I know how you're feeling about this! I have a 5 hour session booked next month and I don't know what I'm going to eat!

When I have a big session coming up I usually have a bigger than usual breakfast in the morning. Maybe scrambled eggs, beans and toast. Something quite healthy but still substantial enough to keep me going.

One of my friends told me once to take a few sweets, lollies or boiled sweets, something to keep your sugar levels up and not too heavy on calories if you keep it to a few throughout the session.

I always keep a bottle of full fat coke and a bottle of water on hand too. I usually don't drink all the coke but it's just handy to have!

Hope that's helpful in some way!

Which convention are you getting tattooed at? & by whom? (Sorry if I'm being nosy! :P )I was hoping to get to Liverpool this year but it doesn't look possible financially!

Thanks that is really helpful

I was thinking of having some Oat So simple for breakfast and maybe taking some sweets with me (possibly a small chocolate bar). I like the idea with the full fat coke, it's always best to have something like that on hand just to stave off any potential crashes.

Not nosey at all!! I am going to the Plymouth Tattoo Convention, this will be my 3rd year of going and each time I have managed to get tattooed by some awesome people. This year I am being Tattooed by Tim Hinton (he runs a shop in Truro, Cornwall called House of Mojo).

Sorry you can't make it to Liverpool. Do you mind me asking what you are getting done in your session and where it is going to be?

Mine is an Audrey Kawasaki picture and it is going on my right arm (my left arm is full lol)

Thanks again!

I'm getting my chest piece started, I'm hoping to get as much done as possible in one session but we're seeing how it goes in the time I have and how I feel. (I've heard it hurts! :P) It's custom, not seen the design yet but I know it's going to be amazing!

Hope you have a great day at Plymouth! I'm jealous!
