she’s fine as hell
Haha just watching this and I just got my first on my inner forearm like she said 😂
I WISH I could get tattoos on my forearms … I had this wonderful, beautiful, nerdy (and probably cliché but who cares) idea, but I'm a med student and would like to work in a field where I'll be wearing scrubs, so the tattoos will be visible, and I read that a lot of hospitals still have a no tattoo policy – an outdated one at that, since patients tend to be a bit more open-minded these days. So now I'm worried about not getting hired if I get the forearm tattoos I wanted and have to resort to a different design on my shoulder. Which I also like … but I'm still incredibly bummed out that I don't really get to choose. Because a bunch of enlarged prostates that run German hospitals has decided that medicine is only a place for a specific type of person.
the shoulder where you can cover it up if you want was my first tattoo! I also didn't really plan the before or after with food, I ate a somewhat light breakfast and had water. I'm also prone to fainting when I have low blood sugar and get stressed/anxious, but I was completely fine
A wise man said once never trust a tattoo artist without tattoos.
My sister told me that getting a tattoo felt like a cat scratch and as someone who has a few cats and had just gotten a new kitten, was like, oh yeah, that's not that bad. The pain was worse then I thought, though to be fair my first (and currently only) tattoo was in the wrist area which my other friend said was the most painful spot out of all of hers including the one she got done behind her ear so, here's to hoping the next one is better, and at least this time I'll know what it's going to feel like going in.
i already have multiple tats this is a bit late 🤔
It's so refreshing seeing tattoo artists not be pieces of shit on bigger platforms and shit on first timers and people with like anxiety or commitment issues and stuff… A huge chunk of the reason I have no tattoos is anxiety and seeing so may shitty humans online that are tattoo artists which makes anxiety worse over thinking that I'll get that artists that isn't willing to work with me and isn't understanding it anxiety and I'll end up with tattoo I hate
I did a tattoo on my back at 1pm and I didn't eat at all from the moment I wake up till I did the tattoo and then I throw up when the artist get to the middle of my back
Plan on my first in a few months, I'm 45. It will be the 1 year anniversary of my sobriety.
I have 2 sleeves. I wished I never got them.
I slept throughout my tattoos
Protein bar and Gatorade pre tattoo best combo.
That woman is so hot bruh oml
Trusting a tattoo artist without tattoos feels a lot like trusting a personal trainer without gains.
Best advice I can give is to make sure you get really hammered before you get a tattoo
Technology innovation incredible that can also wash the tattoo previously made, reborn for those is like giving birth badies life is so great
Gatekeepers, more corny than getting a wonky first tattoo
you are the most down to earth artists ive encountered how can i make apointments with you lol
I think the best advice for getting a tattoo is don’t get a tattoo. Save the money and develop a personality so that you don’t have to paint your skin in place of a personality.
I actually went into all my tattoos thinking the pain wouldnt be as bad as it was. I just put myself into a mental state of once it starts its just a matter of time before it ends.. and its permanent. Kind of just easier to deal with it that way. Love artists that are easy to talk to bc that really makes the time go by faster.
my daughter just payed $3000 as a deposit for her back tattoo and got scared and changed her mind..sadly the lady has it on her terms and conditions that it's non refundable..ny girl has worked minimum wage for ages and its all gone..I am so sad for her..
Rule number 1. Never get a tattoo!
totally agree at 2:00 I've always think its really weird lmao glad she said it
I remeber being high af talking about parallel universes and different timelines with my tattoo artist when I got my first tattoo. I wasn't nervous at all, but we really enjoyed talking about Bioshock Infinite's plot lol
it was boring
Biggest tip I can give anyone going for thier tattoo, is TALK. TALK TALK TALK with your artist, have a conversation, it literally made 4/5 hours go so quickly and you hardly pay attention to most of the pain. Of course some areas hurt more than others, but I found talking distracted me the most personally 🙂
Yo I’ve never felt light headed nor passed out with any of my tattoos. I’m usually have a couple brews or glass of wine with water lol. All 20 plus. Been A1. The pain hurts a Lil but also feels good if that makes sense
