How to Prepare Yourself for a Tattoo | Tattoos

Hi my name is Joshua South. I'm here to talk with you about preparing yourself the day before you get tattooed. One thing you don't want to do is stay up too late, party all night and then come in and get a tattoo. If you're exhausted the tattoo will hurt way more. You want to be fresh, full of energy, kind of like when you go to the gym. You want your energy levels to be at their maximum so you can endure the process of getting a tattoo. Not that it's that painful, but it is slightly aggravating. And through time, the pain of a tattoo can wear on you. So you want your energy levels to be at their maximum. So remember to get plenty of sleep, eat a big meal, and most of all relax during the tattoo.

Thank you! I appreciate these videos, and they are very helpful. I'm slightly afraid of needles, but I trust the professionals who have their years of experience behind them., to make their art beautiful. :) Tattooing is art, and an expression of freedom. :)

it is true that you need to relax. once you concentrate, the tattoo will not hurt that much.

I live in Oregon!! I really want a tattoo by you guys but I live a hour and a half away:/

Omg please eat a good meal.. especially if your getting one on the chest - stomach region. The hunger makes the vibration so much worse.

have an energy drink and/or a chocolate bar before hand to keep your sugar levels up, ive seen so many people pass out due to not doing this.

It's all in the mind. Learn to control your brain and the brain controls the pain.

[yvodelcasstillo]

it will hurt more wherever it tickles...

[petior]

Also don't smoke to much before it or drink to many energy drinks... That made me faint -_-

@crimsonsaphire Depends on where you get them. On bones (Ribs for example) is quite painful but more fleshy places (Legs) are less painful.

Stop whining I could only watch half of this vid.
Your tattoo is so very small get it removed or covered with somethig else.
all my tattoo's rise up on my skin from time to time it's quite common your not going to die.
most people that ask about your tattoo want one but have not got the balls.
If someone really does not like you having one they generally keep that to themselves (close friends and family excluded).
my advise is to get it removed it's so small it wont cost much.
