I healed very quickly from my two first session but they were dot work with some sparse regions/negative space. I only had to cover it for 48 hours and was 'dry' after that. I still covered it but with a cloth bandage just to prevent contamination. It went through a peely stage like sunburn for a week. The whole thing including time to heal was like a bad sunburn. My new work is denser so am anticipating more scabbing though. In terms of full healing - I'd say about 3 months when it has gone through the silvery stage that scarring usually has before its reached is equlibrium - in the case of black work when it no longer looks more black than older (but not much older) black work.
@@Inkademic Looks like heavier work than mine though - I won't be dry healing until Friday - even then I'll cover during the day. I usually wear a long-sleeved compression shirt over it when exercising, less chafing and it goes straight in the wash, but not doing that until its dry.
Aw, thanks! It's just me being me. If you want to just hear me talk and zone out, I have an ASMR channel (that I totally ignore but I would love to flesh out): ruclips.net/channel/UCsEcBhCdBJs0Hz0QvV2NZcg
Jeez, mate. Your voice is like a glass of warm milk before cuddling in bed in a warm blanket on a snowy winter night. Its cozy and nice. Yeah, i'm jealous C:
I agree to the point of the snowy night bit.....around here that typically means Blizzards. .....but he's the voice I want to hear saying " just stay inside and the plows will be out in the morning !!!!!"
Please never stop making videos, dude. As someone with terrible anxiety but loves getting tattooed, you’re the only person I’ve found that makes me not freak out about every part of the healing process. I saw someone else say you’re like the bob ross of tattooing and they hit the nail on the head. Keep going, man.
His voice is so reassuring. I’m getting my first tattoo this Saturday and I’ve been pretty nervous. This video is so helpful! thank you for posting this.

Aw, thanks! I keep meaning to get back into creating but a) I'm on vacation, and b) this pandemic is really sapping my creative juices. Hopefully more soon!
Hey I just wanted to personally thank you for these videos because I have an anxiety disorder but I also really love getting tattoos. Everytime I got a new tattoo I couldn't even focus on anything but what could happen if i did or didn't do something for weeks. I've seen this video multiple times and since the first time watching it, it has helped me so much to aliviate my anxiety and feel comfortable with my tattoo and how it heals. I hope more people get to see such great content!! Thank you
Hey man, love your videos, they were of great help to me. Side Note: You should start your own meditation podcast; your tone and personification are super relaxing!
Tomorrow I'm getting my first tattoo and this is making me feel safe. I'm so nervous I can't sleep. Thanks, life, for the existence of this human being.
I got my first one just this saturday, go sure of the tattoo you'll get and be calm you'll find it is not much pain as many people says. Depending On the área probable wont hurt at all. Mine is on the left pectoral
It's easy to get inside your own head before your first. I agree with Julio, basically: if you're sure you want it, it should be something to look forward to (but that doesn't mean it won't make you anxious, given it's a brand new experience and, regardless of what anyone tells you, it will hurt at least a little bit, somewhat like drawing on a sunburn with a toothpick).
@@guitarofdestiny It was awesome, everything went great! It is easier than you think. In my case, It hurts like hell, almost 3 hours of pain but at some point, you stop minding about it, pain comes and goes depending on the area of the tattooing. I had a 7cm idea but my tattooer convinced me to go bigger and now I have a 20 cm piece of art in my leg, I don't regret it at all the artist In choose is very talented so he did magic haha. It healed very quickly because I was very meticulous about the aftercare, I followed every single instruction of my tattooer and the recommendations I researched, the peeling started within a week and It was itchy as hell for almost 4 days but I never scratched, for me that is the worst part of the aftercare, trying not to scratch, sometimes the itch woke me up in the middle of the night of how bad it was, nothing that a little bit of tattoo balm can fix. It was almost healed by the second week and now It's perfect. I still wash with antibacterial soap and moisturize with tattoo balm once a day, when I reach the month I'll start showering normally as always :D
Thanks so much for this info definitely answered a lot of my questions and made me realize that my healing process has been going more normal than I had thought!
I've never paid close attention to how my tattoos heal but this was awesome to see the details of the process and makes me want to actually pay attention the next time I get ink. Looking forward to future videos!
Girl you should a video! Or this guy should! It would be interesting to see on different color skin. I’m Native American and Japanese and my artist uses vegan ink, and mine do look different, but not a lot.
Back in the day I used to do A&D for one week and then lotion for one week but I really like the convenience of using the clear dressing instead of getting ointment on everything. 😅 And thanks!
Aw, thanks! It's just me being me. 😂 If you want to just hear me talk and zone out, I have an ASMR channel (that I totally ignore but I would love to flesh out): ruclips.net/channel/UCsEcBhCdBJs0Hz0QvV2NZcg
Man this was so comforting. I have a bunch of tattoos and I’ve never had a bad experience with healing but still, every time i get a tattoo I really care about I get so anxious about the healing process. This was very good at putting those worries to rest!
I'm the biggest hypochondriac in the world and I just got my first 2 tattoos. This is the best informative video, and your whole channel is really easing my mind!!!
I thought I was the only one going through the peeling, especially since I never used healing cream I only used lotion. you answered all my questions man bless your heart
I've been getting tattooed for decades and, still, every time, I look at how my most recent work is healing and think, "Is that okay?" I'm glad this helped. 😊
When I got my first tattoo I was SO scared when it started shredding a few days after because no one ever told me that was a thing. And it was on my back so i couldn't see it, but my hand was full of little black pieces of skin. My second one is coming up so i started researching again to be more prepared than last time and believe me, all those times you said it was normal were absolutely necessary 😂 thank you so much for the video and pictures!!
Even though I got lots of Tattoos (just got my chest piece two days ago so it's pretty fresh and will be starting to peel in a few days), I find this video really interesting. And also calming, because even when you're used to your tattoos being a hot mess while healing, sometimes you worry if everything is going to be fine. So thank you very much!
The last time I got tattooed I was 19 (currently 27) so I forgot the entire healing process and what things looked like, so this was great help to me on day 3 after my appointment
I just got my first tattoo a week ago, and I started scabing within 3 days, day 7 and externally my tattoo has completely healed, I heal weirdly fast when it comes to cuts, scabs, acne so on, I'm now at the itchy stage on day 9, it's cool to see different speeds of healing I used the standard, temporary cover, wash then lotion, covered it for the first night sleep as we have cats, and then after that I didn't cover it, I just kept it clean and moisturised Love watching your vids as they are so relaxing and reassuring :)
I got lucky mine healed pretty fast. I'm at one week and its pretty much all flaked off and now just looks shiny. I think the saniderm is really the best way to go.
Couldn't agree more. I've always just used the standard Tegaderm (mostly because that's what my artist has on hand) but I'd imagine the Saniderm works just as well. Soooo much better than the old way!
I just got my first tattoo 9 days ago. If it weren’t for this video, I would have thought my onion peel on my skin was something wrong I did during healing
I've never used lotion on my tattoos or any wound while it was healing and had the same results. Only thing different besides the scabs aren't gooey from lotion is i healed faster than this. Not saying this is a bad idea and maybe its just me but soap an water without direct contact on it in the shower was more than enough. Thanks for video! Good stuff.
@@Inkademic Agreed. Everything I've had has healed fine with the exception of a couple spots I bumped on something here and there. But yea, this way they show on the video is more than likely the best way to go about healing. Better safe than sorry I guess.
Just got my third tat after a year from the first and second. Totally forgot what tattoo looks like in healing process. Was panicking because it was red for 4 days and realised that I slightly over moisturized so I cut off some. It is a bit tighted, itchy and some scabbing are forming on day 5 and the redness has went down significantly, some still there. I really appriciated this video because when you search for day to day healing, most of them are just written articles and just talking. Yes it is helpful but without the visual, you can't really understand what they talking about. I appreciated to have a close up visual because, obviously, I can see much more details of my tat in person and what happening. But when you watch on a screen, it doesn' truly show the states it in like the crackling, the peeling etc and it really hard to see on some pics and vides because they are so far away and the tat look well fine. So now I can fully know the stated my tat at and be careful with lotion amount and surviving the whole process. Thank you 👍👍
I used a little bit of aquaphor on the really sensitive parts. The parts that weren't really irritated I pretty much left alone until week 2. Then it was pretty much just gold bond ultra healing over the entire tattoo until I stopped pealing and it came out amazing. It's very easy to over apply the aquaphor and leads to scabbing, so I just used it to relieve the really irritated areas. With that method I got no scabbing at all. Every time before I would use aquaphor on the whole tattoo the first week and kept scabbing up everywhere. Everyplace I scabbed I had to get a touch up. Didn't need a single spot touched up on this last one.
This is the best cream for brand new tattoos make sure you use it all the time when you're first getting that first tattoo. Wash your tattoo a couple times a day and use this cream on it all the time. Never had any problems with my tattoos using this cream ask your tattoo artist.
I’m a tattooer. The most ultimate, foolproof way to heal a tattoo is this: wrap it in saran wrap after you get it. About 5 or 6 hours later, take it off, scrub it down and get all the discharge off. Air it out for 45 minutes. Repeat this 3 times a day for the first 1-3 days. Stop wrapping it when if you take off the saran wrap, it’s just sweat instead of discharge. Then, just leave it alone. It will peel and flake but will NOT scab. DO NOT moisturize the flakes. Let them fall off naturally, and when the skin is tight and shiny, THEN moisturize. This way is straight up the best, and most comfortable way of healing. I’ve tried everything and this way provides the best heals. It’s a bit needy, but the outcome is worth it.
Inkademic basically it pulls all the discharge out and kept under the Saran Wrap , (that’s what causes the scabbing) and you wash it away which prevents it from scabbing. It will flake, but won’t scab. As long as you clean it and air it out for 45 minutes, it’s an amazing way to heal a tattoo. It is a needy way to do it, but I seriously have seen the best heals this way!
Jonathan D'Orazio I meant just scabbing but it’s been a week since my tattoo and it’s just peeling now no more scabbing. I guess the tat artist must’ve tattooed too deep
I just had a rough day...needed help for my first tattoo, this helped alot! Also it was very comfortable watching it! I have to admit i fell asleep in the middle of the video so i had to rewatch it 😂
THE chillest voice ever! Just read books to me and my life will be complete. I got most of my latest tattoo yesterday but I wish I had found his channel the night before last when I couldn't sleep because my nerves were getting to me so bad.
I had my first tattoo two days ago and was kinda freaking out until I found your channel, it really helped me calm down and your voice is so nice! You should make a guide for beginners haha it would help a lot of people
I was stressed about other things when I started watching this video, and now I can't remember what I was stressed about because your voice is so relaxing, haha. Thank you. :)
I got my first tattoo two weeks ago and I loved the healing process so far. It's nice to see how it changes every day. And gladly I've been healing it quite well.
Wow you sir seem so reliable. Just got my first tattoo a week ago and i have been watching your videos for days. Tons of help! Made the tattoo journey like a normal medical precesiour.
Thanks for this, it helped me to "normalize" my thoughts about my fresh tattoo 😌 Also a special thank you for your pronunciation and your diction ! All is very clear, calm and understandable for non-native english speakers ! 🙏🏻 (Following your channel from France 🇨🇵 😉)
Very informative video. I just got my first tattoo today, now I know what to expect during the healing process. As others commented, you really have a beautiful voice.
Great video! I was worried after took sanidern off on 4th day and lots of irritation. None of my other tattoos were like this but they were also not color so def having a different experience with healing color tattoos. Also I put on new latex fetish gloves on day 5 bcz excited for new latex and that was real dumb. They got irritated super quick from powder and latex tightness but it’s all good and will keep following my usual tattooist healing protocol that always speeds things along. Great video. So helpful and feel relieved 😌
I've had spots that were suuuuuper angry. To the point that I was worried it was infected. I trusted my body, though. I've also never used the Saniderm brand so I can't speak to that. I feel you, though!
just got my first tattoo yesterday and woke up this morning to it being raised and sore and immediately started freaking out. this calmed me down a lot i just gotta follow the steps and trust the process
Aw, thanks! It's just me being me. 😂 If you want to just hear me talk and zone out, I have an ASMR channel (that I totally ignore but I would love to flesh out): ruclips.net/channel/UCsEcBhCdBJs0Hz0QvV2NZcg
Omg the voice 😍 your amazing. Like listening to Bob Ross totally. Find my tattoo guy for sure. Thank you for being so settle. It helps and for my anxiety
This was so incredibly helpful!! I just got my first tattoo, and bc of my anxiety I've been beyond paranoid about how its healing 😅 it's such a relief to know that thats what its supposed to look like! Thank you so much 🙏♥️
Hey man! This content is amazing and so helpful! I’ve wanted a tattoo for YEARS and I found your videos and wow! I feel like all the questions I’ve had were answered. Keep up the good work! You’ve got a fan for life right here!
It's amazing how every tattoo I get, they heal completely different. The worst is when I get these big silver skin coverings over some of my work for upwards of 3 months. I hate it. Dealing with it right now on a wrist piece I just got. There's one small detail on it that is so clouded over that you can't even make out the small tooth in the piece. I always worry that the detail will be lost forever, but sure enough it comes back. To me, that's amazing though. The fact that skin can move in a sense, but return perfectly to the way that it was as it de swells so-to-speak
thank you for this video. i just got my first bigger tattoo a week ago, only had outline tattoos before, new one has outlines but some filled in black parts. it’s just healing a little different than my other ones bc of the filled in parts, i don’t think i’m a concerning way, but i just got super anxious and nervous about it. i’ve been googling for a couple hours trying to make myself feel better but this was the final thing that really made me feel better. i just need to be patient and clean and moisturize it and it should be okay. thank you😭
I got a tattoo on my ribs (not my first one so I knew how to take good care of it) about 2 months ago and really wasn't able to wear loose shirts because of some circumstances the first 5 days or so and by day 3 I reaaaally started to freak out because my skin was irritated (as yours was on day 2). I started to look up for infections since by day 4 it was still and also hurting as hell (!!!)(although I wasn't wearing bras fyi) and everything I found out on the internet was terrifying so I decided to calm down and just continue taking care of it and everything started to heal nicely. To sum up. Why the fuck didn't I find your video😭 it would've helped me so much😩🤦🏽♀️ Thank you for sharing your healing process with us and thank you so much for reassuring that everything is 'perfectly fine' through out the whole video!🙈
I'm glad it worked out! And sorry you didn't see it earlier! 😁 I felt it was important to demonstrate just what goes on in an honest and documented way that isn't trying to sell you something or tell you your tattoo will fall off if you look at it wrong. 😅
really glad i found this video because i got my first tattoo and my tattoo artist didn't tell me when i could take off the wrap so i've been worried of harming the tattoo and i slept with the bandage on while losing SO much sleep over whether or not it was gonna be okay. thank you for your content!
You just made me feel better I got my red tattoo a week ago and my skin is now starting to peel and I'm freaking out it looks like I fell and my skin I badly bruised.
Great vid I just got my first Tattoo done the day I typed this and it is some great advice this really helped I was worried about my tat losing color or skin breakage but now I know how to prevent that and keep my tat clean and looking good during the healing process thank u my friend for the help also keep up the good work 👍🏻
I really just try to share some research-based content but if it helps you that makes me happy. 😊 Share with your friends! I also have an ASMR channel if you just want to hear me talk. ruclips.net/channel/UCsEcBhCdBJs0Hz0QvV2NZcg
Thank you so much! This was my first time having a colored tattoo, I had two tattoos at the same time, first one was in my nape and the other one is bellow it. In my nape part it got swollen unlike the bellow part was okay so I got worried. My tattoo artist said it was normal but im still a bit worried. And then it started to scab and got me worried more (also the bottom part scabbed as well but it didn't get swollen) I'm on day 6. The scabs slowly started to peel and its not that swollen anymore. This video really helped. Though I am a bit worried that my tattoo seems like to fade but my tattoo artist said it was normal. And I trust him he does all of my tattoos. So i'll see how this goes
New subscriber. Your channel is awesome. I watched a few and loved every one. Good and clear advice. Thank you for creating these videos. Here to stay 🙏🙏🙏💖
I think the most shocking part of getting your first tattoo is how much your skin actually leaks out of you. Ita craaazzzyyy. I had saniderm on my tattoo and after 24 hours that little piece of plastic was full of black liquid. It was a cool experience watching the healing process with my own body.... the peeling was SO HARD TO RESIST
I'm tired of people saying go see a doctor or get medical attention when it costs hundreds of dollars to see primary or urgent care professionals in this country.
How does this match your own healing speed? Does your skin scab and peel in the same way while healing? Share below!
Yup
I healed very quickly from my two first session but they were dot work with some sparse regions/negative space. I only had to cover it for 48 hours and was 'dry' after that. I still covered it but with a cloth bandage just to prevent contamination. It went through a peely stage like sunburn for a week. The whole thing including time to heal was like a bad sunburn.

@@somesortofdeliciousbiscuit3704 Yeah, the sleeve consists of large areas of very heavy solid black. A hard heal but worth it!

Getting my first tattoo for my birthday and watching this helped so much and you're relaxing voice make me feel so much better about getting it.
Anyone have a count on how many times he said “perfectly normal”?
Just trying to drive it home. 😅
take a shot every time he says it 😂
I got lucky mine healed pretty fast. I'm at one week and its pretty much all flaked off and now just looks shiny. I think the saniderm is really the best way to go.
Couldn't agree more. I've always just used the standard Tegaderm (mostly because that's what my artist has on hand) but I'd imagine the Saniderm works just as well. Soooo much better than the old way!
Mine fleaked off at 4th day
i wanna stay here forever, i can’t lie it’s pretty comforting
I just got my first tattoo 9 days ago. If it weren’t for this video, I would have thought my onion peel on my skin was something wrong I did during healing
So it's been a while. How'd it go? Is it gorgeous? 😁
i literally been freaking out the past few days lol the red is starting to peel so I’m over here like omg!!! I’m losing color 😂🥴
I want this dude to read me a bed time story
UGHH THANK YOU I WAS FREAKING OUT 😭😭
I've never used lotion on my tattoos or any wound while it was healing and had the same results. Only thing different besides the scabs aren't gooey from lotion is i healed faster than this. Not saying this is a bad idea and maybe its just me but soap an water without direct contact on it in the shower was more than enough. Thanks for video! Good stuff.
Everybody's different. What works for me might be really hard for you and vice versa. How did your last work heal? Would you do anything differently?
@@Inkademic Agreed. Everything I've had has healed fine with the exception of a couple spots I bumped on something here and there. But yea, this way they show on the video is more than likely the best way to go about healing. Better safe than sorry I guess.
I'm getting my first tattoo here soon and I'm super nervous. This helped a lot and your voice is incredibly calming!
Just got my third tat after a year from the first and second. Totally forgot what tattoo looks like in healing process. Was panicking because it was red for 4 days and realised that I slightly over moisturized so I cut off some. It is a bit tighted, itchy and some scabbing are forming on day 5 and the redness has went down significantly, some still there. I really appriciated this video because when you search for day to day healing, most of them are just written articles and just talking. Yes it is helpful but without the visual, you can't really understand what they talking about. I appreciated to have a close up visual because, obviously, I can see much more details of my tat in person and what happening. But when you watch on a screen, it doesn' truly show the states it in like the crackling, the peeling etc and it really hard to see on some pics and vides because they are so far away and the tat look well fine. So now I can fully know the stated my tat at and be careful with lotion amount and surviving the whole process. Thank you 👍👍
I used a little bit of aquaphor on the really sensitive parts. The parts
that weren't really irritated I pretty much left alone until week 2.
Then it was pretty much just gold bond ultra healing over the entire tattoo until I stopped
pealing and it came out amazing. It's very easy to over apply the
aquaphor and leads to scabbing, so I just used it to relieve the really
irritated areas. With that method I got no scabbing at all. Every time before I would use aquaphor on the whole tattoo the first week and kept scabbing up everywhere. Everyplace I scabbed I had to get a touch up. Didn't need a single spot touched up on this last one.
This is the best cream for brand new tattoos make sure you use it all the time when you're first getting that first tattoo. Wash your tattoo a couple times a day and use this cream on it all the time. Never had any problems with my tattoos using this cream ask your tattoo artist.
I know its an old video but i want to comment thank you, love your calming voice :) i feel more comfortable about my new big leg tattoo
Your voice is really making me Calm and relax to listen to your talk about tattoos
I mean, if that makes you want to subscribe and watch my other videos, I'm not going to complain. 😂
I’m a tattooer. The most ultimate, foolproof way to heal a tattoo is this: wrap it in saran wrap after you get it. About 5 or 6 hours later, take it off, scrub it down and get all the discharge off. Air it out for 45 minutes. Repeat this 3 times a day for the first 1-3 days. Stop wrapping it when if you take off the saran wrap, it’s just sweat instead of discharge. Then, just leave it alone. It will peel and flake but will NOT scab. DO NOT moisturize the flakes. Let them fall off naturally, and when the skin is tight and shiny, THEN moisturize. This way is straight up the best, and most comfortable way of healing. I’ve tried everything and this way provides the best heals. It’s a bit needy, but the outcome is worth it.
Have you found humidity (or lack thereof) has any impact on that method?
@jonathan d’orazio
what should I do if I have scabbing/ bubbling after 48 hours of getting the tattoo?
Inkademic basically it pulls all the discharge out and kept under the Saran Wrap , (that’s what causes the scabbing) and you wash it away which prevents it from scabbing. It will flake, but won’t scab. As long as you clean it and air it out for 45 minutes, it’s an amazing way to heal a tattoo. It is a needy way to do it, but I seriously have seen the best heals this way!
Danna Garcia bubbling???
Jonathan D'Orazio I meant just scabbing but it’s been a week since my tattoo and it’s just peeling now no more scabbing. I guess the tat artist must’ve tattooed too deep
I just had a rough day...needed help for my first tattoo, this helped alot! Also it was very comfortable watching it! I have to admit i fell asleep in the middle of the video so i had to rewatch it 😂
If it weren't for SEO and whatnot, I'd totally pin this comment. 😅
THE chillest voice ever! Just read books to me and my life will be complete. I got most of my latest tattoo yesterday but I wish I had found his channel the night before last when I couldn't sleep because my nerves were getting to me so bad.
I had my first tattoo two days ago and was kinda freaking out until I found your channel, it really helped me calm down and your voice is so nice! You should make a guide for beginners haha it would help a lot of people
What would you suggest would make up a video for beginners?
The amount of times you said “perfectly normal” was not perfectly normal 😂 Seriously though thanks for sharing lol
Very relaxing. At first I hated him saying its fine but then it started to sink in. Thanks for calming me down
I was stressed about other things when I started watching this video, and now I can't remember what I was stressed about because your voice is so relaxing, haha. Thank you. :)
I got my first tattoo two weeks ago and I loved the healing process so far. It's nice to see how it changes every day. And gladly I've been healing it quite well.
Voice is so calming I could fall asleep to it thought I was watching soft asmr lol😂🤍
I do that! (Though I've been neglecting it lately. I really should do more...) ruclips.net/channel/UCsEcBhCdBJs0Hz0QvV2NZcg
I’m seriously glad you talk about tattoos cause it helps my paranoid ass to not freak out
Wow you sir seem so reliable. Just got my first tattoo a week ago and i have been watching your videos for days. Tons of help! Made the tattoo journey like a normal medical precesiour.
Please can you ring me every morning to tell me my day is going to be great. BEST VOICE EVER!!
I really needed a talk with my therapist and weirdly this soothed me so much. You sound like him and I really appreciated it :)
Thank you for your calming and informative videos, everyone else make the process overwhelming
Thanks for this, it helped me to "normalize" my thoughts about my fresh tattoo 😌
Also a special thank you for your pronunciation and your diction ! All is very clear, calm and understandable for non-native english speakers ! 🙏🏻 (Following your channel from France 🇨🇵 😉)
Glad to hear it helped!
Bro ur voice calms me down. Love it
Very informative video. I just got my first tattoo today, now I know what to expect during the healing process. As others commented, you really have a beautiful voice.
I was on that freaking table covered with paper for 8 hours straight laying on my side. Idk what was worse the pain or the sweatiness 🤦🏼♀️
Brutal, right? 😅
Great video! I was worried after took sanidern off on 4th day and lots of irritation. None of my other tattoos were like this but they were also not color so def having a different experience with healing color tattoos. Also I put on new latex fetish gloves on day 5 bcz excited for new latex and that was real dumb. They got irritated super quick from powder and latex tightness but it’s all good and will keep following my usual tattooist healing protocol that always speeds things along. Great video. So helpful and feel relieved 😌
I've had spots that were suuuuuper angry. To the point that I was worried it was infected. I trusted my body, though. I've also never used the Saniderm brand so I can't speak to that. I feel you, though!
I look almost all the time at my fresh tattoo with my phone flashlight...😅 But this is way more detailed, thank u!
I want this guy to read me a bedtime story... what a great voice ❤
just got my first tattoo yesterday and woke up this morning to it being raised and sore and immediately started freaking out. this calmed me down a lot i just gotta follow the steps and trust the process
His voice is so calm I coulnd listen to him while sleeping
Your voice it's soooo calming!!!
Aw, thanks! It's just me being me. 😂 If you want to just hear me talk and zone out, I have an ASMR channel (that I totally ignore but I would love to flesh out): ruclips.net/channel/UCsEcBhCdBJs0Hz0QvV2NZcg
Omg the voice 😍 your amazing. Like listening to Bob Ross totally. Find my tattoo guy for sure. Thank you for being so settle. It helps and for my anxiety
I could listen to your voice before bed. So soothing, great tips!
Thank you so much! Really needed information. Also really appreciate your calm approach and voice, really made me feel calm! Have a good day :D
This was so incredibly helpful!! I just got my first tattoo, and bc of my anxiety I've been beyond paranoid about how its healing 😅 it's such a relief to know that thats what its supposed to look like! Thank you so much 🙏♥️
Hey man! This content is amazing and so helpful! I’ve wanted a tattoo for YEARS and I found your videos and wow! I feel like all the questions I’ve had were answered. Keep up the good work! You’ve got a fan for life right here!
Thrilled to hear it! Thank you 😊
Thank you for so much helpful info. Put me at ease while going through the healing process of my tattoo.
It's amazing how every tattoo I get, they heal completely different. The worst is when I get these big silver skin coverings over some of my work for upwards of 3 months. I hate it. Dealing with it right now on a wrist piece I just got. There's one small detail on it that is so clouded over that you can't even make out the small tooth in the piece. I always worry that the detail will be lost forever, but sure enough it comes back. To me, that's amazing though. The fact that skin can move in a sense, but return perfectly to the way that it was as it de swells so-to-speak
thank you for this video. i just got my first bigger tattoo a week ago, only had outline tattoos before, new one has outlines but some filled in black parts. it’s just healing a little different than my other ones bc of the filled in parts, i don’t think i’m a concerning way, but i just got super anxious and nervous about it. i’ve been googling for a couple hours trying to make myself feel better but this was the final thing that really made me feel better. i just need to be patient and clean and moisturize it and it should be okay. thank you😭
You could read the back of a cereal box and god would make it his ringtone 😅
this guy would make a really cool English or History teacher with his voice and tattoos
i like this, your videos are so reassuring and cover most things a person new to tattoos are worried/curious about (at least for me). so nice
As long as it's backed up by the research out there, I want to make folks aware of the reality. I'm glad you enjoyed it ♥
I got a tattoo on my ribs (not my first one so I knew how to take good care of it) about 2 months ago and really wasn't able to wear loose shirts because of some circumstances the first 5 days or so and by day 3 I reaaaally started to freak out because my skin was irritated (as yours was on day 2).
I started to look up for infections since by day 4 it was still and also hurting as hell (!!!)(although I wasn't wearing bras fyi) and everything I found out on the internet was terrifying so I decided to calm down and just continue taking care of it and everything started to heal nicely.
To sum up. Why the fuck didn't I find your video😭 it would've helped me so much😩🤦🏽♀️
Thank you for sharing your healing process with us and thank you so much for reassuring that everything is 'perfectly fine' through out the whole video!🙈
I'm glad it worked out! And sorry you didn't see it earlier! 😁 I felt it was important to demonstrate just what goes on in an honest and documented way that isn't trying to sell you something or tell you your tattoo will fall off if you look at it wrong. 😅
Inkademic oh my god you are so right! 🤣 again, thanks a lot!!
really glad i found this video because i got my first tattoo and my tattoo artist didn't tell me when i could take off the wrap so i've been worried of harming the tattoo and i slept with the bandage on while losing SO much sleep over whether or not it was gonna be okay. thank you for your content!
😂😂😂 thought the first pic was a painting on his wall....spent a minute searching for the pic😭😭
makes me feel sleepy because of the soothing voice😴😴😴
You just made me feel better I got my red tattoo a week ago and my skin is now starting to peel and I'm freaking out it looks like I fell and my skin I badly bruised.
Great vid I just got my first Tattoo done the day I typed this and it is some great advice this really helped I was worried about my tat losing color or skin breakage but now I know how to prevent that and keep my tat clean and looking good during the healing process thank u my friend for the help also keep up the good work 👍🏻
Once I got my color done, I was super weirded out by the onion skin, so thank you for being the voice of reason telling me it’s OK! 😍
so therapeutic listening to this
I just got a tattoo a week ago bigger that I used to and this is so reassuring thank you !
P.s Your voice is so calm I love it 😀
I really just try to share some research-based content but if it helps you that makes me happy. 😊 Share with your friends! I also have an ASMR channel if you just want to hear me talk. ruclips.net/channel/UCsEcBhCdBJs0Hz0QvV2NZcg
hey man thanks i needed to see this i was worried about my tatts. feel better now
Bruh that voice tho 🤌🏽😌 im gunna need his voice on the calm app or some sort of sleep video cus it’s just wonderful n soothing 🥰
Thank you so much! This was my first time having a colored tattoo, I had two tattoos at the same time, first one was in my nape and the other one is bellow it. In my nape part it got swollen unlike the bellow part was okay so I got worried. My tattoo artist said it was normal but im still a bit worried. And then it started to scab and got me worried more (also the bottom part scabbed as well but it didn't get swollen) I'm on day 6. The scabs slowly started to peel and its not that swollen anymore. This video really helped. Though I am a bit worried that my tattoo seems like to fade but my tattoo artist said it was normal. And I trust him he does all of my tattoos. So i'll see how this goes
New subscriber. Your channel is awesome. I watched a few and loved every one. Good and clear advice. Thank you for creating these videos. Here to stay 🙏🙏🙏💖
I got my first tattoo yesterday, this really eased my anxiousness of the healing process 😂
I think the most shocking part of getting your first tattoo is how much your skin actually leaks out of you. Ita craaazzzyyy. I had saniderm on my tattoo and after 24 hours that little piece of plastic was full of black liquid. It was a cool experience watching the healing process with my own body.... the peeling was SO HARD TO RESIST
Absolutely! Your first tattoo is a trial in both discipline and patience. 😫 😅
You have such a lovely, calm demeanor. Pleasure to watch and listen
I have my arm fully tattooed and I’m still watching these videos 😂
your voice is making me so calm
I'm tired of people saying go see a doctor or get medical attention when it costs hundreds of dollars to see primary or urgent care professionals in this country.
