This actually rly helps. I’m getting my first tattoo sometime in June or July (after my 18th birthday) and I’m excited but a little nervous so yeah this helped🤗

[Marts]

My first tattoo was so chill. I was tense at first, then when we began I was like "...that's it? It's not painful" and at the end my tattoo artist even complimented me saying I was the most still person she ever tattooed😂

[Larry_is_real]

Just got my first tattoo 3 hours ago! 😊
Can confirm - it was not as painful as I thought it would be!

[xChaosReignsx]

Can I just say those tattoo studios are beautiful! They look so clean and inviting 💕

[cameronfitzgerald]

I had my first tattoo about five years ago and it was okay getting my second tattoo in a month don’t even feel nervous this video helps.

It's recommended to get a good rest before getting a tattoo, eat well, and not drink alcohol - these make the process so much better and easier 🖤

[LizNapolitano]

Pain for a desired outcome is easier to handle than random or unwanted pain!

I wish I had chilled out. I had like 10 people in my ear telling my how bad it was gonna be to have my chest done. Got in started like panicking and my artist was looking at me all sorts if ways. And as soon as the needle touched me I realized how much if a baby I was. Not even gonna lie about it. I was pacing the shop before we started. Don't get in someone's ear and say it's gonna be bad

[dannymartinez]

Im getting mine tmr and this calmed me down a lil😭😭

[hardshot]

You don't need to talk the entire time, sit back and relax, it'll sting a little but ultimately it just feels like an indian burn

[icypenguinparty]

I watched this, felt better, went in, and was horrified to discover that it was every bit as bad as I expected it to be tbh

[rickygutierrez]

Very true. My first was on my arm and it hurt but not that bad..Now My second tattoo was on my ribs, and yeah was probably worse then I thought it was going to be.

[mikah]

I get horrible panic attacks from time to time. My biggest fear is getting one during my first tattoo session

[riotgear]

They say this while using modern rotary machines, they tattoo like butter

[jasminpuente]

Breathe in when they take the needle off and breathe out when the needle goes in, worked well for me

[finn]

Getting my first one on saturday and I actually think I underestimate the pain since it's gonna be right on my ribs and sternum lol

[ethangoldentuler]

my first one was behind my ear, the uncomfortable part was feeling the vibrations on my skull, not much actual pain but it was like 15 mins in the chair, next tattoo is a shoulder piece that might take 8 to 10 hours so we will see

[katemingos]

Getting my first one this upcoming Wednesday, I am really nervous

[jorugarushia]

A really good piece of advice is don’t drink alcohol the night before and the day of your tattoo. Don’t drink caffeine the day of your tattoo. Stay nicely hydrated (drink water) before and the day of your tattoo. And have a good hardy meal an hour before your tattoo. Don’t go in with an empty stomach.
