7hr. 
Thought my 4hr was bad enough. As for it hurting think it just depends where it as, you get used to it after a bit. I was jsut drifiting off to the music after a bit lol.

Laptop will just get in the way, plus youll be moving about, you wont be sat in the same position for 7 hours i wouldnt imagine.
Painwise there is nothing you can do. The longer you sit there the worse it gets, especially around the 3-4 hour mark. Youll start to get tired and i would imagine its your arm getting done, which after 3-4 hours will become more and more tender.

Daft. I did a 7hr over 7 week. Far easier, although the pain got worse week by week. Couldn't do 7hr in one sitting though. Hope its worth it!

Sat for 8 hours for my back, just sat and listened to the radio and chatted shit really.as for the pain nothing you can do.
Don't drink alcohol before it thinking it will help because you'll just bleed more.

Is the artists arm not of concern after that amount of time too? Surely they must get tired? Do the lines get sloppier

I've done 2.5 hours and 3 hours.
Both times I was exhausted afterwards like I'd been running the entire time.
Couldn't imagine sitting 7 hours and can't imagine a scenario where it would be better than dividing it in two or three sittings...

you'll probably start to bleed too much and you'll have to stop way before the 7 hour mark, especially on a small area such as your arm.

You will probably need a blood transfusion by end of it

Make sure you take sugary drinks with you.
Not sure if it's because my missus is a wuss, but she had a few hours sitting and they had to stop a few times because she wasn't looking too good, just had some coke and was fine after that

Defiantly get some sugar in you through out the time. I got up and went out without eating once and I blacked out! Pain wise get fucked off your head or deal with the pain.
7 hours is gonna be a long hard day of pain. But tbh the arm isn't ba at all so you might even take a nap..
