Hi, I'm currently working with a pen-style tattoo machine, and after about two hours of tattooing, I get a cramp in my saddle joint that lasts for the rest of the session. Short breaks help a little, but the pain always lingers. I have very large hands and have already tried a few things, like using more grip tape, which only helps minimally.
Are there any other people in this sub who have similar issues and have found a way to overcome them successfully?
