my first tattoo. 

I feel quite the same about tattoos, the fear probably also equally from perfectionism but also just stigmatising it and being rigid about who ‘ I think I am’. Maybe one day I’ll get one too, and it will be a special reminder for me also 😇

Wow, I laughed, I saw myself, I almost cried and this in only 6minutes. Another impressive lesson on how emotional a short video can be! 👏 Now I don't see a good reason not to get my own tattoo made by a friend with no experience! 😂🙏

Another good vibe J. Congrats on the tat. 🔥

Perfectionism paralyzes most, you push through it to create powerful art in video form. Nice tattoo

Fear of permanence was always what kept me from getting tattoos… but then I slowly started to realize that nothing is permanent so if I like it today, then that’s all that matters. I can worry about tomorrow when(/if) it comes

Love the innocent freedom & joy of little kids & how they go about life. Something we need to remember in our adulthood.

Simplicity ❤️❤️❤️

Afraid of permanence - As a nomad and fellow perfectionist I relate so much! It took me years and years to commit to my first tattoo. Congrats on going for it, not because of the tattoo, but because I know the struggle too well. 👏

Favourite Isaac quote: "Why cut it when it can just be?" Some YT and life wisdom right there. . . . . Dude, I literally cried watching this video. The storytelling, the cinematic sequences, the one coming through the van door and the boy running with the towel. Really great music selection too.You have been such an inspiration to me over the years and I guess this one really hit me for two reasons. One, I've finally started to go all-in on YT, with less than 100 subs hahaha, brilliant, I know. And two, I've always wanted to get a tattoo and I know exactly what it is I want for the first one but I've been waiting for the perfect moment and place. Maybe this year I will get tired of waiting. Above everything else, I just wanted to say thank you. Keep going man, so many more stories to tell and I look forward to seeing more of what you got from the helicopter tour.

So incredible. Thank you

I have been watching your videos since last month. Now I am here on 100th. It's been a good journey with you. I have learnt many things from your videos 1> Stories are meant to be told. 2> Share your thoughts & feelings 3> Take new steps if something is important enough. 4>. Don't be hard to yourself 5>Failure is a part of life. Just learn from mistakes & move on . 🙂 After all these learnings I will explore every possible aspect of my life .

Very Inspiring. Thanks Jake!

This is so pure. Always love watching your videos. 👏

Once again such an inspiring video!!

Love this!! 💕

Loved the starting part. Feel good vibes🖤

I love watching ur vids jake! binged almost all of them with my friends a while ago

I love the simple shots that you take🖤

really nice feel!!!

Honestly buddy I think you’re one of the best storytellers on RU-vid! Absolutely outstanding… all of it! Every time I watch your videos like this I get a lump in my throat. They move me and make me think about myself, my decisions and my life. Thank you Jake. I appreciate you! 🙌

It's incredible, how much I can relate to that. I think we're both at the pretty same point in life, but you are always on step ahead. Thanks man

Thanks as always Jake for uploading another inspiring video. The simplicity of this video makes it a cinematic one because of your storytelling.

Your video always inspires me a lot!!!

Goosebumps ❤️ beautiful film Jake! Sick tattoo 🤙🏼

Man Jake!! Really loving your last handful of videos. Great storytelling. I can connect with so much of what you are talking about. Keep it up brotha!!

Another great video with an awesome message! Don't worry. The tattoo just becomes a part of you over time. Trust this old Navy vet.

the way you are making your videos is the definition of "story is everything". You are amazing on this man! 👏🏽

Yes

Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve been looking for a tattoo motive for years and never got one because I’m so scared of regretting it and finding something better later.

No body could be more relatable and real than you on RU-vid. Love you and Bernardo always ❤️❤️

Great copter shot with your hand in frame! Beautiful!

Just wanna say your smile after the finish tattoo had so much good vibes 🤙🏽 congrats! 😁

Love the story. Also love the colors!! Hope someday you release a lut! Looks so good!!

Watching this so late... but love it! Congrats on the tat - love how you always think about things in such a deep and intentional way. Super refreshing. Thanks for always making thought provoking and inspiring content! Love that you're doing your own thing!!!

Yeww! I’m so glad you made this trip!

beautiful! loved every second!

congrats!!! What a cool bound you two have now. Inked together forever

You won't regret it sir! , loved the vid 🖤

phenomenal vid man:)

Embrace the chapters! Love it Jake, another thoughtful video.

that campervan looks epic! like the higher tech brother of my van.

3:33 - I so friggin' love you, man. I feel the same. Thank you for your videos. You help me grow, in, I feel like the same ways.

i love your imperfection. i find a lot of inspiration in it :)

I loved the writing on the end beeing slightly moved!!!

Amazing video, you packed a lot of emotion into 6 minutes. Wow

Your videos are wonderful and inspiring. Cheers from Uruguay!

Damn, I can relate to this so much. I've always wanted a tattoo, but never got one. Always the fear of what if it isn't perfect and what if I regret it later on. This is just the video I needed to see! Love your content! Congrats on an awesome tat 🤘

hahaha, that's great J to see that you did that. I wanted a tattoo for the last 3-4 years and after a life-changing experience, walking in nature for 31 days and being inspired by nature. I just went for it and I got actually 2 tattoos and since then I don't regret any of this.

great video man and thank's a lot for the lesson✌

I'm proud of u mate 👏

Congrats on your first tattoo!! I was 15 when I got my first tattoo and even though it didn't turn out perfectly, it's the memory and who I was with that makes it perfect. I've thought about getting it touched up to make it look better, but this confirms for me that I would regret it afterwards. This video also made me realise that as a teen, I was more intrepid than I am now despite having more knowledge and wisdom. I've wanted more tattoos since my last one at 18yo, but have always been a little unsure despite being quite decisive and forthright. It's not just about tattoos though, my whole life needs changing. Your videos are so awesome because they're not perfect - real -, which inadvertently makes them perfect. So, you can't go wrong, because there is no wrong or right, there is only what is and what is, is perfect👌🏽. Thank you🤗🌌. Edit: I really wish that Eddie keeps that free spiritedness his whole life. Stay wild🦅

Just when I was thinking of another tat and you uploaded this. haha! Congratz on the volcano Jake! You'll get more for sure.

Very Beautiful😊👏

When you come to India please inform before coming because I live in (Rajasthan)india and I want to meet you face to face . It's a genuine wish brother ❤️

whats the tattoo studio called?

Loved the video! U really can make a story out of anything! Keep it up 😁

Really cool Video (as always). And I really love the Videos about Isaacs different homes. I'm also thinking about getting a tattoo for quite some time. And since want to fight my overthinking and want to do more cool stuff, I might just go for it. I mean in the end we will regret the things we haven't done more the the things we have done.

That's a nice one. I enjoyed seeing kids running around and cute conversations! :)

Yes! Glad you’re here. Welcome to Hawaii 😁🤙🏽

We all need a shaky volcano in our lives. ❤️

Oh my I love Hawaii! Enjoyed the vid, didn’t realize I’d missed this one. On an adventure here in South Carolina right now thinking this and Hawaii are two climates I could live in.

Yoour VIdeo is full of life!🤗

Oooo Jake has a new video out! I needed an excuse for an inspirational break :)

I followed you some videos...your videos has unique look...I love it.❤️

watched twice. Beautiful story telling

When the bell notification rings from Jake's channel, it's time to take a break and watch something interesting 🍿

hahah feel you my friend! 😂😂🙏

KEVIN!!!

I literally just got my first tattoo on my birthday, Feb 3rd! Nice one man.

Nice Jake

Perfectionism is the reason I will probably never get a tattoo in my life. The placement, size, color or no color, what the tattoo will be of, too many variables lol Great video and storytelling Jake!

Your videos always gives me goosebumps. I don't know why but it always feels something amazing about your videos. Good work man 👍❤️ Love From India

FILMMAKERS UNITE… support the Canada Truckers for FREEDOM! Let’s gooooooooo

“I don’t know what I’m doing” - tattoo artist. Off to a great start!

Fuck yeah "Live Life with the Three F's: Friends Family, and Fun" that is my quote!

I've always wanted a tattoo but i was scared of regret as well besides I'm a doctor so i was scared that having a tattoo is gonna affect my work in a bad way . My brother and the person i love the most in the world passed away due to cancer 9 months ago so i honored him with a tattoo on my left wrist cuz i know I'm not gonna regret it . Looking at his name on my wrist is a power sourse . Every time i see it i know he's here asking me to go forward and to live without fear or weakness . Nice tattoo Jake . Congrats 🖤

Blowing into that thing like an N64 cartridge lmao

Hello sir your cinematic video nice

Hey Jake! Huge new fan of your work. I was wondering what did you use for your slow motion shots? I own an EOS R as well and I know it doesn’t shoot 4K 60 so did you use your iPhone 13 mini for those shots? Much love from Northern California 🤙🏼

I really liked the tone of the image. Did you use a Black Pro Mist? and if yes how much was it? cheers - great video

Yeah I regret mine. I read somewhere on the line not long ago "tattoos are a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling".

Always wanted to go to Hawaii, to see it on shows or movies I'm sure does it no justice. Never wanted to get a tattoo, not sure why, maybe because it's too permanent and how will it look when I get older?

You still on the island??

Jake.. Broke the ice. Now it might be time for the Mike Tyson war paint half face tat?? 😅

Was the Final Outro with ILYSM not centered by purpose to show the progress you've made in avoiding perfection or just an happy accident? Either way, Great Vid! :D

New sub here.

how are we always in the same place at the same time?

Pure magic dude! Handy tatties next! 😄

Why ILYSM is not in a centre ??🤔

Hy

There goes the tattoo addiction 😅

My opinion, you have to really WANT them for it to be worth investing in… also always go traditional and make sure your artist is fucking good. That’s really it. Also if you’re just doing it to “say you have a tattoo” or you “crossed it off the bucket list” its rather pointless and makes you just seem like a poser lmao

so, is the vanlife content done? It's just office furniture, tattoos and musings from now own? Asking for a friend....
