17:47 This is actually why my shop doesn't let people past reception unless they are getting tattooed. She may genuinely be in pain, but she's 100% hamming it up for the camera, for her friend, she's being loud and disruptive, jostling around and shaking from laughing so much. Making an already difficult process 10x worse
Yes but it also seems that she knew the artist maybe she just knee their name but also she seemed like she knew them the behavior is like how youd see someone behave towards friends/family
I love that she put a trigger warning for the panic attack, as someone who's had them before, it's really horrible and I'm glad the warning was there for anyone that needed it. :) I'm glad the tattoo works for that person, tattoos aren't just art ♡
Trigger warning (SH) I've been having more and more negative thoughts this year and a lot are about self harm. I ended up getting a tattoo on the inner mart of my left arm (and plan on getting a matching one on my right arm) just to prevent myself from following through with SH. "I cant cut my wrist or it will ruin my tattoo". It sounds a nit silly but it's working! whenever I look at my arm my negative though get pushed back and I smile because i genuinely love how my tattoo looks.
(Trigger warning for SH here as well) Hey, me too! Even just planning to get tattoos in the problem areas was a fantastic way to stop myself when I got the thoughts. I now have tattoos on almost every single one of those spots and haven't done or even thought about SH in years :) I hope you'll get there too, stranger, I'm proud of you for taking the steps you've taken thus far
"Sometimes I want to get a Hoover & suck out the womb!" 🤣🤣🤣 OMGGG!! Ur laugh was adorable! That's totally me. This was a great episode in the series. I've really enjoyed this 5 days of TT!! And i love this lil community here. 🎃🧡
Wow, the "edema braille" thing happened to me a few years ago, but NOT b/c I was pregnant. Just prior to knee replacement surgery and right after surgery, I suffered from bad edema due to heaing, inactivity, and too much salt. I had never realized WHY it happened until now. But since I took steps to get healthier, this no longer happens. (Though lower leg tattoos are particularly likely to swell and heal slowly and angrily on me, which might also be caused by swelling.....and age. I am 57.)
The pregnancy thing is soooo true!!!! I can’t believe I’m just discovering this. When I was pregnant my forearm tattoos were all bumpy and gross out of nowhere (I had them for years with no issues.) Glad to hear I’m not the only one 👍
Im planning on getting pregnant next year, and I have just got my third tattoo on my forearm. Are your tattoos back to normal now, or are they changed forever?
The freckle tattoos actually inspired me to go get some done. Not freckles, but all my birth marks on my face have faded. After I got them done I'm SO HAPPY. I actually feel like I recognize myself in the mirror again.
I just wanna point out that indigenous people have created tattoos in spaces that aren't shops or even in some instances in nature. I think we often want to connect mind body and soul to the earth and thats one way. Ive had this vision years before i began to tattoo to create tattoos at the base of a swiss mountain with flowers growing everywhere! Haven’t made it a reality yet but I will try haha. I did tattoo my best friends in nature once and it was such a blessed time I will never forget.
the panic attack one was comforting, looks exactly what i sometimes have and it feels so isolating and embarrassing. ive been doing exposures and im better but its something ive struggled with.
I absoloutely adore your emergy Lauren. The way you related to that girl having a panic attack showed your light and compassion. You never fail to make me smile. ❤❤❤❤❤
It’s so interesting seeing how different people’s pain tolerance is. I’ve been terrified about getting certain parts of my body tattooed due to people (even some of my tattoo artists!) getting into my head, but when the time came to get it done, I ended up being completely fine😂 of the 40 something tattoos I do have, only one was ever unbearable. I mean we’re talking about shaking, gritted teeth, thinking about punching my artist😅 others were more “not fun, but not the worst, I guess?” I have a stupidly high pain tolerance but I can’t sit for too long which sucks.
I have Menorrhagia, so my cramps dont only bring me to the brink of passing out, in such bad pain that the ER staff thought my appendix had burst, but they last for about two weeks sometimes. I have to be on BC, and even then they can hurt so bad. But not as bad as I'm used to. My first tattoo was a wrist tattoo, I felt nothing. It was cool. Got two collarbone tattoos after that, felt nothing. Working on a hip tattoo, only places that hurt was closer to the inner thigh, and where it goes up on my waist. Other than that it's been chill. You can conquer the world if your period pains hurt more than whatever it is you're going through. Because at least you know that it could be worse, and you can survive this pain because you've survived worse.
Thank you so much to the absolute clever person who first of all filmed her panic attack, and second showed the tattoo idea. I might have to get my first tattoo now.
@@ccherry.berryy So when you have a panic attack it makes you lose sense of reality. What you need to be able to c come back is grounding things. Some of the best things are breathing, counting and looking at yout surroindings. So the tattoos are most likely grounding her to get rid of a panic attack.
Giiiiiirl! That period cramps vs tattoo one. My artist (female) recommends numbing cream, but the first time I went I was so nervous cause I'd heard stories about people passing out, puking, losing control of their bowels, etc. Then she did my shoulder blade piece and I was like... it tickled? And at the worst felt like some dental work? Like pressure but not "oh I'm dying!" Anyway. Yes, I've had cramps so much worse than my tattoos. The worst part of tattoos is the itching
I suffer with panic attacks and they have truly been some of the scariest times of my life and I’ve been through a lot in my life. I don’t know how they started but once you’ve had one you become more fearful of more. I think it was brave of this woman and I can understand how a tattoo can help her.❤️🙏
I got a tattoo on my wrist that I look at during panick attacks and it helps me calm down a lot. It also helped me get through suicidal thoughts. This has been such a lifesaver for me
The comments on the panic attack video are so sad 😢 I’ve got a tattoo on my arm that says “peace will win, fear will lose” (from Car Radio by 21p) and it’s 100% helped me pull myself out of panic attacks before. Sometimes looking at your arm/wrist is literally the only thing you can do when you’re in that state of mind. Also OMG the very very last one you showed and said “what is THAT” is a tattoo that I see ALL. THE. TIME. because it’s a hometown tattoo for where I’m from 😂 it’s the St. Louis arch and StL logo! It’s a pretty overdone design around here, which is why she probably had it in that video lol
I’ve never been pregnant, but I do have a broken spine that caused nerve damage to my legs and often will cause my limbs to fill with fluid at random times. I have a large red/orange Great Pacific octopus tattoo wrapped around most of my left lower leg, and it will react the same way the pregnant woman described! My other tattoos are black and gray so the first time all the red in my octopus suddenly puffed up and got ridiculously itchy I freaked the fuck out and thought I had somehow gotten an infection or become allergic to the red ink even though it was over a year old. It was absolutely WILD to see it suddenly be raised but only in the red areas. I took pictures and sent it to my artist and thankfully he knew what was happening and explained that edema can have that effect especially on red ink! It still happens but thankfully it seems my body has almost gotten used to it because over time it’s gradually gotten more subdued. The first time was definitely the worst, and a good lotion has helped big time! I used the same lotion I use to heal fresh tattoos and it seems to work better on the extra inflammation than my standard healed lotion.
Y'all are so nice. If someone was screaming "OW" in my face repeatedly or cussing at me I'd ask them to leave. You're in public girl, have some manners. There's nothing wrong with reacting to pain but there's a difference between grunting and suppressing the urge to shout and screaming full volume at someone.
Honestly would love to play tattoo roulette with my friends, having very artistic friends that could draw cool designs. But we'd definitely go to an actual studio!!!!0!
I am living for the upload every day right now (I know it's for Halloween 🎃) but it's making me really happy and helping with my mental heath a bit ♡♡♡
I put stickers on the walls and fridge and everywhere in my house. I'm sure some people (like my mom) think it looks tacky but I love it. It makes me so happy
I so related with the girl who has the tattoo for panic attack. I had a heat operation as a 4 year old and have the ecg showing the spikes in heart rate as my tattoo. It’s when my “heart was broken”. I have anxiety and I have the tattoo remind myself to just focus on the breath and it helps to calm me down. It also is a reminder that I have my struggles but I am not my anxiety and I will get through it
My dive into the tattoo world has been hard and fast. I've always loved them, just never got there until one of my friends became an artist. Now it's legit become my therapy, my me time since I had a baby almost a year ago. It's been this mind over matter reclamation of my body and my time. The entire process from planning to the actual appointment to the healing is therapy for me.
If you haven’t already, any chance you might do a video with tattoos and scars? 🙂 Like tattoos used to cover up scars, scars incorporated into a tattoo and/or how tattoos look on top of scars?
I'm happy that freckles are more accepted now and are considered a beautiful trait because I'm 26 and I'm half Spanish and half white with a Indian Irish mixture in that so I'm darker but I have a lot of freckles especially on my face and I used to get made fun of at my all-white School in the middle of no where and I was so discouraged about them they were considered ugly and now everybody wants them I just wish that would have been in style back when I was in school it would have saved me a lot of self-hatred and heartbreak... Love You girl❤ love your videos!😘 sorry for the run-on sentences I'm using talk to text I've got my two year old and my 6-month-old crawling all over me😂 My 9-year-old tattoo on my arm gets puffy and itches every once in awhile most of my tattoos do it it's itchy for about 30 minutes to an hour and then it goes down
12:25 "suck out the womb"🤣 I absolutely relate, I would have pain for 3 out of 4 weeks of the month and definitely had that thought a lot lol. Never practiced real meditation but that pain taught me how to separate and dull my pain from other experiences with my mind.. none period having people don't even knowwww.
Pain is a funny thing isn't it! I was warned about calf placement, my artists kept asking if I'm doing ok obviously not seeing my face but I thought it was fine??? Not painless but fine. 😂 Not any worse than tricep which I still think has been the spiciest for me.
The tiktok about the itchy tattoos and edema is crazy. It happened to me this year for the first time on tattoos that I had for more than 6 years, and I could not figure out for the sake of God what the heck was causing it. I started getting paranoid about infection..."of what¿? they are more than healed", allergic reactions and stuff.... and eventually it dissapeared. But that tiktok was really helpfull to see. Thanks! Pd: Thou I'm not pregnant and not plan to be, I guess It was something fluid related.
I have a quarter rest on the side of my wrist to remind me to breathe. It’s genuinely helped me. 10/10 recommend and people don’t ask about it because it’s a musical thing. It’s assumed like “oh you like music. cool!”
I've had the edema thing too! Tho I've never been pregnant. I have red on both forearm tattoos and every now and again they get bumpy and itchy. I thought I was allergic to red ink and my body would remember that now and again. But it's good to know its something else!
when i get bad allergies my tattoos can become raised and itchy as well. people don't really talk about how old tattoos can still have 'issues' (in quotations because it's nothing actually permanent/dangerous), i always assumed my tattooed skin would just be like the rest of my skin once healed!
💗 I also have a wrist tattoo that helps me focus myself when anxiety is getting overwhelming. I have a dark green Star on my pulse point on my left wrist that helps me ground when I a panic attack.
Usually we don't like putting stickers on things because the thing we put it on may not last as long as we want the sticker to last, but tattoos go right on your body and stay with you. I just put some tape on the back of my stickers if they're irreplaceable in my mind
Thank you so much for the panic attack TW. I can’t watch people have panic attacks because it really puts me in a bad place and lots of people dont realize that it can do that. ❤️
Re:periods, it can affect your pain tolerance. I always recommend my uterus having clients book for the few weeks after their period as opposed to the week prior or during, if at all possible, especially on larger pieces.
Let's go SISTA'S . . . Sorta unable to be cozy with my snacks cause sorta in-between housing living But love this channel and celebration 🎉 of spooky Samhain . . .but Tik Tok does worry me sometimes . . Actually always Love seeing tattoo goals 💗
4:28 she looks familiar to a girl I knew in poetry do hope she didn't get done too dirty. . .with the tattoo but I'm happy that it's been their for her
With the tattoos puffing up with pregnancy omg yes that happens to my side rib tattoo that was my most painful. I haven’t been pregnant since having it but I can’t scratch it or use any abrasive body scrubs or brushes anywhere near it or it puffs up, is unbearably itchy and yeah need hydrocortisone to help it. Only lasts a day or so but is so bad. I was sick when getting the tattoo so it’s probably a poor immune response to it. It’s over 2 years old
With the sticker we don't know if we will have the object forever (laptop or whatever we put it on) but a tattoo will always be with us on our body so maybe that's why?
This is 100% true, I got my first tattoo right over my hip bone, my period pain is a fucking eleven, it was nothing, same with my industrial piercing. Both occasions everyone psyched me up so bad!
You keep saying that your pain tolerance has taken a nose dive, but I feel like a lot of the spaces you have left/have gotten tattooed in the last few years are some of the absolute most painful tattoo spots. Maybe it isn't a Lauren's pain tolerance problem, but a Lauren has nowhere "easy" left problem. PS - my multi-hour rib and sternum pieces were not as bad as my period. Uterus havers are some tough cookies.
I feel the period pain one so much. I have endometriosis so my periods Hurt like mad, I recently got an ankle cuff going down onto my achilles tendon and people are like wow that must have hurt so much and I'm just like :)?
@Rachel Forshee I've never found the environment to be so loud that you couldn't hear people? In the tattoo parlors I've been to you could still hear people like 5m away. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole "every man" thing was exaggerated for dramatic effect, but having some react that way wouldn't surprise me
The raised itchy tattoos when Pregnant, yes its definitely a thing, and it doesn’t only happen with the color ones that she mentioned depending on the formula of the black ink used black ink gets the same way I experienced this when I was pregnant with my son and could not for the life of me figure out what was going on but now 6years after having him in my current pregnancy I am experiencing it again , which I will be honest i typically have very sensitive skin so that may also be a factor to why it happens to me but yeah none the less it sucks greatly 😅 my advice is don’t scratch no matter what you do avoid the itch definitely moisturize your tattoos I go for non scented hypoallergenic products when i chose to use lotions cause sometimes for me the itch is so bad that the products feel like they are burning my skin when they are scented 😅😅 and I don’t believe this is a every pregnant woman with tattoos type situation but I do believe the more tattoos you have the likely this is to occur so please be aware of it and from my experience it does go away after you’ve had the baby but I’m no expert
Omg, my tattoos will get raised especially in my red ink just randomly, no pregnancy involved. I never knew that happened to anyone else! It always calms down and mine doesn’t itch or anything, just braille skin like she said 🤯
Panic attacks are awful I've suffered with them for a longgg time that poor lass😔 I sometimes get stiff hands that go like a claw and I can't unstiffen them for ages anyone else?
My first tattoo is on my ribs and waist and i almost fell asleep because it was not that bad and then afterwards my tattoo artist (a guy) said he cried shen he got his ribs done.
It's so strange about the whole swelling of the tattoo thing when pregnant because I've never been pregnant but I have experienced the same thing! Occasionally my tattoos raise and it is like feeling brail. I have very heavy line work tattoos. I wonder if it's a hormone thing. Note to self: make a log when it happens Edit: I'd do a whole Body Tattoo over period pains any day!
I had a tattoo done in May 2021 and fell pregnant in the June. Every bit of white ink scarred and raised and its never gone down since, I can literally feel every bit of white in my tattoo, so strange
Petition to do a collab with Rolyyy!
petition signed
Omg yes PLEASE
Yes.
Seriously!!! This needs to happen!
Yessss that would be amazing!
Wow I really appreciate both the trigger warning and the option to jump to two different times after the panic attack video. Thank you

I've had the edema thing too! Tho I've never been pregnant. I have red on both forearm tattoos and every now and again they get bumpy and itchy. I thought I was allergic to red ink and my body would remember that now and again. But it's good to know its something else!
"Be right back I just need to pick up my standards." 🤣
The hoover comment, made me internally hurt 😂
Thanks for making content, you help me feel happier and more okay with things 🥺
Good to see you picking your standards up 😂. Loving the run xx
Halloween AND this upload? Is this heaven?
when i get bad allergies my tattoos can become raised and itchy as well. people don't really talk about how old tattoos can still have 'issues' (in quotations because it's nothing actually permanent/dangerous), i always assumed my tattooed skin would just be like the rest of my skin once healed!
LOVE the black work that guy was doing on his stomach. Sooooo cool. Also he's quite pretty :P
I follow Roly and Luxeria. I love Roly's tattoos!
Me and my cozy demon all tucked in for our fav tattoo reaction💕
My tattoos get bumpy every once and awhile, usually when I have an active week or something. Definitely have never been prego 😂
💗 I also have a wrist tattoo that helps me focus myself when anxiety is getting overwhelming. I have a dark green Star on my pulse point on my left wrist that helps me ground when I a panic attack.
Usually we don't like putting stickers on things because the thing we put it on may not last as long as we want the sticker to last, but tattoos go right on your body and stay with you. I just put some tape on the back of my stickers if they're irreplaceable in my mind
So true, period pain is so much worse than getting a tattoo
Was literally wandering what to watch next t😍😍😍 woo hoo 🎉
15:35 looks really cool. Thinks hmmm. That reminds me of something. *looks down at stretchmarks.
Thank you so much for the panic attack TW. I can’t watch people have panic attacks because it really puts me in a bad place and lots of people dont realize that it can do that. ❤️
Omg the sticker thing 😭 I have a million unused stickers because I can’t decide where to put them but no issues deciding to get a tattoo 🤣
THELP THE HAMP STEP?? I LAUGHED SO HARD
"I don't know how to do my intro's smoothly" Heh. Smooth. :P
I love Roly hes so funny!! you two together reviewing would be awesome!! Least the girl in the blue t-shirt had sense to say no!
Re:periods, it can affect your pain tolerance. I always recommend my uterus having clients book for the few weeks after their period as opposed to the week prior or during, if at all possible, especially on larger pieces.
SAME. My 2 year old tats are thick and raised. Especially the solid blackwork. Itches a bit too. Great to see a vid about it.
love these seriessss
My pain tolerance for tattoos went down drastically recently. 😅 I think it’s because as we age our skin gets thinner
Loving the daily uploads 👻
I'd take a tattoo session over a period any day. At least I get something out of a tattoo session. All I gain from my period is a fear of sneezing
Let's go SISTA'S . . . Sorta unable to be cozy with my snacks cause sorta in-between housing living
But love this channel and celebration 🎉 of spooky Samhain . . .but Tik Tok does worry me sometimes . . Actually always
Love seeing tattoo goals 💗
4:28 she looks familiar to a girl I knew in poetry do hope she didn't get done too dirty. . .with the tattoo but I'm happy that it's been their for her
I’ve literally watched all three of these in the row 😭
As both a Mortal Kombat- and Roly fan I was so happy when I first saw the Ermac-Tattoo. It's the kind of tattoo I wanna get, big, bold, colourful.
i think huge body suits are amazing but patchwork is just more fun lol.
The pregnant tattoo girl I can relate!!!! I never knew what it was I just thought my body was being a dork
With the tattoos puffing up with pregnancy omg yes that happens to my side rib tattoo that was my most painful. I haven’t been pregnant since having it but I can’t scratch it or use any abrasive body scrubs or brushes anywhere near it or it puffs up, is unbearably itchy and yeah need hydrocortisone to help it. Only lasts a day or so but is so bad. I was sick when getting the tattoo so it’s probably a poor immune response to it. It’s over 2 years old
With the sticker we don't know if we will have the object forever (laptop or whatever we put it on) but a tattoo will always be with us on our body so maybe that's why?
This is 100% true, I got my first tattoo right over my hip bone, my period pain is a fucking eleven, it was nothing, same with my industrial piercing. Both occasions everyone psyched me up so bad!
You keep saying that your pain tolerance has taken a nose dive, but I feel like a lot of the spaces you have left/have gotten tattooed in the last few years are some of the absolute most painful tattoo spots. Maybe it isn't a Lauren's pain tolerance problem, but a Lauren has nowhere "easy" left problem.
PS - my multi-hour rib and sternum pieces were not as bad as my period. Uterus havers are some tough cookies.
This is older but every time she said OW ROBY(I)N I felt the need to apologize as a Robyn myself 😂😂
I feel the period pain one so much. I have endometriosis so my periods Hurt like mad, I recently got an ankle cuff going down onto my achilles tendon and people are like wow that must have hurt so much and I'm just like :)?
@Rachel Forshee I've never found the environment to be so loud that you couldn't hear people? In the tattoo parlors I've been to you could still hear people like 5m away. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole "every man" thing was exaggerated for dramatic effect, but having some react that way wouldn't surprise me
I only had 2 tattoos during my 3 full term pregnancies but never experienced any issues thankfully.
The raised itchy tattoos when Pregnant, yes its definitely a thing, and it doesn’t only happen with the color ones that she mentioned depending on the formula of the black ink used black ink gets the same way I experienced this when I was pregnant with my son and could not for the life of me figure out what was going on but now 6years after having him in my current pregnancy I am experiencing it again , which I will be honest i typically have very sensitive skin so that may also be a factor to why it happens to me but yeah none the less it sucks greatly 😅 my advice is don’t scratch no matter what you do avoid the itch definitely moisturize your tattoos I go for non scented hypoallergenic products when i chose to use lotions cause sometimes for me the itch is so bad that the products feel like they are burning my skin when they are scented 😅😅 and I don’t believe this is a every pregnant woman with tattoos type situation but I do believe the more tattoos you have the likely this is to occur so please be aware of it and from my experience it does go away after you’ve had the baby but I’m no expert
Today I am cozy with my cat in my lap and it is glorious.
Omg, my tattoos will get raised especially in my red ink just randomly, no pregnancy involved. I never knew that happened to anyone else! It always calms down and mine doesn’t itch or anything, just braille skin like she said 🤯
Been loving the trick or treat tik toks ♥️ you should take a break after this series for all of the hard work
I love your videos so much ♥️♥️❤️♥️🖤♥️🖤
Lol was not expecting to see an STL tattoo at the end there!
That sticker one is so me I have a big big sticker collection and I feel bad when I use them lmao
Panic attacks are awful I've suffered with them for a longgg time that poor lass😔 I sometimes get stiff hands that go like a claw and I can't unstiffen them for ages anyone else?
My first tattoo is on my ribs and waist and i almost fell asleep because it was not that bad and then afterwards my tattoo artist (a guy) said he cried shen he got his ribs done.
It's so strange about the whole swelling of the tattoo thing when pregnant because I've never been pregnant but I have experienced the same thing! Occasionally my tattoos raise and it is like feeling brail. I have very heavy line work tattoos. I wonder if it's a hormone thing.
Note to self: make a log when it happens
Edit: I'd do a whole Body Tattoo over period pains any day!
My tattoos raise all the time, even ones I’ve had for over 10 years and I’ve never been pregnant. Idk I don’t think it’s that rare
I had a tattoo done in May 2021 and fell pregnant in the June. Every bit of white ink scarred and raised and its never gone down since, I can literally feel every bit of white in my tattoo, so strange
the whole period talk.. i can relate so much! the tattoo's are not even the most horrible pain women know hahaha
love your videos :3
15:34 ahhhhhhhh no glove wipe alert!!!
Also no wrapped bed, tattooing on cotton pillow 😱
