laid down on top of the fresh gray, but it was worth it.

i worked a similar shift (1600-0100) for a couple years. your right, it kind of turns you into a zombie....

My first was on my back, which wasn't bad at all.

My second one was on my left pectoral, with a lot of fill-in black, and oh mannnn did that hurt like a mofo. I'll never get another one on my chest again, that's for sure!

My shifts when I was at nuke school rotated every week. 0600 to 1800 for a week then 1 day off 1400 to 0200 then 2 days off then 1800 to 0600 then 3 days off, then 0000 to 1200 and four days off, then do it over again. Then I went to the boat and switched to 18 hour days, 6 on 12 off, rotating again, I wonder why I cant sleep right.

Hah, yeah that does sound like it would mess a person up

jeepcache · 09-23-2010, 03:28 AM

thats like some sort of wacky panama schedule

Jake7 · 09-23-2010, 03:30 AM

yeah that's what we call em, too. panama's. we did those for a few months about 6 months ago.

**Bender** · 09-23-2010, 03:32 AM

Im glad I am done with it, but it has been since 2005 since I have been out, and I still dont sleep right.

jeepcache · 09-23-2010, 03:32 AM

the sp's on base here (keep in mind they arent deployed) are working panama 16's. 16hour shifts for 3 days straight. its no wonder those guys finish their first enlistment then bounce...

Jake7 · 09-23-2010, 03:33 AM

Yeah. I hope I'm not like that when I get out. I've got until 2013, though - so a few more years of weirdness. Oh and BTW, pretty sure we're all having a little kudo-fest here tonight.
