😂 well I worry about my peeps in the Evolve Community, I rather have you well rested and be more comfortable to get your tattoo then not. Can always watch my videos the day after 🐺🤙🏻
You could be a spy. I can’t tolerate pain. None at all . I had to get a tattoo for my breast cancer radiation treatment . They put a tattooed dot between my breasts and one in my underarm. So two dots, and I cried and hated it. It looks like a freckle now. So if I cried that much just for two dots, I can’t tolerate a 12” tattoo to cover my scar on my inner arm.
I just want to say I appreciate you watching 🐺🤙🏻 if you enjoyed this video, be sure to give it a LIKE! & watch this video next! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3zqTc7XRMzo.html
I watched my 1st tattoo as it was done because I got excited watching it come to life. Especially after realizing that the needles didn’t really hurt. Honestly the most painful part was staying comfortable in the chair after 40 minutes. I was unlucky for my appointment and the artist I booked didn’t have the cushioned tattoo chair, it was a wooden school chair 😩. Definitely do like Mike says in his essential items for a tattoo appointment video and BRING A PILLOW lol.
Round 2 on my throat today!!!! I did the complete opposite of what this guy is saying and it was horrible!! I'm excited and we'll rested today. Great video homie!!!
really nice advice.. I did 8.30 hour tattoo.. and had a fun .. keep your mind out of focusing in pain and enjoy your tattoo. do conversation with friend or artist. energy is very important so eat good and full stomach.. get snacks and have breaks but not long.. enjoy
I enjoy watching the tattoo getting done. When I first starting getting tattoos years ago, I couldn’t watch. I love watching it come together in front of me.
I was the same way Sarah. When I first started I had to look Away and have headphones on. Now I just take in the experience lol. Thank you for watching!
I found keeping my eyes shut really helped me. Taking that sense away helped me not pass out and the sound focus made the experience feel different. Also holding onto a sensory stress ball gave me comfort :). The thing I should not of done is have energy drinks (they thin the blood I realised after) so I noticed on my 2nd tat it hurt more than my 1st. I’ve got more lined up so I’m just gonna stick to choccy bars and Pepsi :) but this Vid had useful tips so thanks 😊
Nice Video Mike ! Like always 😎👍🏻 I have completed my full arm sleeve tattoo just a few days ago and now I am in the healing process. Tomorrow I can finally take off the UV protection-/healing tape which is wrapped around my forearm .
got my first one last month and just felt vibrations/nothing for 99% of it, had 2 or 3 spots that i actually felt something but was only slightly uncomfortable. It was a 3 hour session, black and white and color...... My second session was 8 days ago and got 3, each about an hour. Started with script on my left wrist, moved to right forearm with a full color dragon, and slightly above left outer ankle with 3 elephants that i need to go back and get colored. This round was 100% more painful than the first by far, 3 hours again with a break in between each one. But loved it! Love watching them get done, listening to music, having a friend with me and talking with the artiest, can't wait to get the one finished and my 5th one next session
That light behind you makes it look like you have an aura. I heard a lot of artists don't like numbing cream cuz your skin doesn't take the ink as well.
this is so accurate i just got a half sleeve done and it was extremely painful on my hand and pinky but the rest of the tattoo was easy to get through it only took 3 hours i didn't take any breaks 😂
When I got my first tattoo I was shitting myself as I am not good with pain. In the studio I use, there are 2 tattoo artists and the one that wasn’t working on me was telling jokes and generally being a clown which took my mind off of the pain and I even went back and had another one 3 weeks later and want 2 more 😁
I had a horrible night sleep before my last session and while it was already a tough spot, it felt like it was x10 from being so tired. Also don't toke. Da weed makes it hurt so much.
Aye bro personally I have used that brand 10 times and even has a sponsor code with them it goes work great but it’s really only good for about 2-3 passes on the same area after that feeling like a normal tattoo if not a little bit more bc you was used to no pain and outta no where you just get that sting but for the first hour or so you’re pain free
@@EvolveINK my great uncle in the 30’s wanted to join the circus and be the tattooed man but after 46 tattoos changed his mind lol. Not as colorful as they are now.
i would recommend a bowl of porridge before. oats have a slow release of energy, and fill you up. i rarely drink alcohol now, so sober and took a drink with me. although my first tattoo wasnt in the most painful area (my forearm), i sat for 3 hours no problem. there was a mural on the wall, and i concentrated on a bit of it at a time. it was a distraction. just a little sore at the end.
@@EvolveINK only takes a couple sessions from a 14 round to figure it out lol. We live and learn. Currently blasting both knee ditches. Only reason I happened on your video. Them shits are no fun and I have just bout every other spot done except for my face/neck and hands.
Ay Mike. I’m from South Africa where cannabis is legal…. For me having an edible helps my mind to focus on other things while getting tattooed. Wouldn’t recommend a beginner does it but for an OG Like me it’s nothing. Great content brother 👌🏽
Awesome tips 👍👍 I also like to watch the tattoo come to life,it's so cool.Rick at Inkster tattoo has been in business for over 10 years, always feel so comfortable while getting tattoos 🤘🤘
Does not make it more difficult when you're intoxicated and I've never bled from a tattoo and I have lots of them I have been drunk or high for pretty much every single one of them. Color has always stayed perfectly. It's way easier to be intoxicated. Most painful tattoo experiences for me were when I was totally sober. Also.. I will actually be behind on sleep intentionally sometimes because it makes it easier for me to relax and sometimes even fall asleep for a little while while I'm being tattooed if I drink while being behind on sleep.. I can actually sleep through some of the session.
Alcohol, by its nature, serves to thin the blood, thereby potentially complicating the process of tattooing. This effect manifests as a challenge for tattoo artists, as it may interfere with the proper insertion of ink into the skin. Additionally, the presence of alcohol can lead to a messier procedure overall.
Actually, I wouldn't eat a big meal before getting a tattoo because both me and the tattoo artist's gonna be there for hours so that means...yeah, I need the bathroom. BADLY 😂😅
I hate needles. When I get tattoos, I let the artist know so they might be aware of unwanted movements, and I look away. I never look at the artist doing their job. I get breaks for water.
Forearm sleeve is getting done over back to back sessions in August, thoughts on wearing long sleeves over saniderm if ill be outdoors? will be outside coaching football and wanna keep protected but not overdo it.
Don't want to sound like a macho man, but I thought feeling the pain should be a part of the tattoo process. Don't use numbing cream, it's taking away from the experience, imo. I didn't really care about the pain, I think I was too focused on just getting it done and getting the tat closer to how I imagined it. It all worked out, thank god and my tat artist!
I’ll say the opposite! F’ the experience! Numb it up lol (Side note, ive never used numbing cream lol). But if theres something that can make it pain free and you trust it. Theres better experiences to be had, trust me lol.
@@stevej726 Yeah I guess you're right.. if you're getting tats on armpit or private parts, go for the numbing cream. But if it's just arms, lower legs or back, I'd be against it.
hey man i got a few tattoo questions if that’s okay. 1. it’s been like 9 days and i still haven’t began peeling yet. is that normal? 2. is it gonna effect my ink if i have a couple pimples on the tattoo? 3. my skins felt tight for about 3 days is that normal?
1. Normal. Everyone heals differently. Just think of it as a one month healing process. 2. I think the goal here is to not irritate the pimples. Make sure you're using unscented soap and lotion. Don't scratch when it gets itchy. Wear not too tight clothing so your tats/pimples can breathe. Don't do too much. 3. Normal. As long as you clean it first thing in the morning and before bed, then you just leave it alone all day and just ignore the tightness/itch.👍
