Holy wow, the story about the used to be dancer and the face tattoo is just so so creepy. And the comment that you mention that said "yes" - like... being pressured to say yes, when you don't want to, is not a super common issue. This is why asking permission to touch, and only going forward when getting an enthusiastic yes is so so important to both teach, and learn to ask for. I was terrible about saying no to men's advances when I was in my 20's, and that was just random whiny entitled guys - who ultimately where harmless. I can't imagine the pressure when someone is an authority in something (like owning a shop), or someone who is doing you a "favour" tells you to let them do something else.
Honestly I have a tattoo on my wrist that I am not the fondest of because I had a clear idea of what I wanted and was pressured to get this instead. Now it's just kind of there and not one I care about much 😒. Nobody should be pressured into something they don't want on their body especially if it's there forever.
@@catharinrin I grew up near there, and based off the photo of the studio, I'm fairly sure that place was on my "maybe?" list of artists at some point... 😬
Coercion. Is. Not. Free. Choice. The idea that being forced to go along with something is the same as willingly choosing it is so frustrating and I'm so glad you brought attention to it. I'm so glad that girl is free of that awful tattoo
Omg...I felt SO bad and got quite emotional for that young lady getting branded on HER FACE. How can a (disgusting) human being do this to another?! 🤬🤯🤬 I’m glad she managed to get this lasered. I can’t believe it... poor lady 😢😢😢 On a more positive note, great reaction video! I love your reactions, positivity and humor sense 😉😉😉 xxx
Tattoo artist red flag: When the tattoo artist complains about doing a greyscale the whole time they are doing your greyscale cause they like color tattoos better…
Yes literally one off the worst parts off getting my upper thigh tattoo (20h in 3 sessions) was not getting to fart for 6 hours. I would take my bathrooms breaks and get as many farts out as possible so I would be fine again afterwards lmao. You also can't really clench because then it will be hard for you artist and also they apply pressure to you which makes it much much worse. Definitely took a break before just to fart
Its kinda funny that she was defending her spider web elbow tattoo as "a common filler tattoo" when she had no other tattoos on her arm. How you going to get a filler tattoo as your first tattoo😂
I've heard of some tattoo artists doing some shady s#%t but the guy that put the dollar bill motif on that poor girls face....that's some next level Aholery
DO NOT PRESSURE YOUR CLIENTS INTO THINGS THEY DO NOT WANT. AHHH. There’s a difference between giving constructive advice and just pressuring them to where they feel as though they can’t say no. If you do this, you don’t deserve to be a tattoo artist.
The spiderweb on the elbows is a super popular tattoo, I've never heard of it having racist origins. Not to say I don't believe it. Yeah, the girl who got it had a garbage attitude, but if she genuinely didn't know (like so many other people) how could she possibly know to look it up to see if it had a racist meaning? You can yell at her to do some research all you want. It doesn't change the fact that you can't research something if you don't even know it exists.
it's how she went about it afterwards she could have said that she just liked the look or but instead she insulted people and lied about it when she was too lazy to look it up even after getting comments about it.
Yea true but also saying that "oh your tattoo has a racist meaning" and just ignoring the person who got the tattoo saying that it's just a filler tattoo to her like your just pushing your beliefs on her.
I'm late, but as someone with a spiderweb elbow tattoo, there are a lot of people who make the prison comment online. Which really does get old. I knew about it being a common prison tattoo beforehand but the r@cist meaning is new to me. The meaning I consistently saw, was that each line represented a year, and could also represent being entangled within the system. If that disgusting meaning is true I hope more people spread that information because I never saw that whilst researching that. I would never want a poc to think they're not safe around me. Anywho I'll end this ramble now.
Omg no. There is a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE between being convinced by someone you believe is a professional artist to get a piece of their art to be on your skin, and them taking advantage of that to ink a permanent joke/insult about you on your face for the rest of your life because they’re just an asshole who wanted to against your wishes. Say I meet my friend at a car body shop their friend owns because he offered to repaint their car for free. It looks great, so when he offers to do mine for free too I say yes. But he won’t make it purple like I want...well, it’s fine I figure, it’ll still look good right? The one I saw him do looks great so I trust they’re doing me a favor to drum up business so it’ll be great work! So when they then decide to put a 7 foot penis on my jeep that cannot ever be easily covered up, and would cost me thousands to remove that I’ll never be able afford? Well now they’ve just completely fucked my life up for absolutely no reason! And obviously I can’t afford to fix it because if I could, I wouldn’t have been driving the old Jeep in the first place! But I needed a car to work and now my future job is on the line and what’s even worse is that everyone is gonna blame me for saying yes even though I had absolutely no reason to assume he’d do that and every reason to assume it would be just like the car before mine. So imagine all that, but now remember it’s her FACE. First off, a good tattoo artist should never be pressuring a young person to let them do their first face tattoo. But secondly, him arguing with her to talk her out of the small, simple tattoo she wanted to freehand a LARGE disrespectful joke on her face tells he knew exactly what he was doing because he somehow thought she deserved that. What an absolutely vile, disgusting, pitiful excuse for a human being, much less an “artist”.
The fart rant killed me 😂 Coming from a fellow gassy gal, this just was so relatable and hilarious. Pretty sure I’m lactose intolerant but I choose to ignore it because dairy is awesome. So yeah anyways, you’re not alone chief.👯♀️💨
I feel so bad for the girl who had her face tattooed to brand her as a stripper. As soon as she pointed to the dollar bill design I knew what he had done. It’s so sad. I’m glad she’s able to get it removed. And that tattoo artist can go and kick rocks
Your spider web is fine. Intent matters. The young lady wasn't complaining about people getting the tattoo as much as she was complaining about people using their prior ignorance to excuse their current actions.
I started a scar cover up tattoo on my thigh today. I sat for about 3 hours, which I know isn’t very long. All of the linework is done and a little bit of shading but I’ll have to go back in 6 weeks to finish it. It’s a nature fairy/dryad with a little cute dragon and it’s going to mostly be black and grey but with different shades of green throughout💚🖤
I have had a long mental health journey and I am planning on getting scar cover up tattoos on my thighs as soon as I turn 18. I of course don’t know what kind of scars you are covering but I hope everything goes well!!! 🤍
3 hours on a thigh piece is long (imo) cause for me thigh is a surprisingly spicy area and the having a tattoo done over scaring is even more painful so I will say you did damn well!! Sounds like a great tattoo 😍
The way you talk about the process of getting tattooed losing its excitement but still wanting to do it for the end result is exactly how some sewing projects feel.
My husband and I have done trading for tattoos in the past. He traded his PS4 for 2 tattoos by a wonderful artist and I have a 4 hour session covered since I traded sewing time (made his daughter a Halloween costume). My artist and I were old friends and happily traded art/skilled work for art
After birthing 4 rather large babies getting tattoos barely even register to be honest - but I do think that your own experience of pain plays a part as it can change your perspective. I have fibromyalgia, I’m in pain on a regular basis anyway, through the years I’ve developed quite the high pain tolerance. Im definitely not having more babies but have two tattoos lined up
Your spider web is completely fine. Simply having webbing as part of a larger motif is not an issue. The racist connotations are specifically for the image of a *web on the elbow.*
The child birth thing is low key very similar! My friend who’s a tattoo artist says “if we remembered how bad the pain was, we wouldn’t keep getting them.” What happens is that our brains purposefully “forget” how bad really intense pain is. So kinda like child birth…our brains need to forget the pain in order to keep reproducing. CRAY
‘You’re twenty one! You’re an adult’ have you never experienced anxiety? Imagine telling someone ‘Yeah no-‘ after they trashed your idea- and was doing something for free- and they were your friends friend- not yours,
I love how through your videos reactions to people tattooing themselves at home just slowly changed to "ah, shit, here we go again, but this one is not that bad, I guess" lol but I really appreciate that you always remind your viewers that it's not safe to do this
As someone with the same issue as you the fart tangent was too real 😂 the face tattoo story is awful, that poor girl and to have that done to her when she was only 21 and then to not be able to afford removal for the majority of her twenties when she should have been living her best life is just awful, I don’t think it’s fair to blame her either when being tattooed does involve a level of trust, it’s not her fault he turned out to be so untrustworthy.
The face tattoo girl is the main reason I only stick to one tattoo artist (and his apprentice) I’ll just never be trusting enough to get one while traveling 😬
I just did the math I've been getting tattooed for 26 years. I usually get about 5 steps from the door when leaving the shop and let it rip. 💨 My artist did a freebie on me, he wanted to practice doing portraits and he asked me, so I naturally said yes. The guy is like my brother.
Holy shit! I had no idea that the spiderwebs on the elbow ment any of that! They have always been some of my favorite tattoos and I was heavily considering getting them. I'll never get them how and I'll never be able to look at people who have them same way. I'm sure most people just have them as filler (I hope!) But I'll always love key be wondering
YEAAAAH. with the vid around 3 minutes. The more tattoos I get. The less I can handle the pain and all. I am so glad my first tattoo was really big. I don't know if i can go back to go through all of that again.
Been getting tattooed for 10+ years too and I'm the opposite... The process of getting tattooed (and the aftercare) have become exponentially more meaningful and nourishing over the years. But I am not as excited about how it looks as I used to? Like I don't stare at it all the time etc. It takes me a bit longer to actually get used to new art on my body. I'm like 'ha I forgot this was here!' It could be cause I got a few flash tattoos in the past few years and while I love the art I get less excited about those (still like them tho!) Looking forward to planning a large custom piece soon!!! I guess it shows tattoo feelings are varied and even ambiguous at times.
I love watching this seeing the different tattoos and the good and bad it's just so satisfying to me I love my tattoos and this is just a relaxing videos to me thank you for doing these it's amazing.
I think there have been studies that show that women tend to not remember the level of pain from childbirth. I wonder if it's something similar. You want something bad enough and your brain tricks you.
4:25 I had one of my calves done and after 3 hours my artist went to the bathroom and I booked it out the back door for 2 seconds and came back in. The guy was like "You went out for a smoke?" and I was just honest with "I've been holding in like 2 hours of farts and no way in hell was I gunna rip infront of you". He laughed his ass of and said he appreciated that 😂😂
this made me feel good, thank you. we took in a foster kitten with a 50/50 survival rate, and unfortunately she didn’t make it. this video was a bright spot in my day after a LOT of crying. thank you.
I've looked forward to childbirth more and more every time 😅. I'm finally finishing a half sleeve (I got interrupted by pregnancies between sections!) and I'm so excited. I'm NOT excited for the healing process but I'm excited for the part where I can stop saying "it's a sleeve but it's not done yet!" for years now 😅😅😅
Man this is so interesting, im 19 but my connection to tattoos started from appreciating prison tattoos so the spiderweb elbow tatt is an instant red flag, but my knowledge of artist etiquette is lacking compared to yours. Thanks for your helpful videos :)
This is exactly what I needed, I'm having such a bad day and watching your videos helps me relax so much. Thank you for being such an amazing person :)
I am working on my bachelor's thesis and I feel like shit whole week and today is the worst, all my strength is leaving me, thank you for this amazing video, you always help me to relax 💜💜
Okay but on the gass thing… I will avoid certain foods before getting tatted. I also shower and wear clean socks and clean clothes because I am worried about smelling 😭
ALWAYS check if a tattoo idea has some meaning behind it. I wanted to get some paws on a certain area of my body because i love cats, turns out the placement was a way for zoophiles to regocnize eachother
The spiderweb tattoo is new to me also as a black person, we were both educated! Really helps me open my eyes to those cause I know the obviously racist tattoos but more discreet ones is so important, and I plan on becoming a tattoo artist so this is mega important to me
i got a spiderweb tattoo on my elbow as my first tattoo, and i only knew it as a "prison tattoo". I think it's a pretty common tattoo, and i think it CAN totally have a racist meaning if you put it into context or have it as yout only tattoo. But I'm going for a forest-themed sleeve so the spiderweb just fit right in and my tattoo artist that did the spiderweb was poc and tattooed for a while so i think often times meaning can change bc i'm positive they wouldn't have tattoed something racist on me 💀
Heyaaa, have a wonderful evening Lauren! ✨💙 Getting my first tattoo(s) in less than a month, travelling from Belgium to England just for it 😍 Any tips for aftercare in spring/summer? little nervous about that haha P.S cannot wait to submit my tattoo(s) to your form after they're doone, one will be a pet portrait
Keep it covered if you're able, so it's out of the sun. If you can't then make sure you wear suncream. Heck wearing suncream is good practice regardless, gotta look after your skin
I just got a new tattoo and tbh for a whole month if it can't be covered by clothing I wear a big bandage over it when i'm outside! and when it's healed I wear spf 50 sunscreen religiously
Oooo sounds hella fun!! Keeping it out of the sun is the best one wether that’s wearing clothes over the tattoo or just staying in as much shade as possible! Once the tattoo is healed (about 4 weeks +) you can wear spf !!
I just got home from a 2 days tattoo session on my shin and knee, most brutal pain I have ever experienced 10/10, but the tattoo is amazing, if you ever do another reaction to viewer's tattoos, I will submit it!
I'm the opposite. I'm really burpy via reflux, so I'm always worried about eating & drinking with others. Also, I hardly ever fart. When I do, I'm mostly alone, so noone notices. Expect periods & diarrhea, those are horrible times.
I’ve never related to someone so much I also can’t burp it’s hell like people burp for a reason and not being able to is painful and it causes acid reflux which can literally feel like a heart attack.
I didn't realise you still couldn't burp, we need to taaaaalk, cause I UNDERSTAND. I couldn't either, until a few years ago, and it's complete hell. My life was miserable. I totally get it. All I can say is really take the time to confront your emetophobia because that's the link. Once I tackled that, I was able to then LEARN how to burp. It's hard to explain how to learn, when you don't know how! It's more of a relaxing movement than a pushing movement. And don't listen to the doctors saying "it's just something your body doesn't do" you will do it if you practice! I feel you ! 😭❤️
New tattoo etiquette video from Lauren: fart on your artist! It will be splend . . . spleh . . . splenda . . . good! 😉😂 Just picking, Lauren! Another good video! 😊
It's amazing the level of disrespect that "tattoo artist" had for that poor girl. So sad. Everyone deserves to be treated as a person and it says so much about that individual that he thought so little of her. Disgusting.
Your comment about childbirth and tattoos is spot on, I just told that to the guy doing my shin yesterday. Probably is the reason why I can only stand to do it about once a year because it hurts too much and always leaves me feeling like wtf did I do to myself?
Another great Tiktok compilation! Thank u, from Massachusetts.🤘🏻😋 I was in a situation where I was almost tattooed at 14 yrs old & I COMPLETELY agree, it's a really bad idea! I'm not sure if ur familiar, considering u live across the pond, but there's a HUGE motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South Dakota. My Dad, my step-mom & I went there a bunch of times. Its a place where most all motorcyclists are dying to go & I still love it despite the chaos..lol.. Anyway, this one time we walked by a tattoo studio in the middle of the rally (🚩) & my Dad dared me to get one! Being "Daddy's little girl" at that age, I wanted to show him how cool I was. LOL 🙈 I'm sooo glad my stepmother protested & made him call off the dare because IDK WTH I would've ended up with & who knows if that studio was even good. 😝 He's prob laughing in the afterlife right as I type this! ☮💜☮
These videos have allowed myself to realise I haven't been myself fully and hidden parts of myself to fit societies view and basically I need to get my tattoos
I legit can't burb 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I feel this on a spiritual level and I have gastro issues and I hate being out with people long or eating in public situation. Lord my gassiness causing me so much stress
I hate stories like this, getting a tattoo is a vulnerable moment where you give your body to someone expecting something out of them. Just because some people can't stand up for themselves doesn't mean is a free for all to exploit them
Lauren you are so lovely; it is refreshing to see someone learn and spread respect through their videos. It’s always easy to listen to you and I love your content
Also, I’m Hindu but unlike my family I am very white. I had to think about symbolism and how for example the swastika went from a symbol of goodness to hate, I would never get anything remotely looking like that because even though I might know it’s symbolism and how it’s so far from Nazis- it could be misunderstood and has been largely ruined. The negative connotations and presumption it’s not Hindu is enough to make me think I wouldn’t want it. I don’t want others to presume I’m something I’m not and have all that burden; it means more that people are safe and comfortable. The spider web person is acting out. It’s one thing to just do something and not know, but it’s another to do something and be told it’s symbolism- then lash out like this for being told. At the end of the day, it makes people question their safety. She could cover it or amend it with some black work. Or, she can continue this journey of having to explain. She can’t be mad that people are voicing concern. We all have to grow and shouldn’t silence conversation.
Just wanted to say that spider web elbow tattoos have soooo many different meanings... it's not really a racist tattoo if you can say there are a couple different means/reasons why someone would have it and also if it's not a super common meaning. I have one (I'm mixed race and defo not a racist as I'm super proud of my black heritage) that I got for the aesthetic after a bit of research, I didn't see anything about its racist meaning. Only a month or two after, someone asked me about it and said they thought it was racist (the only person to ever mention it to me as well). Basically, it's dependent on context. Of course, I can understand that some people might take offence (the first tattoo shop I ever walked in had swastikas on the wall, and that was terrifying), but I would say with how common spider web elbow tattoos that the majority of people with them have no idea about any racist meaning. I'm clearly not an expert this is just my opinion.
Here's my hot take on anyone under 18 getting a tattoo: just don't. Wait. I know you are excited and even if your parents are "cool" and allow you to get one please just... Think about it. If I got any single one tattoo I thought of getting when I was 14-16 I would be getting a lot of laser removal 🤣
That tattoo artist should have to pay for what he did, the fact he got away with that is gross and at the very least he should be publicly exposed to prevent other victims. How many people must he have done something similar to?? And just got away with it..
i have a kinda long list of future tattoos i want (as i keep forgetting) and thay are all things that are important to me. i should probably search if any of them are offensive in any way. thank you to whoever made that tiktok about the spider web one. also i am totally gonna get a tattoo on my left arm somewhere that i can color in with glitter pens every day
I always say I feel like every tattoo I get is more painful than the last. Idk if it’s the techniques that are changing, if it’s my age making it worse, but I love tattoos and love getting tattoos but it hurts more and more every time and I can not handle them as well as I could in my early twenties now that I’m in my thirties
about gas, I’m the opposite which means that anytime I drink something remotely carbonated I have to burp directly after or just become extremely bloated 😭
There was a girl I went to high school with and we were freshman. She was a transfer student who came in half way through the year. She was 13 and had a tattoo on her collar bone and wore revealing clothes that showed it off.
I don’t want to download Tiktok and never be able to put down my phone, so I’m living vicariously through you lol. I love these videos
Samee
Ya know that joke where the girl is like "girl, don't do it. It's not worth it" then her friend said "I'm not gonna do it... I did it"? I'm the friend that did it with tiktok. I have the app. I watch more RUclips, though, but I have started using it just as much.
My watch time on TikTok today is 16 hours 🧍 (that’s the least this week)
Yeah I watch this and tiktok comps on RUclips as one rabbit hole is enough in my life 😆
Same! I’ve never downloaded it and never will no thank you
That tattoo artist used his power to demean and brand her. How vile, that is one of the worst stories I have heard!
💯💯💯🤬🤬🤬
thats evil pooor woman
The fact that that “artist” had the dollar bill stripper “joke” PREPARED and READY is such a red flag (in the midst of all the other red flags)
Holy wow, the story about the used to be dancer and the face tattoo is just so so creepy. And the comment that you mention that said "yes" - like... being pressured to say yes, when you don't want to, is not a super common issue. This is why asking permission to touch, and only going forward when getting an enthusiastic yes is so so important to both teach, and learn to ask for.
I was terrible about saying no to men's advances when I was in my 20's, and that was just random whiny entitled guys - who ultimately where harmless. I can't imagine the pressure when someone is an authority in something (like owning a shop), or someone who is doing you a "favour" tells you to let them do something else.

That’s literally what I was thinking, it’s not even a filler LOL
Such a good point 🤣
I thought the same thing, but also it's SHODDY AS FUCK. The lines are all sorts of fucked up.
It's just a common tattoo overall.

I have fibromyalgia, I’m in pain on a regular basis anyway, through the years I’ve developed quite the high pain tolerance. Im definitely not having more babies but have two tattoos lined up
Your spider web is completely fine. Simply having webbing as part of a larger motif is not an issue. The racist connotations are specifically for the image of a *web on the elbow.*
Vile is exactly the right word for the situation with the face tattoo. Makes me want to cry.
The child birth thing is low key very similar! My friend who’s a tattoo artist says “if we remembered how bad the pain was, we wouldn’t keep getting them.” What happens is that our brains purposefully “forget” how bad really intense pain is. So kinda like child birth…our brains need to forget the pain in order to keep reproducing. CRAY
‘You’re twenty one! You’re an adult’ have you never experienced anxiety? Imagine telling someone ‘Yeah no-‘ after they trashed your idea- and was doing something for free- and they were your friends friend- not yours,
I love how through your videos reactions to people tattooing themselves at home just slowly changed to "ah, shit, here we go again, but this one is not that bad, I guess" lol
but I really appreciate that you always remind your viewers that it's not safe to do this
"Do not try this at home... except for me when I'm trying it at home" 😂
As someone with the same issue as you the fart tangent was too real 😂 the face tattoo story is awful, that poor girl and to have that done to her when she was only 21 and then to not be able to afford removal for the majority of her twenties when she should have been living her best life is just awful, I don’t think it’s fair to blame her either when being tattooed does involve a level of trust, it’s not her fault he turned out to be so untrustworthy.
The face tattoo girl is the main reason I only stick to one tattoo artist (and his apprentice) I’ll just never be trusting enough to get one while traveling 😬
One of my best friends is a tattoo artist and even then I could never imagine trying to get a free tattoo. It’s an art form
I just did the math I've been getting tattooed for 26 years.
I usually get about 5 steps from the door when leaving the shop and let it rip. 💨 My artist did a freebie on me, he wanted to practice doing portraits and he asked me, so I naturally said yes. The guy is like my brother.
Holy shit! I had no idea that the spiderwebs on the elbow ment any of that! They have always been some of my favorite tattoos and I was heavily considering getting them. I'll never get them how and I'll never be able to look at people who have them same way. I'm sure most people just have them as filler (I hope!) But I'll always love key be wondering
YEAAAAH. with the vid around 3 minutes.
The more tattoos I get. The less I can handle the pain and all.
I am so glad my first tattoo was really big. I don't know if i can go back to go through all of that again.
Been getting tattooed for 10+ years too and I'm the opposite... The process of getting tattooed (and the aftercare) have become exponentially more meaningful and nourishing over the years. But I am not as excited about how it looks as I used to? Like I don't stare at it all the time etc. It takes me a bit longer to actually get used to new art on my body. I'm like 'ha I forgot this was here!' It could be cause I got a few flash tattoos in the past few years and while I love the art I get less excited about those (still like them tho!) Looking forward to planning a large custom piece soon!!! I guess it shows tattoo feelings are varied and even ambiguous at times.
I love watching this seeing the different tattoos and the good and bad it's just so satisfying to me I love my tattoos and this is just a relaxing videos to me thank you for doing these it's amazing.
She needs to make a video with Roly....i would liveeeee for it! Would love to see them both in a video🤩🤩🤩
I think there have been studies that show that women tend to not remember the level of pain from childbirth. I wonder if it's something similar. You want something bad enough and your brain tricks you.
My day is always instantly better when I see a new treacle tatts video. 💖
😭💖
4:25 I had one of my calves done and after 3 hours my artist went to the bathroom and I booked it out the back door for 2 seconds and came back in.
The guy was like "You went out for a smoke?" and I was just honest with "I've been holding in like 2 hours of farts and no way in hell was I gunna rip infront of you".
He laughed his ass of and said he appreciated that 😂😂
I’m so happy to see this upload I’m having a rubbish evening!
this made me feel good, thank you. we took in a foster kitten with a 50/50 survival rate, and unfortunately she didn’t make it. this video was a bright spot in my day after a LOT of crying. thank you.
I've looked forward to childbirth more and more every time 😅. I'm finally finishing a half sleeve (I got interrupted by pregnancies between sections!) and I'm so excited. I'm NOT excited for the healing process but I'm excited for the part where I can stop saying "it's a sleeve but it's not done yet!" for years now 😅😅😅
Man this is so interesting, im 19 but my connection to tattoos started from appreciating prison tattoos so the spiderweb elbow tatt is an instant red flag, but my knowledge of artist etiquette is lacking compared to yours. Thanks for your helpful videos :)
The inability to burp is called RCPD. This can be corrected by a simple outpatient procedure.
This is exactly what I needed, I'm having such a bad day and watching your videos helps me relax so much. Thank you for being such an amazing person :)
I’m so sorry to hear you’re having a bad day 😩 big hugs to you 💖
I am working on my bachelor's thesis and I feel like shit whole week and today is the worst, all my strength is leaving me, thank you for this amazing video, you always help me to relax 💜💜
So sorry to hear you’re not having a great week! You can do this!! Sending all my love and strength 💖
@@treacletatts thank you so much, I appreciate it! I wish for you that all of your days are beautiful 💜
I've never been grumpy after a tattoo I'm always super hyped and feeling great and then tired as hell real quick
"... I probably could on command" had me hit that LIKE before finishing the video :D
Okay but on the gass thing… I will avoid certain foods before getting tatted. I also shower and wear clean socks and clean clothes because I am worried about smelling 😭
Hello gorgeous hope you are having a great day I love when I catch a video early. Lol
I always look forward to your delightful, "Hello my dahlings!" 🥰🥰🥰
THIS HAIR ON YOU LAURENNNNN you look amazing and i love your content
Thinking back to when I was 13..... I'd have tons of Good Charlotte, Simple Plan and Green Day tattoos 🤣🤣🤣
ALWAYS check if a tattoo idea has some meaning behind it. I wanted to get some paws on a certain area of my body because i love cats, turns out the placement was a way for zoophiles to regocnize eachother
What is the area? I've been wanting to get my cats paw prints tattooed for a while but now I'm not sure 😬😬
The spiderweb tattoo is new to me also as a black person, we were both educated! Really helps me open my eyes to those cause I know the obviously racist tattoos but more discreet ones is so important, and I plan on becoming a tattoo artist so this is mega important to me
i got a spiderweb tattoo on my elbow as my first tattoo, and i only knew it as a "prison tattoo". I think it's a pretty common tattoo, and i think it CAN totally have a racist meaning if you put it into context or have it as yout only tattoo. But I'm going for a forest-themed sleeve so the spiderweb just fit right in and my tattoo artist that did the spiderweb was poc and tattooed for a while so i think often times meaning can change bc i'm positive they wouldn't have tattoed something racist on me 💀
Yes! My week's been SPLENDIFIC! ✨🥰😂 I'm gonna use that from now on btw 😂
Heyaaa, have a wonderful evening Lauren! ✨💙 Getting my first tattoo(s) in less than a month, travelling from Belgium to England just for it 😍
Any tips for aftercare in spring/summer? little nervous about that haha
P.S cannot wait to submit my tattoo(s) to your form after they're doone, one will be a pet portrait
Placement?
Keep it covered if you're able, so it's out of the sun. If you can't then make sure you wear suncream. Heck wearing suncream is good practice regardless, gotta look after your skin
@@deethkhl Inner & outer forearm
I just got a new tattoo and tbh for a whole month if it can't be covered by clothing I wear a big bandage over it when i'm outside! and when it's healed I wear spf 50 sunscreen religiously
Oooo sounds hella fun!! Keeping it out of the sun is the best one wether that’s wearing clothes over the tattoo or just staying in as much shade as possible! Once the tattoo is healed (about 4 weeks +) you can wear spf !!
I just got home from a 2 days tattoo session on my shin and knee, most brutal pain I have ever experienced 10/10, but the tattoo is amazing, if you ever do another reaction to viewer's tattoos, I will submit it!
I'm the opposite. I'm really burpy via reflux, so I'm always worried about eating & drinking with others. Also, I hardly ever fart. When I do, I'm mostly alone, so noone notices. Expect periods & diarrhea, those are horrible times.
same!
Oh God period poots are the worst. LIKE I'M SORRY BUT MY BODY IS DOING A THING RN AND I CAN'T HOLD IT IN SOMETIMES STOP 😭😂
I feel you Lauren, I can’t burp either. All farts 😂
SPLENDELISIS ❗ and we got a new cute word.
I’ve never related to someone so much I also can’t burp it’s hell like people burp for a reason and not being able to is painful and it causes acid reflux which can literally feel like a heart attack.
I didn't realise you still couldn't burp, we need to taaaaalk, cause I UNDERSTAND. I couldn't either, until a few years ago, and it's complete hell. My life was miserable. I totally get it. All I can say is really take the time to confront your emetophobia because that's the link. Once I tackled that, I was able to then LEARN how to burp. It's hard to explain how to learn, when you don't know how! It's more of a relaxing movement than a pushing movement. And don't listen to the doctors saying "it's just something your body doesn't do" you will do it if you practice! I feel you ! 😭❤️
New tattoo etiquette video from Lauren: fart on your artist! It will be splend . . . spleh . . . splenda . . . good! 😉😂
Just picking, Lauren! Another good video! 😊
Ffs Josh 😂😂😂
Omg I love your laugh 😭❤️
Honestly the last person who said it's their first tattoo? I wanna get tattooed by them rn
It's amazing the level of disrespect that "tattoo artist" had for that poor girl. So sad. Everyone deserves to be treated as a person and it says so much about that individual that he thought so little of her. Disgusting.
I have a 6 hour tattoo next week 😳😭🥲 I’m so excited 🥰 it’s Spider-Man themed
As a Spider-Man fan this sounds amazing !! Have a great session !!
@@treacletatts thank you!! I’ll have to share it with you once it’s done
Your comment about childbirth and tattoos is spot on, I just told that to the guy doing my shin yesterday. Probably is the reason why I can only stand to do it about once a year because it hurts too much and always leaves me feeling like wtf did I do to myself?
I can’t wait to turn 18 and get tattoos… For now I’ll be waiting, and watching your videos!
Another great Tiktok compilation! Thank u, from Massachusetts.🤘🏻😋 I was in a situation where I was almost tattooed at 14 yrs old & I COMPLETELY agree, it's a really bad idea! I'm not sure if ur familiar, considering u live across the pond, but there's a HUGE motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South Dakota. My Dad, my step-mom & I went there a bunch of times. Its a place where most all motorcyclists are dying to go & I still love it despite the chaos..lol.. Anyway, this one time we walked by a tattoo studio in the middle of the rally (🚩) & my Dad dared me to get one! Being "Daddy's little girl" at that age, I wanted to show him how cool I was. LOL 🙈 I'm sooo glad my stepmother protested & made him call off the dare because IDK WTH I would've ended up with & who knows if that studio was even good. 😝 He's prob laughing in the afterlife right as I type this! ☮💜☮
The fart one got me! I had to watch it three times! 😂
These videos have allowed myself to realise I haven't been myself fully and hidden parts of myself to fit societies view and basically I need to get my tattoos
I legit can't burb 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I feel this on a spiritual level and I have gastro issues and I hate being out with people long or eating in public situation. Lord my gassiness causing me so much stress
As a digestively challenged human myself, I understand your pain darling.
I hate stories like this, getting a tattoo is a vulnerable moment where you give your body to someone expecting something out of them. Just because some people can't stand up for themselves doesn't mean is a free for all to exploit them
Lauren you are so lovely; it is refreshing to see someone learn and spread respect through their videos. It’s always easy to listen to you and I love your content
Also, I’m Hindu but unlike my family I am very white. I had to think about symbolism and how for example the swastika went from a symbol of goodness to hate, I would never get anything remotely looking like that because even though I might know it’s symbolism and how it’s so far from Nazis- it could be misunderstood and has been largely ruined. The negative connotations and presumption it’s not Hindu is enough to make me think I wouldn’t want it. I don’t want others to presume I’m something I’m not and have all that burden; it means more that people are safe and comfortable.
The spider web person is acting out. It’s one thing to just do something and not know, but it’s another to do something and be told it’s symbolism- then lash out like this for being told. At the end of the day, it makes people question their safety. She could cover it or amend it with some black work. Or, she can continue this journey of having to explain. She can’t be mad that people are voicing concern. We all have to grow and shouldn’t silence conversation.
I’m a gassy person too
I always have this fear that I might let one rip during a tattoo session
Not fun having to hold it in.
I get a lot of gas too and the pressure can feel like I have a UTI which is so uncomfortable so I feel your pain 😫
For plumbing 😭😂 that’s hilarious
I literally just got fresh ink 20 minutes ago. Great timing!
I can’t burp either! Never met anyone else with that issue no one ever believes me that I physically can’t lol
Me neither!!!
I love this series omg
Dooooo ittttt 😈
@@treacletatts don't tempt me LOL 👀 I've had this idea for a tiger tattoo for a while now
17:09 your laugh is so cute
Just wanted to say that spider web elbow tattoos have soooo many different meanings... it's not really a racist tattoo if you can say there are a couple different means/reasons why someone would have it and also if it's not a super common meaning. I have one (I'm mixed race and defo not a racist as I'm super proud of my black heritage) that I got for the aesthetic after a bit of research, I didn't see anything about its racist meaning. Only a month or two after, someone asked me about it and said they thought it was racist (the only person to ever mention it to me as well). Basically, it's dependent on context. Of course, I can understand that some people might take offence (the first tattoo shop I ever walked in had swastikas on the wall, and that was terrifying), but I would say with how common spider web elbow tattoos that the majority of people with them have no idea about any racist meaning.
I'm clearly not an expert this is just my opinion.
Here's my hot take on anyone under 18 getting a tattoo: just don't. Wait. I know you are excited and even if your parents are "cool" and allow you to get one please just... Think about it. If I got any single one tattoo I thought of getting when I was 14-16 I would be getting a lot of laser removal 🤣
Lauren to the rescue. Just trying not to freak out about my next tattoo appointment but also trying to be prepared.
I've had a sh!+ week so this is going to cheer me up. Love this series ♡♡
Oh no 😭😩 so sorry to hear this my love! Hopefully things get better for you for the rest of the week 💖
I want a left and right tattoo so badly. I genuinely cannot conceptualize the idea of left and right
That tattoo artist should have to pay for what he did, the fact he got away with that is gross and at the very least he should be publicly exposed to prevent other victims. How many people must he have done something similar to?? And just got away with it..
i have a kinda long list of future tattoos i want (as i keep forgetting) and thay are all things that are important to me. i should probably search if any of them are offensive in any way. thank you to whoever made that tiktok about the spider web one. also i am totally gonna get a tattoo on my left arm somewhere that i can color in with glitter pens every day
I always say I feel like every tattoo I get is more painful than the last. Idk if it’s the techniques that are changing, if it’s my age making it worse, but I love tattoos and love getting tattoos but it hurts more and more every time and I can not handle them as well as I could in my early twenties now that I’m in my thirties
I just discovered your channel from my recommended page and I’m so glad I found your channel. Keep up the good work beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks my love!! And welcome, happy you’re here 💖
about gas, I’m the opposite which means that anytime I drink something remotely carbonated I have to burp directly after or just become extremely bloated 😭
I just got my first tattoo and it was amazing thank you for all your wisdom!
I love your videos, you're so tactful and respectful but also entertaining.
There was a girl I went to high school with and we were freshman. She was a transfer student who came in half way through the year. She was 13 and had a tattoo on her collar bone and wore revealing clothes that showed it off.
Oof
I got my first 2 in the 8th grade. big regrets
Looking glorious in this video Lauren!
I have stomach and back problems. I am so paranoid about farting every time I have physical therapy. Hahaha.
The left leg, right leg... almost the same that my little cousin did
