This channel is all about creative, research-based content on the science, history, art, and culture of body modification, from scarification to cutting-edge smart tattoos and beyond. Cyborgs? Yup. Transhumanity? Aftercare? Sure, that, too. If it's how we change our bodies and ourselves, you'll find it here.
I have a PhD, a bunch of tattoos, and a love of research. I also love sharing knowledge with people, so that's what I do here: I do the research and bring the receipts.
This channel's content is not really geared toward people learning to become professional tattoo artists and the like (beyond just learning about the history, science, culture, and art of body modification). Please consider the content on this channel to be informative, educational, and entertaining (hopefully) but always talk to your artist or other medical professional before making any decisions about your body.

With new ink, here's what I do. I wash the tattoo. Then apply some good lotion (Eucerin or Curel) then I go to sleep.
I know its an old video but i want to comment thank you, love your calming voice :) i feel more comfortable about my new big leg tattoo
Great video thks
No more videos?
i miss the good times when people used to drill holes in their head....now they'r just staring at phones and not socializing anymore
i left my wrap on for 2 days and then sanitzed and ointment 3-5 times a day. i have seen very few flakes i got mine 6 days ago i am first time to to getting tattooo
I bruise easily. Like bumping against something multiple times, getting blood drawn. Would you advise if I would be able to get at tattoo?
When i see n watch you , few seconds after i need fart a lot, dont know why but its crazy, more i watch you on vidéo more i need fart a lot before go to restroom. Dammm
I have a tattoo on my upper arm and on my wrist and no one said anything about how to sleep, just to moisturize it with the recommended product often.
Would be cool if you made more videos like this. Was entertaining and informative to watch
homunculus moment
Bro ur voice calms me down. Love it
Im in my peeling stage and my red color ink on my tat starting to go away is that normal?
Chocolate and red wine post tattoo. Yes please. And then a bedtime story.
Im covered in tattoos already. I'm just here for that mellifluous voice.
Im day 5 in and no peeling or anything just a lil bit plastma first 2-3 days. Kinda has a 3d effect when toching it. Its a hand tatto btw and not as much ink in 1 spot
His calmness calms me Lol...too many people talk about this stuff with such urgency it makes you paranoid
Never be in the sun feels excessive and fear about sunscreen seems unsubstantiated and fear mongering :(
What is in the slightest amusing about this topic? Nothing humorous at all about it.
Dark humor.
This was a great video and I feel a lot better. Getting my first tattoo tomorrow 😄 Thanks man!
I've put sunscreen two times on a 4 days old tattoo, will it cause any damage?
Finally someone said it 😊 As someone with medical studies (and tattoos), I can agree to all that. Even with knowing all this, overthinking can get the best of me sometimes:)) But then I just sit myself down, be rational and calm down. Be careful with cats also, the bacteria they carry in their mouth is "nastier" than dog's. We have an immune system that's doing it's job, and with a little help and care from us, all will be fine 😊
"Why you might have been overthinking the whole thing..." I feel exposed 😅
This is a very good video, love it!
Thanks bro. Helped chill me out. My saniderm just came off on day 4, and I had a deer in the headlights moment of "oh no, now what." Then saw all kinds of scary stories. Also yeah. The saniderm made my first tattoo aftercare extremely easy. Barely worried about anything until it came off, but I guess its pretty solid now on day 5.
Make ig videos and compare the comments😂
If you stretch it, the adhesive ceases to be sticky, just like 3M hooks on the wall. Like, pull it away from the tattoo, horizontally, not toward the tattoo or perpendicular to the skin.
Thank you. I’m 30 and this is my first tat and it’s 4:30 in the morning and my wrap came off and I’m nervous. This helps a lot
This guy's soft voice is so refreshing im so tired of being yelled at by youtubers on every video 😂
Three days ago, my tattoo was removed for the first time, but the skin is still tight, red, and painful. Is this normal?
My second skin leaked while I was asleep, so that was fun. I would assume air explosure would be good for a healing tattoo not because air heals, but because there won't be any friction from your shirt and other outter wear robbing against it.
I want this guy to read me a bedtime story... what a great voice ❤
I use the same exact soap and lotion for mine. Stuff works great!
UGHH THANK YOU I WAS FREAKING OUT 😭😭
Very professional thank you
Your entire demeanor and the way you speak is calming, even therapeutic. I clicked this video looking just for information, but I got a lot more than I came for. Great vid and subscribed for the positivity
I just go to bed as normal and hope my new tattoo doesn’t become one with the bedsheets 😂 Been really lucky so far, lol….Only time I’ve had ink in my bedsheets from a tattoo, is when they’re peeling….My new one is currently peeling and itchy AF.
This calmed me down a lot, I’ve gotten a very small and simple fine line tattoo around 2 days ago and I’ve been trying to avoid sleeping on it since everybody says, you shouldn’t put pressure on it and I was terrified of ruining it….but I think I will be just fine☺️
Why am I attracted to this guy 😮
I'm sleeping with plastic every day, but of course, when I wake up, I take off the plastic and return to the normal cleaning outine... is there any problem with sleeping with plastic every day? because I have 3 cats and I'm afraid they'll lick the tattoo at night..
👍
Thank you for this video!
Hi EWU.. 💀
Having my neck done on Thursday and have bought a couple of these as they are great for their price.
Very informative, well done video.
Please use BC. "BCE" is highly offensive.
Huh? How so?
Thank you for your calming and informative videos, everyone else make the process overwhelming
Great information
OMG my cat has come close many times to scratching my fresh tattoos😅😅 also I tend to add more moisturizer at night on my tattoo
thank you so much, this video was very informative! :D
