As someone who has parents who are difficult to please, I can understand wanting to set things up in a way that gives my partner the best chance at being accepted by my family. That being said I would only consider it as a first impression type of thing, I would never want to change my partner or make them feel like they aren’t good enough for my family. But like the person in the video said, having a conversation with your family first is probably a better idea. My partner wasn’t even tattooed and my parents still got angry at me 😹 you can’t please everyone no matter what you do so just do what makes you happy
I agree 100%. Yes, give them the best shot at making a good first impression but that person wasn't even introducing her bf, this was a person that didn't even really exist like that. Nobody can hold up a lie like this for that long which sounds like the only way the family would have accepted the bf.
I can undertand her, taboo around tattoo is prominent in some cultures still, and is impossible to change in short time. She's not making him remove the tattoo, just covering it to avoid argument and extra difficulties, and some people still want to remain good relationship with their family so cutting tie is not a choice.
@@shao-ningwu9209 That’s still not a good excuse to make your partner change themselves. Are they supposed to cover up their tattoos for your entire relationship? It’s not realistic and makes it seem like you aren’t serious about them imo.
Funny story: When I went to get my 2nd dose of the shot, the nurse was shocked that I WASN'T afraid of the needle. I explained that I have a couple tattoos. She told me way more heavily tattooed guys twice my size had cried while getting the needle, and one had passed out. Apparently, you can't make assumptions.
I've had probably hundreds of shots (& bloods taken & drips/ports put in) over my 44 years on this earth and not once has a nurse commented on me not being afraid of needles at any age...85% of their patients don't have (or mention) issues with needles, the ones that do make the biggest noise tho they are few & far between.
oh you definitely can;t assume, at my physio they are always shocked at how well i can sit for treatment and say that big strong men come in all the time and have a much harder time sitting for it, like im a thin and lanky woman and i just find it hilarious
About that persontattooing themselves: people will always continue to tattoo themselves, but if you do it, do it like them. Make it all as clean as possible.
Lauren, I noticed it's been months that you haven't posted a "Do they have good tattoos or are they just famous?" I used to love it, wish you would do it again. If you do, you should check Chris Motionless' tattoos, if I know you I'm sure you're gonna go crazy over his chest and neck pieces in particular. Ashley Costello is also a good candidate ❤
i mean as home tattoos go, the first one is definitely one of the best i've seen on tiktok. seen too many bed tattoos recently. but you're right, my last handpoke session was with someone just finishing up apprenticing and i got two tattoos of that size in 5 hours. but still better than rushing it & completely fucking up the design though. edit: i think harm reducrion with home tattooing is massively important because people are always going to do it & therefore it's important people see someone doing it as correctly as they can. i also think handpoke is the better choice for amateurs just because of the amount of damage you can do with a machine in a short amount of time, handpoking gives a lot more control & often better results if the person has done their research. very cool that your "inlaws" are heavily tattooed. i come from a family where nearly everyone in my generation has tattoos on one side, so i never really questioned family acceptance besides the parents & grandparents worrying about "ruining your body" part. very lucky my partner's family have already accepted a heavily tattooed person before me.
I feel for the boyfriend.. not his fault.. I totally agreed with the lady reading it.. my inlaws are very reserved and don't openly accept tattoos but after trying to please everyone else for the last 25 years I finally had enough and have been doing the things I love and make me happy.. tattoos included.. Also completely agree about needle needles vs tattoo needles.. tattoos don't bother me but other needles really really do
As someone who is heavily tattooed the tattoo itch on the head is killer the slightest brush against the scalp sets it off and it's annoying but worth it
I'm the girl who needs their hand held when getting an injection or IV. Just had an IV today and the nurse gave me crap for being tattooed and pierced but hating needles. Give me shit all you want, I don't get pretty things from those needles
I just got an email confirming my tattoo appointment, so this was perfect timing! it's for my second ever tattoo, and it's adding my second big piece to my magical girl anime sleeve! 😊😊
I'm cool with tattoo needles, but I hate getting shots. I was always terrified of getting shots. And that Arcane tattoo looks awesome. I want to get Caitlyn and Vi someday. My right arm and shoulder are free
It makes some sense. Tattoo needles go past the epidermis and deposit the ink into the dermis. They aren’t supposed to reach the hypodermis/subcutaneous tissue at all, if they do then that will cause a blow out. Intramuscular shots go all the way past the subcutaneous tissue and into the muscle. Intravenous shots get injected directly into our veins which obviously isn’t the case for tattoos.
I give vaccines to patients, and I had this big dude, covered in tats, even on his face, freaked the hell out about getting his vaccine. I gave him his shot (I don’t count down or anything, just give the shot while we’re talking). I’m like, okay, we’re done! And he’s like, that’s it?? I was freaked out over THAT? And I said, yeah, bro. That was it. And he’s like, please don’t tell anyone about this. And I’m like, absolutely no way I won’t 😂😂😂
Awww I love Laura Marie, she’s the reason why I went back and watched all of Ink Master (not my shinier moment, I’m aware lol) She’s definitely not just “decent” 🤣 I wish there were portrait artists as good as her anywhere near where I live, tbh
I used to have a severe phobia of getting shots and then I got diagnosed with hashimotos. So I had to get blood drawn every 3 months, so I finally got over it. 😅 I’m due for my booster in March.
my first ever tattoo was a rose on the back of my head when I had an undercut! it was the least painful tattoo I’ve ever gotten but it felt super weird feeling the vibrations on my scalp. never got itchy tho!
Comparing to my mother's reaction with my tattoos :"wait till I'm dead before getting tattoos" (and..nope mam, won't wait and plan to get many more (i have 5 and 2 are booked for april); I kinda want to be adopted by these two ladies too! ^^ Thank you as always for the videos Lauren.
Dont worry at first they will be like why do you do this, and next like myself you will be like yo i am getting my hand tattoo in 2 weeks and they will be like fair enough, you do you ^^
I also totally understand the needle thing. I sew and shots still bother me. It’s the fact that it goes into the muscle and I can actually feel the fluid being injected. It’s that pressure, that I really dislike
Scalp/Head experience - I recently sat for 6 hours, lines and black in one session on scalp/neck/upper back. Sent a pic on insta 😁 The pain was unreal above the ears, would deffo recommend lidocaine unless you just live pain 😂 I've got a fair amount of tattoos and this was by far the spiciest. I would say it's like getting a ditch area worked on. Healing was actually super simple, the scalp seemed a few days ahead of the neck and back consistently (neck and back were derm'd). Honestly, there was little itchy phase for me -unusual-. I get spots occasionally on my head, and even with a bit of that, the piece healed like a dream. 10/10 will ink my scalp again!
**goes on 15 minute break** **notification of new tattoo artist reacts to tattoo tiktok video** the timing was impeccable lol. Perfect way to spend my break 😌
One thing I'll never forget is when I was in the hospital and a nurse saw my tattoos and asked if I was afraid of needles and I said no but he told me he's seen some of the most manly men covered head to toe in tattoos cry like a baby when they have to get a shot
I was terribly scared of needles as a kid, getting tattoos was one of the things that helped me get over that. I'm heavily tattooed now but my first 3-5 tattoos still gave me the shakes!
The AITA was a nightmare for everyone. I sympathize with the girl for wanting to breeze through the first meeting with her parents, but she needs to be honest with them instead and if they hate her for it then that's on them. Sad for the boyfriend being made to feel not good enough for her and her parents through all of their actions.
honestly the first one is great she is taking precautions and if she wants to be a artist and wants to practice on herself there is no problem everyone starts somewhere and sometimes depending on where you live doing it yourself if you can take the right safety measures are safer than going to a shitty shop
The lady with the moon tattoo, I understood the same thing as her tattoo appretice. "Connect it and fill it black" I thought she wanted the two tips to connect into a circle to make a full moon. So yeah, I also think she didn't explained it so well to the apprentice
yes! I have about 8 tattoos, but ALSO have cancer (Im fighting-- I'll be ok I think. :) ) SO I get blood drawn every 3 weeks, and I HATE it!! It IS different!! the needle going into you, v. just on the skin- I've given the explanation so many times! The nurses are always surprised. I'm a HUGE baby!! I can't look. I've CRIED when I had to get a couple CT scans with contrast (which has to be given in an IV) and I have hard to find veins... :( sux.
I was napping so I'm late today, but if you read this I'll solve a mystery for you! The girl in the first video mixes something at the beginning and you didn't know what it was - that white bottle held Tincture of Green Soap. That's the famous and beloved green soap we all love the smell of - you're supposed to mix it with water and that's what the artist cleans the tattoo with while they work! 😊
Getting a whole injection into your muscle, donating blood, or blood tests is totally different than a piercing or tattoo, my industrial was about as painful as donating blood but the fear was so so much more for them to be digging in my arm to find a vein. Tattoo needles barely go into your skin they poke a super tiny hole to let ink into it.
Every year when I get my flu jab, I have to explain that I frickin hate needles despite my sleeve and we laugh about how ridiculous it is 😂 but I agree with you, it's a very different (awful) sensation having a needle go into your muscle or veins than just your dermis skin layer
Certainly good enough to win. There was always a bit of her in all her tattoos on the show. You could look at one of her tattoos and go "yep, that's a Laura Marie tattoo."
21:40 I just got my first one and I told my artist to not let me look at it or know it’s near me because I can pass out just from seeing a needle. But I agree, medical needles are so much worse and its really frustrating to tell people “yes I have a tattoo. But my friend needed to hold my hand the whole time and I almost passed out. I still hate needles”
I use to color my dad’s tattoo with washable markers as a child. He has unfortunately passed; but gave me permission to get his tattoo done on me before he passed
You definitely don’t need to keep your hair short after head tattoos, my mom has had 2 since before I was born and she’s always had hip length hair. She just got her third one to complete her set 4 years ago and yes it was a little annoying to grow out and heal but it’s was fully worth it for her. It’s really cool when she puts her hair in a ponytail because if you know she has them then you can easily see the bottoms of them and it just makes me smile.
I got anesthesia for dentist related stuff this week and I was freaking out a bit because needle in your mouth and all. The Dentist laughed and said she thought I would handle it no prob because of my piercings. The Problem isn't the needle it's the pressure from the liquid they inject and it's super uncomfy
Omg I totally understand the not liking injections or blood draws! Same here! I hate getting those myself, even though I’m a nurse. I’m a nurse who gives vaccines frequently. I never assume someone with tattoos won’t be afraid of getting injections. I do love it when patients have shoulder tattoos when I give injections. A guy once had an awesome owl tattoo and where I needed to give the injection was right in the eye of the owl!! It was a very memorable for me! Also, I love your videos!! 💕
that girl who did her tattoos herself in her room - i hope she's pursuing a career as a tattoo artist maybe? bc she's seems really knowledgeable and also her art is awesome
I'm scared of needles so I asked ppl with tattoos I know it was cool that I asked. The mutual stories I got were that it's not as big a needle and it doesn't go as deep, so it's a tingling sensation. one of them was even cool with accompanying me to my first tattoo and gave me tips on things like: bring an easy to open snack, eat before the session because it hurts more if you're hungry. and so on.
One of my mother's best friends when I was growing up was fairly covered in tats but my favorite was a fairy on her shoulder. one of my most cherished childhood memories is sitting under a tree on a sunny day colouring in her fairy tattoo
I have the whole left side of my head tattooed. It is a geometric kind of pattern, with the outside lines a grey border with bolts, kind of like a sheild. The inside pattern has different shades of the bi flag. I have a mohawk so shaving my head isn't a big deal. The tattoo experience was easy for me compared to what the average stories are. My care routine has helped me avoid an itchy stage for years.
I shaved my head last year in January and got it fully tattooed, and let me say: I freaking hated every second of it! I have a snake on the back of my head, Flowers on top and mandalas on the sides. Not really really happy with the mandalas, but I am growing my hair out again and I am 9 months in. Maybe in a few years I’ll shave my sides to get my mandalas fixed. But the best part is, nobody can really see it, nobody expects a full head tattoo on a very girly women.
Yesssss I'm starting my arm sleeve this weekend! It'll be an anime patch work and I'm so excited! Also I agree with the lady reading that AITA post. I'm engaged to my fiance and we've been together for almost 6 years (in October) and I worry his family looks down upon me because I have tattoos and don't plan to stop getting them plus I want to get actual body mods as well. He told me that he didn't care what they thought and he still loves and accepts me for who I am. I don't even think they know I'm pansexual either. I don't know how accepting of the LGBT community they are. But it's like, they wouldn't suspect anything since I'm with him. But. It's not like I'm going to hide my identity either. If they ask if I'm straight I'm gonna be honest because I don't see a need to feel ashamed of who I am. He wanted to get a tattoo and ear piercings but I worry his family will bitch him out and think I'm a "bad influence". His mom and stepdad have tattoos. His brother and cousin do too but the fact I aim to have sleeves and face tattoos worries me (I mean his cousin has face tattoos too so. NVM lol. But she's family. I'm just an in law) ah help I'm giving myself anxiety!
I'm apparently very strange in that I find needles really cool. They're such a simple invention that does so much good! I have a lot of tattoos and piercings. I also sew all the time. I just think their neat.
the needle one is so real T_T i have quite a few piercings (13 or 14 can't fully remember) and a few tattoos but im still shaking with fear whenever i have to get a blood test or vaccine
when i was little i used to colour in my stepdad’s tattoo on his arm, i loved it so much! i fully intend to do that now with my own (when i eventually get them lol)
I love your channel so much, you are just so likeable and I enjoy the weird world of TikTok tattoos being filtered through commentary. Lots of love from Finland!
i’m fine with tattoo needles and i also do testosterone injections once a week (i’m trans) but i HATE other people giving me shots or taking my blood. just not being in control of someone sticking a metal point into me that i can literally see (unlike the needle on the tattoo machine) just makes me nauseous
Always so nice to see you lauren you are stunning as always you always have interesting tattoo videos love you Lauren you would be a better tattoo artist than a lot of the people you ahow
I thought i didn't have the face shape etc to have anything shaved on my head. Well i got a free appointment at a hair solon school and i told the student "i want something like this go for it" and she was so happy that she got to do something FUN. Well. i enjoy having my right side shaved (based on my natural hair part is what side the teacher said would work best and etc). I understand, keeping it shave is pricy and i have done it myself but i need someone else to get the parts i missed. i been thinking of putting a tattoo there in the future. but what i do not know. lol shave your head go for it. and if you like it, then think about a tattoo. you wont regret it.
I am in the process of getting an olive leaf crown tattooed on my head. I am also making a progress Tiktok of it. I will link you in the tiktok when I post so you can see it as some point.
@@treacletatts Fun fact, head tattoos heal up so much faster than other tattoo places. My head tattoo was healed in a little over a week (skin wise). It was dry after healing for a couple weeks like normal, and not shaving it while having to putting on ointment was a little annoying. But the itching was not bad. I think the hair follicle holes help the shedding, so less time for skin to pull and itch. The small face muscles/tendons in the side of my head hurt like a mother******* tho lol. I had some mild headaches for about a month after.
Love this series! Given me soo much inspiration and ideas for new tattoos! In the process of researching artist! Also I’m in love with your black out sleeve. Was never a fan of the style till I saw your sleeve! Gorgeous!
OMG I TAGGED U IN THE LAST ONE, THE DOJA TATTOO AAAAAAA and yes i agree 10000% she is SO beautiful and talented and funny and overall perfect i love her so much
"I neede a security blanket over my face" was so cute! I usually shave my head, my hair is suuper thinn and I'm a black girl.. dont need to say more. Getting a tattoo on the side of my head is high on the list!
My personal pet peave is seeing people use gloves thinking they are being sanitary but then they are touching everything they own before touching their open wound. You can't wear gloves and then go touch your door handle, your faucet, unsanitazed bottles etc it defies the whole purpose of having gloves in the first place. 😷🙅♀️
I don't really like how yall are reacting to that. If I'm being honest yall can't take one side because yall don't know how her parents are. Some parents are extremely strict as she said it when it comes to stuff like that. Both of them are in the wrong not just one but BOTH. She should've told her parents first and he should've showed more respect and not showed his tattoos. They could've had a conversation after dinner about the situation and how it should be handled. But blaming one person is down right foolish in my opinion. I've gone through that with my father and he was so strict to the point where he stopped talking to me for awhile and doesn't allow my boyfriend to come over. Yall got to realize that. She probably was scared about how her parents would react.
I 100% agree wrt tattoo needles vs medical needles. There's something that's like... less invasive? about tat needles cause they only pierce a few layers of skin but medical needles are going aaaaaallllll the way through, into muscles and blood vessels and urgh, hate themmmmmm I haven't been professionally pierced (claire's defo doesn't count as professional lmao) and now I'm afraid of the needles just from your description 😭 but I want more holes in my ears so much 😣
Had a session Friday and forgot to schedule the next one till I started watching this video lol. I’m moving and need to finish this tattoo before going 🤦🏻♀️
I actually have the back of my head tattooed !!!! and with my hair grown out you can’t really see it now. I’ve been thinking about reshaving it or shaving my whole head to do the rest. The pain wasn’t unbearable , I napped through most of it but there were definitely a few parts that got uncomfortable. I’d definitely do it again !!!!
I don’t have tattoos but I have a severe medical needle phobia. I can easily watch a tattoo being done and the thought of it doesn’t scare me at all. Shots used to be really bad for me but since COVID I’ve been much better. But blood tests and cannulas give me intense panic attacks and cause me to faint. What people don’t realise is that it isn’t the pain, it’s the thought of the needle being in your body for a long period of time. Tattoo needles are in and out quickly whereas syringes and IV needles are in you for anywhere from 5 seconds to hours (in the case of a cannula.)
Seriously, you need to watch Arcane!! Absolutely awesome show (based on a video game) and the reference for the split face tattoo! It's on netflix - go watch!
Sooo, I sympathise with the girl who coached her boyfriend. My mom is very strict and controling to the point of borderline abuisive. I'm a grown-up woman, but she still is very controling so something my fiance says often puts me in serious trouble. I have to tell him to stop sabotaging me everytime we visit my parents (but he still does it unknowingly), for me it's an issue of my personal safety.
Okay, I'm sorry but.....that ain't it. You are a grown woman as he is a grown man. If he has to endure your abusive mom as a means of being with you, if I were his friend/ sister/even Co worker I would tell him to run for the hills. Because he'll just be another victim to your mom's abusive, controlling ways. And if you both have kids and insist on the mother being in their lives, it will just mess THEM up. You being unable to separate from her control is a huge red flag.

Laura Marie actually won Ink Master in America with a full back tattoo... it was a japanese piece that was absolutely stunning... she is great...
I was so happy when she won
I remembered that when I saw her face cause she seemed familiar, her tatoos on the show were so beautiful
It was sooo pretty
Yeah I wouldn't call her "pretty decent" cos she's incredible!
Which season?? I'm binge watching ink master on movie box and I'm on season 4 currently
The one with the boyfriend was terrible. She doesn’t deserve him. She’s 100% in the wrong and I hope he finds someone who accepts him for him.
100% agree, specially waiting 2 years AND forcing him to fully cover up his tattoos
I know and saying her parents have no respect for him as if she does
Agree. She sould've talked about her strict parents to her boyfriend sence the beginning!
And now just tell him to cover up without being prepared at all is just a faul move and so disrespectful.
Poor boyfriend
He needs to run..... and run far and fast, right now!!! 😬 poor lad😕 he is worth more than this shit.

Staying conscious during or after a blood test is a huge achievement man, first you can’t eat stuff beforehand so you already feel like crap and then you have to watch your own blood, even if you don’t want to but they want you to confirm the information on the vial with the blood.

As someone who is heavily tattooed the tattoo itch on the head is killer the slightest brush against the scalp sets it off and it's annoying but worth it
I'm the girl who needs their hand held when getting an injection or IV. Just had an IV today and the nurse gave me crap for being tattooed and pierced but hating needles. Give me shit all you want, I don't get pretty things from those needles
I find vaccines to be more painful than piercings, there’s no lingering pain once the needle is out and jewelry’s in
I just got an email confirming my tattoo appointment, so this was perfect timing! it's for my second ever tattoo, and it's adding my second big piece to my magical girl anime sleeve! 😊😊
My health teacher had a sleeve of Pokémon and Naruto on the same arm also has a full leg of Pokémon tattoos. I hope everything turns out well!
Oh my god so cool!!! I’m getting my first tattoo and I’m getting Luna from Sailor Moon!
@Annie Pallo ooh nice! my first tattoo is of Usagi surrounded by roses on my upper arm!
I'm cool with tattoo needles, but I hate getting shots. I was always terrified of getting shots. And that Arcane tattoo looks awesome. I want to get Caitlyn and Vi someday. My right arm and shoulder are free
I get tattoos like every couple of weeks but I also have to get blood drawn every month and like, I cannot do medical needles and getting shots/IVs 😭
My fiance is the same way lol. He is a literal tattoo artist but is afraid of shots 🤣. I tease him for it all the time.
It makes some sense.
Tattoo needles go past the epidermis and deposit the ink into the dermis. They aren’t supposed to reach the hypodermis/subcutaneous tissue at all, if they do then that will cause a blow out.
Intramuscular shots go all the way past the subcutaneous tissue and into the muscle.
Intravenous shots get injected directly into our veins which obviously isn’t the case for tattoos.
I give vaccines to patients, and I had this big dude, covered in tats, even on his face, freaked the hell out about getting his vaccine. I gave him his shot (I don’t count down or anything, just give the shot while we’re talking). I’m like, okay, we’re done! And he’s like, that’s it?? I was freaked out over THAT? And I said, yeah, bro. That was it. And he’s like, please don’t tell anyone about this. And I’m like, absolutely no way I won’t 😂😂😂
Fun fact for anyone wondering about the artist doing the lines in green: lining with a bright green helps keep the lines loose and flowy
My ex bf hated my tattoos and so his family hated me. Took my ass out of the door and now my gf is my best tattoo buddy!
If somebody expected from me to cover my tattoos or take out my piercings because their parents won't like me, I'd be totally like GTFO. xD
Awww I love Laura Marie, she’s the reason why I went back and watched all of Ink Master (not my shinier moment, I’m aware lol)
She’s definitely not just “decent” 🤣 I wish there were portrait artists as good as her anywhere near where I live, tbh
a lot of amazing professional artists started out being self-taught. I think if everyone hated on self teaching tattooing wouldn’t even exist
I used to have a severe phobia of getting shots and then I got diagnosed with hashimotos. So I had to get blood drawn every 3 months, so I finally got over it. 😅 I’m due for my booster in March.
my first ever tattoo was a rose on the back of my head when I had an undercut! it was the least painful tattoo I’ve ever gotten but it felt super weird feeling the vibrations on my scalp. never got itchy tho!
Comparing to my mother's reaction with my tattoos :"wait till I'm dead before getting tattoos" (and..nope mam, won't wait and plan to get many more (i have 5 and 2 are booked for april); I kinda want to be adopted by these two ladies too! ^^
Thank you as always for the videos Lauren.
My grandma said "just wait til I'm dead til you get neck and hand tattoos" LMAO
Dont worry at first they will be like why do you do this, and next like myself you will be like yo i am getting my hand tattoo in 2 weeks and they will be like fair enough, you do you ^^
I also totally understand the needle thing. I sew and shots still bother me. It’s the fact that it goes into the muscle and I can actually feel the fluid being injected. It’s that pressure, that I really dislike
Scalp/Head experience - I recently sat for 6 hours, lines and black in one session on scalp/neck/upper back. Sent a pic on insta 😁 The pain was unreal above the ears, would deffo recommend lidocaine unless you just live pain 😂 I've got a fair amount of tattoos and this was by far the spiciest. I would say it's like getting a ditch area worked on. Healing was actually super simple, the scalp seemed a few days ahead of the neck and back consistently (neck and back were derm'd). Honestly, there was little itchy phase for me -unusual-. I get spots occasionally on my head, and even with a bit of that, the piece healed like a dream. 10/10 will ink my scalp again!
**goes on 15 minute break**
**notification of new tattoo artist reacts to tattoo tiktok video**
the timing was impeccable lol. Perfect way to spend my break 😌
Enjoy your break 😃💖
One thing I'll never forget is when I was in the hospital and a nurse saw my tattoos and asked if I was afraid of needles and I said no but he told me he's seen some of the most manly men covered head to toe in tattoos cry like a baby when they have to get a shot
I was terribly scared of needles as a kid, getting tattoos was one of the things that helped me get over that. I'm heavily tattooed now but my first 3-5 tattoos still gave me the shakes!
My current goal in life is to get your “I Hate Tattoos” tshirt and wear it to my next tattoo appointment in April 👀😂😂
The AITA was a nightmare for everyone. I sympathize with the girl for wanting to breeze through the first meeting with her parents, but she needs to be honest with them instead and if they hate her for it then that's on them. Sad for the boyfriend being made to feel not good enough for her and her parents through all of their actions.
honestly the first one is great she is taking precautions and if she wants to be a artist and wants to practice on herself there is no problem everyone starts somewhere and sometimes depending on where you live doing it yourself if you can take the right safety measures are safer than going to a shitty shop
The lady with the moon tattoo, I understood the same thing as her tattoo appretice. "Connect it and fill it black"
I thought she wanted the two tips to connect into a circle to make a full moon. So yeah, I also think she didn't explained it so well to the apprentice
"There's gloves at least" , but they're touching everything with the gloves before even doing the tattoo
yes! I have about 8 tattoos, but ALSO have cancer (Im fighting-- I'll be ok I think. :) ) SO I get blood drawn every 3 weeks, and I HATE it!! It IS different!! the needle going into you, v. just on the skin- I've given the explanation so many times! The nurses are always surprised. I'm a HUGE baby!! I can't look. I've CRIED when I had to get a couple CT scans with contrast (which has to be given in an IV) and I have hard to find veins... :( sux.
I was napping so I'm late today, but if you read this I'll solve a mystery for you! The girl in the first video mixes something at the beginning and you didn't know what it was - that white bottle held Tincture of Green Soap. That's the famous and beloved green soap we all love the smell of - you're supposed to mix it with water and that's what the artist cleans the tattoo with while they work! 😊
Getting a whole injection into your muscle, donating blood, or blood tests is totally different than a piercing or tattoo, my industrial was about as painful as donating blood but the fear was so so much more for them to be digging in my arm to find a vein. Tattoo needles barely go into your skin they poke a super tiny hole to let ink into it.
Every year when I get my flu jab, I have to explain that I frickin hate needles despite my sleeve and we laugh about how ridiculous it is 😂 but I agree with you, it's a very different (awful) sensation having a needle go into your muscle or veins than just your dermis skin layer
The perfect video after a tattoo session
Oooooo 👀
@@treacletatts I got a Yorkshire Pin-up man tattoo by an amazing local tattoo artist who has done 95% of my tattoos
Agreed! I also got tattooed today and am comfy in bed recovering. Second of four sessions on a full forearm piece...elbow and ditch are very sore!
Laura marie was a finalist on one of the last seasons of ink master, she is REALLY good
I've been stalking you for months and I finally made a consult appointment for tomorrow for my first tattoo!
Laura Marie was on ink master! She’s pretty damn good
Certainly good enough to win. There was always a bit of her in all her tattoos on the show. You could look at one of her tattoos and go "yep, that's a Laura Marie tattoo."
Omg, that Doja Cat tattoo looks awesome! I am always extra happy when potraits turn out good.
This is making me want another tattoo 😂❤️
Do it 👀
21:40 I just got my first one and I told my artist to not let me look at it or know it’s near me because I can pass out just from seeing a needle. But I agree, medical needles are so much worse and its really frustrating to tell people “yes I have a tattoo. But my friend needed to hold my hand the whole time and I almost passed out. I still hate needles”
I use to color my dad’s tattoo with washable markers as a child. He has unfortunately passed; but gave me permission to get his tattoo done on me before he passed
You definitely don’t need to keep your hair short after head tattoos, my mom has had 2 since before I was born and she’s always had hip length hair. She just got her third one to complete her set 4 years ago and yes it was a little annoying to grow out and heal but it’s was fully worth it for her. It’s really cool when she puts her hair in a ponytail because if you know she has them then you can easily see the bottoms of them and it just makes me smile.
I got anesthesia for dentist related stuff this week and I was freaking out a bit because needle in your mouth and all. The Dentist laughed and said she thought I would handle it no prob because of my piercings.
The Problem isn't the needle it's the pressure from the liquid they inject and it's super uncomfy
Omg I totally understand the not liking injections or blood draws! Same here! I hate getting those myself, even though I’m a nurse. I’m a nurse who gives vaccines frequently. I never assume someone with tattoos won’t be afraid of getting injections. I do love it when patients have shoulder tattoos when I give injections. A guy once had an awesome owl tattoo and where I needed to give the injection was right in the eye of the owl!! It was a very memorable for me! Also, I love your videos!! 💕
that girl who did her tattoos herself in her room - i hope she's pursuing a career as a tattoo artist maybe? bc she's seems really knowledgeable and also her art is awesome
You would absolutely kill it with a shaved head. Thanks for sharing 💜
I'm scared of needles so I asked ppl with tattoos I know it was cool that I asked. The mutual stories I got were that it's not as big a needle and it doesn't go as deep, so it's a tingling sensation. one of them was even cool with accompanying me to my first tattoo and gave me tips on things like: bring an easy to open snack, eat before the session because it hurts more if you're hungry. and so on.
I love Laura Marie. Btw, she's one of the winners of Ink Master. She won season 12.
My art teacher in high-school called glitter devil dust.... it gets everywhere LOL
That Jinx tattoo was insane! Definitely one of the cooler tattoos I’ve seen
One of my mother's best friends when I was growing up was fairly covered in tats but my favorite was a fairy on her shoulder. one of my most cherished childhood memories is sitting under a tree on a sunny day colouring in her fairy tattoo
I have the whole left side of my head tattooed. It is a geometric kind of pattern, with the outside lines a grey border with bolts, kind of like a sheild. The inside pattern has different shades of the bi flag. I have a mohawk so shaving my head isn't a big deal. The tattoo experience was easy for me compared to what the average stories are. My care routine has helped me avoid an itchy stage for years.
5:00 - Tattoos represent your personality. If you have to cover it up in situations says a lot about the people you have to do it for.
I shaved my head last year in January and got it fully tattooed, and let me say: I freaking hated every second of it! I have a snake on the back of my head, Flowers on top and mandalas on the sides. Not really really happy with the mandalas, but I am growing my hair out again and I am 9 months in. Maybe in a few years I’ll shave my sides to get my mandalas fixed. But the best part is, nobody can really see it, nobody expects a full head tattoo on a very girly women.
Yesssss I'm starting my arm sleeve this weekend! It'll be an anime patch work and I'm so excited! Also I agree with the lady reading that AITA post. I'm engaged to my fiance and we've been together for almost 6 years (in October) and I worry his family looks down upon me because I have tattoos and don't plan to stop getting them plus I want to get actual body mods as well. He told me that he didn't care what they thought and he still loves and accepts me for who I am. I don't even think they know I'm pansexual either. I don't know how accepting of the LGBT community they are. But it's like, they wouldn't suspect anything since I'm with him. But. It's not like I'm going to hide my identity either. If they ask if I'm straight I'm gonna be honest because I don't see a need to feel ashamed of who I am. He wanted to get a tattoo and ear piercings but I worry his family will bitch him out and think I'm a "bad influence". His mom and stepdad have tattoos. His brother and cousin do too but the fact I aim to have sleeves and face tattoos worries me (I mean his cousin has face tattoos too so. NVM lol. But she's family. I'm just an in law) ah help I'm giving myself anxiety!
I'm apparently very strange in that I find needles really cool. They're such a simple invention that does so much good! I have a lot of tattoos and piercings. I also sew all the time. I just think their neat.
the needle one is so real T_T i have quite a few piercings (13 or 14 can't fully remember) and a few tattoos but im still shaking with fear whenever i have to get a blood test or vaccine
as someone who wants to be a tattoo artist, i like watching these videos and learning every little thing i can
Aw yay! Russell has been my artist for years, love seeing him pop up on your channel. He’s amazing!
when i was little i used to colour in my stepdad’s tattoo on his arm, i loved it so much! i fully intend to do that now with my own (when i eventually get them lol)
I love your channel so much, you are just so likeable and I enjoy the weird world of TikTok tattoos being filtered through commentary. Lots of love from Finland!
Laura Marie won one for the season of Ink Master. She does amazing work for sure.
i’m fine with tattoo needles and i also do testosterone injections once a week (i’m trans) but i HATE other people giving me shots or taking my blood. just not being in control of someone sticking a metal point into me that i can literally see (unlike the needle on the tattoo machine) just makes me nauseous
I cant watch people do my shots (every 3 months) but ill watch someone tattoo me 😂ill get sad if I cant watch
The arcane tat gives me joy-
Always so nice to see you lauren you are stunning as always you always have interesting tattoo videos love you Lauren you would be a better tattoo artist than a lot of the people you ahow
I thought i didn't have the face shape etc to have anything shaved on my head. Well i got a free appointment at a hair solon school and i told the student "i want something like this go for it" and she was so happy that she got to do something FUN. Well. i enjoy having my right side shaved (based on my natural hair part is what side the teacher said would work best and etc). I understand, keeping it shave is pricy and i have done it myself but i need someone else to get the parts i missed.
i been thinking of putting a tattoo there in the future. but what i do not know. lol
shave your head go for it. and if you like it, then think about a tattoo. you wont regret it.
I am in the process of getting an olive leaf crown tattooed on my head. I am also making a progress Tiktok of it. I will link you in the tiktok when I post so you can see it as some point.
Yes please!! That sounds so bad ass!! 😍
@@treacletatts Fun fact, head tattoos heal up so much faster than other tattoo places. My head tattoo was healed in a little over a week (skin wise). It was dry after healing for a couple weeks like normal, and not shaving it while having to putting on ointment was a little annoying.
But the itching was not bad. I think the hair follicle holes help the shedding, so less time for skin to pull and itch.
The small face muscles/tendons in the side of my head hurt like a mother******* tho lol. I had some mild headaches for about a month after.
Perfect timing!!! As always, you look amazing ♡
Thanks my love 💖
@@treacletatts ofcourse ☺️ also love the content you put out 💜
I have a mandala in my under cut at the back...my husband loves shaving it as he says its like a magic picture lol
I love the Arcane tattoo at the very end oh my gosh big fan of the show would love a tattoo like that OMG
Love this series! Given me soo much inspiration and ideas for new tattoos! In the process of researching artist! Also I’m in love with your black out sleeve. Was never a fan of the style till I saw your sleeve! Gorgeous!
OMG I TAGGED U IN THE LAST ONE, THE DOJA TATTOO AAAAAAA and yes i agree 10000% she is SO beautiful and talented and funny and overall perfect i love her so much
I'm pretty sure Laura Marie won ink master didn't she?
I’m not sure, you could be correct 😄
She won the 12th season
Yeah and she's better than "pretty decent", she's incredible ❤
"I neede a security blanket over my face" was so cute! I usually shave my head, my hair is suuper thinn and I'm a black girl.. dont need to say more. Getting a tattoo on the side of my head is high on the list!
I was having a rough time and crying... random meltdown. This video totally calmed me. Thankoo for making these
My personal pet peave is seeing people use gloves thinking they are being sanitary but then they are touching everything they own before touching their open wound. You can't wear gloves and then go touch your door handle, your faucet, unsanitazed bottles etc it defies the whole purpose of having gloves in the first place. 😷🙅♀️
i just opened YT and thought about your tattoo tiktok series.. thank you. youre saving my really bad day rn:)
Ahh no!! So sorry to hear you’re having a bad day! I hope tomorrow is much better for you 💖
OMG that AITA was so bad. All I can say is “sir, run now”. This situation will more than likely not get any better the longer they are together. Damn
I don't really like how yall are reacting to that. If I'm being honest yall can't take one side because yall don't know how her parents are. Some parents are extremely strict as she said it when it comes to stuff like that. Both of them are in the wrong not just one but BOTH. She should've told her parents first and he should've showed more respect and not showed his tattoos. They could've had a conversation after dinner about the situation and how it should be handled. But blaming one person is down right foolish in my opinion. I've gone through that with my father and he was so strict to the point where he stopped talking to me for awhile and doesn't allow my boyfriend to come over. Yall got to realize that. She probably was scared about how her parents would react.
I 100% agree wrt tattoo needles vs medical needles. There's something that's like... less invasive? about tat needles cause they only pierce a few layers of skin but medical needles are going aaaaaallllll the way through, into muscles and blood vessels and urgh, hate themmmmmm
I haven't been professionally pierced (claire's defo doesn't count as professional lmao) and now I'm afraid of the needles just from your description 😭 but I want more holes in my ears so much 😣
Had a session Friday and forgot to schedule the next one till I started watching this video lol. I’m moving and need to finish this tattoo before going 🤦🏻♀️
I actually have the back of my head tattooed !!!! and with my hair grown out you can’t really see it now. I’ve been thinking about reshaving it or shaving my whole head to do the rest. The pain wasn’t unbearable , I napped through most of it but there were definitely a few parts that got uncomfortable. I’d definitely do it again !!!!
I cant afford tattoos so this is my therapy about not getting them 🤣😭
I hold the nurse's hand when I get shots. I cry too. I'm 68 years old😂
Thank you so much for this series! It's such a cozy blanket of content!
I don’t have tattoos but I have a severe medical needle phobia. I can easily watch a tattoo being done and the thought of it doesn’t scare me at all. Shots used to be really bad for me but since COVID I’ve been much better. But blood tests and cannulas give me intense panic attacks and cause me to faint.
What people don’t realise is that it isn’t the pain, it’s the thought of the needle being in your body for a long period of time. Tattoo needles are in and out quickly whereas syringes and IV needles are in you for anywhere from 5 seconds to hours (in the case of a cannula.)
I reached out to Laura Marie for my first tattoo! Fingers crossed that I get an appointment soon :)
I had to have an injection through my skin and into my lung once 😱 I'd never seen such a terrifying needle in my life!!!
Seriously, you need to watch Arcane!! Absolutely awesome show (based on a video game) and the reference for the split face tattoo! It's on netflix - go watch!
Sooo, I sympathise with the girl who coached her boyfriend. My mom is very strict and controling to the point of borderline abuisive. I'm a grown-up woman, but she still is very controling so something my fiance says often puts me in serious trouble. I have to tell him to stop sabotaging me everytime we visit my parents (but he still does it unknowingly), for me it's an issue of my personal safety.
Okay, I'm sorry but.....that ain't it. You are a grown woman as he is a grown man. If he has to endure your abusive mom as a means of being with you, if I were his friend/ sister/even Co worker I would tell him to run for the hills. Because he'll just be another victim to your mom's abusive, controlling ways. And if you both have kids and insist on the mother being in their lives, it will just mess THEM up. You being unable to separate from her control is a huge red flag.
@@DravenUrei you are not a part of this relationship, so you will never know what will be best for us

The tattoos that look like patches look cool 😎
I colour in my flower tattoo with markers too!
20:24 But the first moon was so small, quarter sized like she said, so she could've easily gotten a larger crescent moon as a cover-up! Maybe she was put off that idea by then :/ Cool to see this posted on 22.2.2022 :D
