Nervous about getting a new tattoo

Always, up until he starts i get a thousand bad thoughts in my head thinking why the hell did i do this again... then once its all said and done i look at it and go "thats why, because it looks fuckin amazing" its all in your head man. just make sure it's exactly how you want it, picky is good... unless its something really minor. let the artist have a little of his/her own creativity.

 

Well I hope this doesn't scare you but the ribs are one of the most sensitive areas to get tattoos. Every customer who had their ribs tattooed said it's their most painful tattoo. The best way to get over the feeling of the needles is to kind of drift off to your "away" place. Bring in an ipod, close your eyes and just relax while the artist lays down their work....it's not that it's a bad pain, it's an annoying one that just pisses you off. I had my chest tattooed and i know the sternum was painful, my buddy who has a full body suit said his ribs hurt more than his sternum.

I have tattoos in some of the more tender spots of the body, i was nervous before every one and i literally grew up in a tattoo parlor so i always knew what areas were tender. I just made sure to get the bad ones done first so all the others come easy, lol.

 

Yea I was super nervous. It does hurt so be prepared, but I got my tat on my arm so it might be less sensitive.

 

if you don't like his drawing then don't be afraid to tell him, it's his job to do EXACTLY what you want because its YOUR skin. Trust me when i tell you that artists (at least most) don't get offended if you wanna change your drawing, they completely understand because they know when they get tattooed that they don't want something stupid on them.
