Mei Pang (the girl with the symmetrical tattoos) has actually spoken about how the stencil placement for the symmetrical tattoos ends up taking almost as long as the tattoos themselves in some cases, so you're not far off!
I thought it would be about the ‘I am the anti Christ to you’ tat on her neck she covered up. It was a couple years ago I guess.
@@Alythia48 I remember when she was sooo adamant that she wouldn't hate them.
I listened to my Dad about tattoos. He said pick a tattoo and wait 5 years. If after 5 years, you still want it, go for it. I’m over here at 40+ with no tattoos. It clearly wasn’t for me. I’m glad I listened to him. I still enjoy watching videos on tattoos. 🤷🏼♀️
I think it’s really cool when someone with no tattoos really appreciates and continues to learn about them
@@Notketa Thank you for being kind enough to take a moment and say something nice to a stranger. 😊
That’s exactly what I’ve done. Whenever i wanted a tattoo i just waited for a bit and every time I’ve changed my mind. This is how i ended up with 0 tattoos on my body and probably will never get one
I always ask myself if I'd mind remembering whatever caused the tattoo. The answer has never been "Yeah, that'll bother me" though. 😂😂
Like my friends & I got $10 tourist trap tats in Vegas on one of their 30th b-day trips. Even if we fell out today and never spoke again, it was still a really fun trip with a ton of good vibes. 🤷♀️
this is why i love realistic temp tattoos, shame theyre clowned on. As someone with tism who changes styles a lot, I know having permanet tatts in some places just isnt for me😅
I've got to imagine social media has made this so much worse. Everyone now wants their tattoos to be Instagram perfect and that's just not how it works. Imperfections are part of the process and give them character.
Definitely! I have learned to love the imperfections and it took me a long time to realize (fully) that my idea of the tattoo was not going to be exactly how the tattoo would turn out! And I'm fine with that now as long as the tattoo is well done.
100% i look at the imperfections as a signature of human art. Most are very minor. Just enough to show off the skill as a piece at whole, but a human hand in the tiny places it matters. Wouldnt change it even if i could
That first girls tattoo is bad. It looks amateurish. I could do that. A bad tat is obvious to everyone. Like bad art
right, I keep seeing this guy post tiktoks of his tattoos and to me its so obviously digitally enhanced but people in the comments don't seem to see that 😭
Never let a tattooist rush you when you’re getting a tattoo. You’re better off finding another artist than been rushed into something you’re not sure about.
When i got my chest piece i immediately regretted it and felt so depressed for a few days. Then out of no where i just saw it one day and was so in love. I think it's the shock of seeing something on your skin and just knowing you cant go back. Luckily i havent regretted my tattoos and i am still very in love with how i look:)
Sounds like you’re trying to convince yourself.
Similar but different story for me, I got a realistic skull and crossbones chest piece, it is based off an anime but if people don’t know that, they’re view of me is probably going to drastically change if they see it. I love it and get ecstatic seeing it on myself, but it’s more of a point of no return and that type of imagery can really affect aspects of your life. Doesn’t help that I have parents very against tattoos so I’ll probably never take off my shirt in front of them at pool/ beach gatherings.
I go throught this everytime i change my hair. I hate it and then after a few days i love it.
oh i get the same thing when i get peircings or a new hair cut! hate it for a few days because i’m not used to seeing how different my reflection looks, but once i’m used to it i love it!
I’ve always wanted tattoos and started my sleeve at 35. 7 tattoos in and I love each and every one. I think the key is to wait and discover who you are first, so then everything you get resonates with who you are
I think that is the perfect advice
Yeah me too, been an enthusiast since I was a teenager, being a classical musician and teacher, I waited until 38 to get my sleeve. It’s been a year and I LOVE IT!
@@J34U2 Amen!
Sure sure, until something happens and then it's all different. Just give it 10 years.
@@mysterioanonymous3206 That's much different than being an impulsive teenager not fully understanding how much you're going to change in just the next 5-10 years. I also waited until my mid 20s to start getting tattoos and I'm soooo glad I did. I would probably have gotten some dumb shit I'd hate now if I started younger. Now I know that I'll always love mine because I waited to develop into an adult who actually understands myself and didn't get some random stupid thing I would have hated in 10 years.
ugh. i have a sleeve and i absolutely love every single piece of it, but ive had tattoo regret for a good week after every session😭 it’s the worst feeling but once its over and im used to it and i couldn’t be happier
ur sleeve is so cute bro
I tattoo and have been almost 20 years now.tattoo regret is a newer phenomenon.nobody ever and I mean ever talked about anything close to tattoo regret in years past.i wonder why that is.what changed…
And I wanna add tattoos are so much better now.if anyone should have been regretting it,def should have been the folks in the past😂
@@erikkibler3466 idk bro i just overthink every move i make😭 but in reality i don’t regret a single one of my tattoos it’s just my brain trying to trick me when i first get it done
@@stephcurry8725 thank you friend(:
I go through the same cycle EVERY TIME I get a new tattoo: I love it in the shop, hate it when I get home, then I convince myself that it's healing badly before it heals fine and I ultimately end up loving it.
Out of the two dozen or so I have, only one truly healed badly enough that it required a touch up, and the only one that I'm still on the fence about whether I love it or not (an entire year later) is the only one that's regularly admired by other tattoo artists because of it's technical prowess...which has made me appreciate it a lot more, even if I'm not crazy about the design...which I guess is a form of tattoo regret? Regretting the design but loving the end product because of the artist's skill?
It’s the same as when you drastically cut or bleach your hair though it takes ages to get used to it. Sometimes you even regret it for a while. It’s just because you need to get used to seeing your body this way
that instant regret thing suckksss. when i first shaved my head, something i had been very confident about for months, my immediate reaction for like 15 minutes after was panic and extreme regret, which quickly wore off, but it’s truly like your brain tricking you and it’s weird.
I had the same feelings when I shaved my head, but then I realized that it was just Hair, and it would grow back. It grew back.
My tattoo regrets are more about placement. I will probably never get another bright color on my arms. Now I save the colorful and intricate pieces for places that are usually covered. Also, just being more considerate about placement in general I think makes for better and less regrettable tattoos. Even if it blurs out over the years or the colors fade, if it complements the flow of the body, it'll still look good.
I started getting tattooed at 23 and I love all of them. I think a lot of people assume that people who have tattoos are all impulsive people but there have been times when I waited a year or two between tattoos bc I had to save up $ to travel. But also the whole “ur gonna regret the tattoos” thing is so personal because I do have friends who have lots of impulsive tattoos and they love them all too.
I grew up out side NOLA and if you were young (24 years ago) asking for a hand tattoo and not having sleeves, that was a hard no from the tattooer.
I’m still choosy til this day about that subject.really depends on the person after I get to talk to them,if Ill tattoo their hand and they don’t already have a sleeve or arm tattoos
Why? (And Shoutout Louisiana, I’m from Baton Rouge)
@@mcfrisko834because its like starting at level 100 without even playing the tutorial. a lot of artists do not want to tattoo something regrettable on a reckless young person, thereby limiting their employment opportunities and social perception. if you have significant sleeve coverage then they know you like tattoos enough and have already experienced living with them.
Tbh the spelling error on the foot tattoo made it so much better, in my opinion. Really though, not to be critical here, but you're going to make barefoot your whole identity and you don't know how to spell barefoot?
Maybe she really likes bears and is trying to live more like them, so she goes “bearfoot”
If you’re barefoot all the time, you don’t spend much time in school.
I agree! I think the spelling error is genius! I'd just leave it and have a good laugh.
I’ll be unapologetically mean here and say she either did it on purpose (for engagement/rage bait) or she really is that stupid to make such a bad mistake at every point before it was tattooed. But I also don’t have faith in all the barefoot movement bs people are trying to push, given you can get fractures just from stepping wrong and the amount of disease these people bring everywhere (as they always seem to live in urban areas like cities, and disease lives on cement sidewalks, not to mention heavy metal absorption is extremely bad outside of the trace amounts that we need).
The whole thing before the tattoo was fake so the tattoo is probaly fake
My advice to that beautiful lady with the symmatrics: break the rule and have 2 matching panthers - one climbing up, one climbing down. 🤘🤓 My 1st tattooer told me that everyone has the tattoos they deserve. It took me a while to understand that this is true.
Oooohhh I like this
I am a person who pictured myself to be a heavily tattooed person ever since I was 5 years old. I got my very first tattoo when I was 16. I am now 19, and I am full of tattoos. I only regret one tattoo that I got for personal reasons, and I am getting it removed, but other than that, I love all my other tattoos, and I plan on getting more.
Yes I love ink
Not saying you will regret them but you’re still a teenager.
Same here. Started at 19, I’m 30 now and have a ton and want more. I’d prob redo a few of them or choose other subjects but I still like them all luckily.
@@yasmeen8097teenagers can experience regret too. and just because ur a teenager doesnt mean you will feel differently when ur an adult. you might but thats not really how aging works. just because u age doesnt mean u start to hate things u did/got as a child/teen. my dad got his first tattoo at like 15 and hes 53 and still loves it to this day
Same at 5 i thought I was going to get Barbie tats down one leg and Action Man down the other and just knew i wanted to be covered.
I did my first tattoo at 10 (it's just a dot i made with Indian ink and a needle 😂) I thought I was cool af lol
I got some shitty tattoos at 13/14 but i also got one of the best ones ever that's held up for 20 years. I have a huge back piece that i love, i love my leg tats, I've covered up all my small ones that i got underage, but what can I say,i love being tattooed and i love seeing tatted up people.
One thing I will say, is don't get them as young ad I did, obviously I was an idiot lol
I think the main issue is people don’t realize that you should find an artist who does tattoos you already dig. Even better if it’s a homie who’s a legit artist. You have to trust the artist to not fuck you up for life fam.
My friend is like what you described… just too picky and perfectionistic for tattoos. She complained about the lines being too fine on a fine-line tattoo before we even left the shop. Girl they just gotta heal and the lines WILL expand. You gotta just ride with it a bit!
I don't think the girl at 23:00 was saying she wants to look sexy I think she was saying she wants to look innocent/approachable/sweet and her tattoos make her look grown
Same! @kiaracabrera although I do want a tattoo soon. Boy itll throw my family for a loop
For me, I want my tattoos to accentuate my body in a way that looks beautiful/gorgeous, not tough or badass. Im definitely partial to florals and greenery. I told my man that basically I want to look like a woodland fairy with the art on my body lol
Yeah I definitely feel she wants to hop onto the next trend now which is clean girl
@@Jaguarkralle1 I think that's an oversimplification
I don't regret my tattoos, but just wanted to note that all of my tattoos are also symmetrical (and I have a lot - about the same quantity as she has at 15:32 in the video, if not more), and indeed, putting the stencil on is usually the most frustrating part of the process, particularly the second stencil. In most cases, the artists that have done my tattoos have managed to get the stencils on within 2-4 attempts, but here have been a few times when I think it took like 5-6 attempts to get the stencil on right. Even if the artists might have been pulling out their hair on the inside, they were all very respectful and even encouraged me to take as much time as we need to get the stencil right, since both they and I understand that tattoos are for life. Better to spend an extra 10 or 20 minutes on a stencil rather than regret the placement for life. In return for their patience, I always make sure to tip well at the end of the session.
I thought "let's watch a couple minutes of this video", 27 minutes later I'm still here, great content! :D
I don’t know how I find myself here, but I am glad that I did. Thanks so much.
Never regretted not getting a tat....
There's a reason why traditional tattooing starts off small in easy to hide areas...then you build up. Ppl jump into bad tats or big tats or visible tats way too much these days. Take your time ppl, start small. Build. It's tried tested and true!
I am loving the longer videos! You’re able to give really thoughtful, interesting commentary. I’m excited that your channel is growing; more people need to hear what you have to say!
the tough and sexy pose you did cracked me up 😂
mo
Brother I cannot stress how much your videos have helped me become more educated about the world of tattooing. I recently started getting tattooed, absolutely fell in love with it, and kinda hit the ground running. Hopefully I ran into your channel early on and learned the basics of how to choose a tattoo that will stand the test of time, how to not go through unnecessary pain, and how to vet a tattoo artist. I just wanted to say thank you and that I appreciate you a lot, you're humble and approachable but very confident of your knowledge. Hopefully you'll find yourself in NorCal sometime so we can shoot the shit and I can get inked by you. You're bigger than Ink Master already. Cheers bro!
I love my tattoos! I am 40, been getting tattooed since 18yrs. I'm heavily tattooed, head, arms,chest,back,legs and hand. I've only had 2 artists work on me and they both are the coolest, old school tattooers and they rock. I've always loved my new tattoos the next day and I love how they become a part of me overtime. Great video, you are a poet dude.
My mother is very heavily tattooed and to be completely honest some of the smaller tattoos she has could be considered “bad” except because she has a eclectic style you don’t even notice the wonky linework
The woman in the first clip seems like such a sweetheart.
I hope she is doing well!
😂 That's nothing, she can just laser that tiny little thing, make some of the money back and be OK. You guys are so vanilla, always makes me laugh when I hear how serious you guys are about minor issues. Trust me, she could've made WAY worse life decisions than this.
I love my tattoos....I didn't start till I turned 40...and they make me feel pretty and sexy...😊
thats awesome, im stoked to hear it
You look like a mixture of Tom delonge and zlatan ibrahimovic
Yayyy, exactly what I needed as a bedtime story tonight (watching from Berlin, Germany) 🤩
Hey ich auch! 🤭😂
sweet dreams friend!!!
Haha same here, good night from Berlin! Btw love your videos @kirkfagantattoo
Jawoll, schaue auch aus Berlin zu
Freiburg joined the chat.
That girl who was like "barefoot walking is so common in Ohio" 😂 bruh
This is so true about needing to live in a tattoo. I just got a new tattoo about two weeks ago. I love it 🖤 But I still walk past the mirror or I’m changing my clothes and I’m like oh hey, I have a tattoo there!
I love your insights on the regrets and how you relate them to your experience as a professional tattoo artist. I would also love your input on tattoo regret and the society around someone who is tatooed. From this video and some others i have a feeling that tattoo regret also happens when the person is not around a lot of tatooed people
Im torn on the way tattoos have gotten more popular and accepted these days. In Japan it's still pretty stigmatized but you see really well done tattoos when you do see them. Here in LA, I step outside and see a dozen terrible tattoos.
I got into tattoos looking at 90s tattoo magazines filled with biker flash, Japanese body suits and crazy custom pieces. A lot of people these days seem to get tattoos bc their friends or favorite celebs get them. A fleeting moment that will eventually fade.
The worst thing is that everyone seems to get the same tattoos at roughly the same time.
Tribals for a while. Then chinese/korean/Japanese letters. Then came kois and Japanese style stuff. Then Americana/traditional was the hype. Prolly forgot a few in between.
Like yeah buddy I saw that same tattoo about 100 times this last week, just look what a crazy unique dangerous Instagram wannabe hipster you are tough guy, so original.
i love how You keep it profesional and don't crack up a bit at some of clearly done walk in scenario stuff. Keep it up man, much love !
Your commentaries are always very ethical, insightful and eloquent. I’m very happy to see your channel grow so quickly! (And although I can’t have any tattoos due to severe allergies to the ink) ... I love the art work and the good professionals in this field , and you’re definitely one of them. ❤ Congratulations on your channel and great content... I’m sure you’re helping more people than you know!! 😊
"i walked without shoes", man that's extreme
I’ve never regretted a tattoo personally, I’ve got some I don’t like anymore sure but I look at it as a timeline of how I was feeling or what I liked at that point in my life, kinda cool to look at them and remember when and why I got them
Loved tattoos since my 20's but got my first one at 50. It started with a large facial scar from an op, and I feeling a weird sense of pride from the whole experience. Got me thinking differently about scars and regret. So I just really jumped into my first tattoo, a flash design that initially stood out to me as simply 'cool'. It's great but not 'perfect', but that's part of what I love about it. It's an artists work that I dig, and a moment in time. I still love it, as it was a milestone for me, and was an awesome experience. I know at 50 my tastes are pretty much defined now and I can be pretty sure I'll still love my design choices into my later years. It's also a sense of permanence that I can commit to and something I will always have with me. My next tattoo is designed and will be later this year.
Barefoot lady should just get a little bear next to it or on the other foot 😅
I'm so glad I couldn't afford to get many tattoos when I first started, my style preferences changed a lot.
I love my tattoos but I almost always get the immediate regret/doubts. Then love them a month later
I feel like that’s part of the process tho you have to warm up to it
I have zero tattoo regrets, but it's not because they're "instagram perfect" it's because they're emblems of my life's eras and connect me to others.
Literally every tattoo anchors me to another person and era in my life. I have the Sharebear lollipops from my high school group of friends we all got a Carebear tattoo specific to our personalities. I have a hastily little hand drawn star jotted down by my best friend (in reference to a tattoo I gave her with Sharpie ink and a sewing needle when we were 14, she had it professionally redone the same day I got mine done).
If you have a "this has to be perfect and artistic" mindset, you're GOING to regret it. Your skin (the canvas) is GOING to shrivel up so no matter how artistic and beautiful it is, it's not going to stay that way forever.
Exactly. I genuinely think my tattoos are freaking amazing. I never regretted any if them even for a second. I believe that I won't regret them later on either since the theme relates to time in a way that keeps me motivated on not wasting my life. Time is timeless, and the sentiments of my tattoos are as true now as they will be 10, 20, 30, and more years.
I also have a perfectionist personality, but for some reason it doesn't apply to tattoos. I recently got a sheet music tattoo with a lot of imperfections. Incorrect notes, missing notes, etc. Honestly, it looks amazing and I don't care at all. Only a serious musician who knows the piece of the top of their head would recognize the mistake too. But even so, the imperfections don't bother me whatsoever
i’m 52 covered head to toe no regrets but i’ve also built relationships with my artists hahahaha . i researched what they do then met them to see if o like the vibe ! it’s a lot of vulnerable time you’re spending with your artists. i had a couple artists younger but now have two artists i trust enough after building a friendship to let them occasionally do what they want to do lol !
Barefoot ladies tattoo seems fine to me. I feel like anyone who thinks you can "build an immunity" to heavy metal contamination probably couldn't spell anyway.
Thanks for saying immediate tattoo regret is common. I have about 15 tattoos and I swear no matter how long I wanted it or how perfect the design is. I get tattoo regret that lasts for about 1 day to about a week after getting each tattoo. It goes away though, I think it is the shock of seeing something that was not there before and yes your mind trying to cope with it.
I feel the same! I recently got another tattoo and i’ve felt really shitty but I know that I will get over the regret because I love it. It’s just the first one I’ve got from another artist and it makes me overthink if it matches my other tattoos and so on haha
I'm confused with how you use the word 'Gnarly'
Gnarly=Crazy.
That trick is gnarly hard to pull off!
That trick is crazy hard to pull off!
Most of these regrets are from young people who started getting tattooed early (and in quantity). Taking your time is key!
the overlap between the letters "ear" and "are" work so well that i feel it would not be too difficult to just get the accident bits of the letters removed so miss bear foot wouldnt need to worry anymore.
Great video. I almost always have that immediate OMG look what I did moment when I get home but then you realize you wanted this and the regret fades away. Lovem. Peace brother!
I think you’ve got everything spot on. (From a customer perspective, a customer who worked on the stencils with the artist to some extent.)
thank you thank you
So glad you’re doing longer videos and are gaining more followers on YT. Keep them coming!
I’ve been tattooing for just under a year now. Solid advice dude. Thank you
Yeah I’ve had some instant regret before, but I know that it’s just a response to change and permanence. A little time passes and it dissipates
Love your videos! They really helped me understand how certain tattoos that are Instagram popular, will age like shit and blur. Bold will hold!
got matching tattoos and the second the other persons tattoo was done i said "this was such a stupid idea we are so dumb" but in a good way. the artist tried to convince us we didnt mess up lol
Honestly, they're so common nowadays, not even a way to distinguish yourself anymore.
The 🐻 “bear foot” tattoo is just funny I’d love it even more
I’m in my early 20s, and went for it and got the back of my hand done (I already had a few tattoos on my arms before this) and I love it. This video definitely made points that I didn’t see before about hand work that for a moment, made me look down on my own hand for a minute, but I just ended up thinking, “don’t know why i am thinking so hard about it, I loved it then, now, and hopefully forever.”
People should not get a tattoo until they are 100% sure that that is what they want...and they should never be pressured into getting something that they really do not want. Those who are unsure should just walk away.
Walking barefoot everywhere is gross af.
Thats dirty.
Now go walk in a truck stop. Barefoot. Walk around the trucks.
Thank you so much for highlighting the pressure normal people might feel through the tattoo process
Get tattoos over a long period of time. I’ve been getting tattooed since the day I turned 18 and I’m currently 52 and still going. I can’t imagine the emotional distress of getting fully covered in just a few years.
I have a leg sleeve, it’s a ‘story’ about a period in my life. I don’t even see it anymore, I kind of forgotten about it. Regret? No, but my tattoos are irrelevant to me now. At the time I had them done , they meant a great deal to me. 🤷🏻♀️ I guess things change in your life.
😂 Always
i think for me it was just always the most important thing, that im ALWAYS in a good place when i get a tattoo. or the tattoo reminds me of a good place i was in. id be very careful not to get a tattoo as a "solution" for feeling bad or as a type of "self-harm". bc for my tattoos, even if someday i dont think theyre as cool anymore, at least ill never look in the mirror and be visually reminded of a bad time i had.
also that barefoot tattoo thing feels like engagement bait. like no way you get a typo tattooed while filming it.
Love the long vids
thank you! we have a ton more for you
The whole point of tattoos are that they are personal. If everyone loved my tats I don't know how I'd feel. Problem is, I like all different styles, so I am kinda stuck on where I go next and how to continue with getting tagged. BTW, just discovered you and have spent the last day or so watching all you vidz. Love your'e takes and insight but most of all, your honesty and self reflection. Keep up the good work
I've wanted a tattoo for over 10 years (I'm 25) but have always been a big chicken about getting it so I got a henna kit instead and tattoo it on myself all the time... Different sizes and placements and orientations but I doubt I'll ever get it permanently done even though I really want to!!
Realizing I needed money for better tattoos gave me time to grow artistically and stilistically. I have a very persistent theme for how I show myself to the world. From wanting dolphins and nautical themes all over my body, I currently have 4 silly tattoos in non-visible parts that I love and now, near my 30s, I just want a single sleeve project that fits with my style and personality. I've been having the same idea for nearly 7 years. But I'm waiting for a more economically stable moment in my life to finally get it. I also discovered that I'm not one for regrets in my personal projects so that feels great too.
my first tattoo was only an hour of tattooing, the second time i got 4 pieces at once in a very particular style that i had been loving for years, my artist did such a great job using my inspo to create something unique and i havent had a single moment of regret about them, they are my favourite pieces by far.
I couldn’t pay attention to most of what you were saying because I was looking at the flash sheets behind you and uh…certainly an acquired taste to say the least….
“Bearfoot Queen” 😂😂🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Im impressed by the quality of the ink on his arms under that tan man you got a lot of sun in them
I regret parts of every single tattoo I have for different reasons - placement, quality, and one just straight up dumb idea (first tattoo) but I love having tattoos and I want more. I don't even hate the ones I have, I just look forward to getting more to up the average quality level 😂
I've been working on a Traditional American black and grey sleeve for a few years. I've just finished and there has only been one that I had doubts on a day or two after I got it. Under my right arm below the armpit I have a dagger with a snake coiled around it. There was something about it that made me not be happy with it. I thought I'd always regret it in a way but as time progressed, I don't have any bad feelings about it. Point is, you'll adapt to having it and you'll accept it.
Well a lot of them are just getting paid big bucks by tattoo removal companies. More money then they would get with advertisers/sponsors as a pro-tattoo channel.
is it a tatconspiracy?
I always get tattoo regret for like a day but realize it’s more because of it’s a change rather than the tattoo itself. The longer I’ve had each of my tattoos the more I love them. Even if I don’t like the style of my tattoos in the future I understand that in that phase of my life that’s what I loved
I like my tattoos but sometimes I regret placement cuz it hurts my brain thinking of what I want to fill in spaces
yea its always a pain in the butt trying to figure it out
i relate so hard to the first girl with the vines. i also have a wrap around wrist vine tattoo on my arm. it was a walk in. that was the mistake. my artist didn’t give a shit, cranked the machine up, and didn’t pay attention to the more organic lines i wanted and all of the leaves look the same. i was 18 and too afraid to speak up about it and thought maybe more detail would be added because he freehanded it with a marker. nope. i ended up with a few blowouts and had to get it fixed and it looks a little better now but it’s still my worst tattoo technically. maybe i’ll get it lasered off someday if i have enough money to and i’ll try to get the vines redone. i like the concept, just not the execution.
11:07 I noticed that it's generational. I'm 34 years old and at the time when I was 18 when I got my first tattoo no guy would have tattooed my face or hands, today I see young people tattooed on their faces and who don't have other tattoos elsewhere... and I think the new generation of tattoo artists should simply say no to the young client
When I first started getting tattooed my parents really encouraged me to do 1 tattoo a year and not do hands, neck, face or chest. Now I do have some hand tatttoos but slowing my self down was absolutely invaluable even tho at the time I found it silly to follow their “rules”
I like the wolf and tiger. They were very feminine. Delicate yet symbol beautiful strength
Loving the videos brother! Keep up the great work!👌🏼
Getting my chest worked on this Sunday, so these videos are getting me hyped!
Instant regret is a norm for any change with your body, boiiiii after I got my nose pierced I sat in shock for 15 mins, then proceeded to have a breakdown about it not looking good on me. Now I wont go anywhere or do anything without it in. It makes me looks so much better and I feel nakey without it
We love your videos
i'm really glad i don't have any serious tattoo regrets because i don't think i'd be able to cope?? the only thing that's close is a tattoo that i love but it just didn't heal well and i'll probably get reworked or covered, i can't imagine having a whole tattoo that i hated
I feel like Bearfoot makes as much sense as Barefoot in the context of the tattoo. Bears never wear shoes so 🤷 😂
"barefoot queen" - when your life is so boring that you identify with not wearing shoes and socks. Cant make that bs up.
I have a chest piece that is so rotten I wanna “black” it out with a big ass raven with the wings out to my shoulders. But the cost now a days is brutal here in Norway😅
Plus the pain😅 chest and neck is the worst I’ve experienced. Now that I weigh about 40 kilos at 165 cm it’s even more painful to get tattooed.
I strongly believe 1 smart, creative tattoo carefully thought through and executed by a custom professional tattoo artist is the best route. You do not need 3-7 tattoos. If you want one, get one good one that's worth the money and time, and think carefully of where it would look best on your body. It's important to find an artist that is fantastic and worth your time and money.
Getting my tattoos, after some life events not so favorable as a woman. And I got most my tattoos were just to deter people from me, want to just repel myself just as far. I don’t regret them, they are just a small part of a journey that I hope to continue. I love traditional tattoos, just love the style for as long as I can remember
My mom loves seeing my tattoos right away and I was getting something more demonic and decided not to show her till I was more in love and confident in it. I was right she said she wasn't impress and wished I didnt get somsthing like that, really glad I let my own opinion become soild before getting critical opinion.
I love my tattoos, but when my sleeve was done I didn't realise how I looked to people. People use to say I looked "femme fatale", a little up tight, kind of Mortia Adams cold girl, very seductive and mysterious kinda girl . And I loved it because I'm the total opposite and it suprised people. But... when my sleeve was done people started to say I look very rock n'roll, like "had a rough life" girl. And I didn't appreciate it. It's still a "cold" look , but I felt like people could now see my weaknesses when they couldn't at all before (my tattoos are not about my life but about people I love ). I love love love my tattoos but... I don't like the image I show to people now.
Whenever i get a tattoo, i have serious regret right after for some reason. Then i end up loving it once its healed, anyone relate ?
Mei is one of my favorite tattoo muses- I don't think she tattoos, but her modeling of symmetrical ink is very creative.
everytime i'd bring up getting a tattoo with my ex, he'd always dismiss it and say that i'll regret it just because he got some fuckass tattoo when he was sixteen.
currently seven months post breakup, finally got my first one today and completely in love
Bold will hold. People who know nothing about tattoos get bad tattoos… shocking.
Yes! It is an investment. I travel for all my tattoos.

When I got my first and only tattoo as a graduation gift to myself and the owner of the shop did mine. He was amazing. He made my butterfly bigger than it was supposed to be, with no extra cost. He made sure I was happy with the stencil placement, then made sure I was comfortable, and he gave me a pillow bcuz I had to lay on my belly and I'm big busted 😂, so it was more comfortable for me to have my head level with my body. Before he started the outline, he did a test line to see if it would too painful bcuz it was on my shoulder blade, but it didn't hurt. It took about 4 hours. After he did the outline, we took a lunch break. By the time he did the coloring, I couldn't feel anymore burning and was falling asleep lol. It cost me $150, but I paid $200, bcuz he was awesome and his wife kept my mom company while I was getting it done, so she wouldn't be bored by just staring at me lol.
So, I wanted to show my gratitude, even if $50 is too much to tip, but this tattoo is something I'll have for the rest of my life. It has spiritual meaning for me. I've been wanting it since I was 14yo and my parents made me wait until I was 18, and said if I really wanted it then I would be able to wait, and provide the money to pay for it.
When he was done, he said not to go into the direct sunlight but I didn't listen lol. I went to the store after and ran into the store from the parking lot bcuz the sun burned it so bad 😂. I didn't want to keep it covered and wanted to show it off lol.
If I could go back, I would have had the tattoo be more diagonal and have it be just black lines, without color. The details in the wings, like the veins and body shading has faded. It was gorgeous when I first had it done, but once I hit my mid 20s, it started fading. I plan on having it spruced up and add some things around it and make it into a memorial for my Dad.
