sugar is good for tattoo's if you get nervous take a lollipop to suck on, it helps break the concentration from thinking about what's happening. I worked in a tattoo shop to pay my way through uni so know all the tricks, just relax and enjoy it

i thought this thread was going to be about bipolar inspired tattoos.


I have a bipolar inspired tattoo.. its a lyric from a song that sums up bp to me.

and the lyric i chose for tattoo is
when your life is so so dreary, dream.

i can't really comment too much about getting anxiety when getting a tat. i have 6 so far. planning on getting a lot more. i was an apprentice for 6 months untill i reijured my back. i fell asleep when he did my last tattoo on my neck. a celtic heart. then i have roses and tribal down my whole right arm, i had such a high feeling when he was doing my arm, just sat in aw. my first tat, my other tattoo artist said i was the only woman to sit still and be calm about it. i told him he was turning me on. it's very orgasmic for me. i love the pain, which i don't think it's that bad. but i love the art even more. good luck to u, it won't be that bad. daisy

Holy f in shit ..i am so scared to get a tatoo. I have plenty of peircings BELIEVE me. But Im so afrain of that damn neddle and some drunk tatoo guy fuckin it all up. Billy on the other hand has a big dragon on his shoulder blade and I get real ..um .. happy! when I see it

I thought about getting a tattoo a few years ago. I chickened out because I was afraid of it getting infected and I didn't know anyone who had gone to the local Tattoo place.
