Maybe wear clothes that can get a little stained (in case some ink gets on it), so maybe not your favourite white blouse :D
Preach haha
Yes! Ink and also blood haha
Unless all your clothes are black😁 then your good
If a tattoo artist is getting ink on your clothes you might want to go to somebody else..
I second this. Stained my favorite dress like an absolute idiot during my last session. Lmao
Headphones and tunes! You can space out and your artist an concentrate. Oh, and cash for a tip for a job well done.
I always pay cash for the entire thing. One of my artists I was paying and giving huge tips every time I had a session and we messed up on one day where I had it as one day he had it as another and after 3000 plus dollars of work when that happened he threw a fit and before this he fucked up one part of my tattoo and considered it my fault and we had a blow out over his pride getting in the way of constructive criticism wasn't being a dick at all (why would I want to piss of the person putting ink in my skin) but because of that we are done and he's never even tried to say hey let's make things right. This is what I call a real piece of work and started going to a friend that is a great artist but right before we were done he passed away. And now a lot of good artists won't work on another artist's work and idk what to tell them when the person doing it literally can't ever finish it. Thought it was bad enough losing a friend but my point is way to many artists have a good complex where they act like your time means nothing in comparison to yours.
tossed but not sunk ss fucking hell what is this comment? 😂 ramblings of a mad man like
@@ScooterSkillsYolo just enjoy it and shush😂😂😂
@@ScooterSkillsYolo ngl your comment made me crack up,thanks😂💀
Derek G oh noo 😂😂 is it just me but I feel rude blocking out the artist that is making a permanent art on my body! Also I just love to chat with my artist, it is like therapy and sometimes we laugh so much that we actually have to stop tattooing for a bit so it wont mess up 😆 I suggest to get to know your tattooer if you are going there for more than one session, it also might feel safe to really know that there is a person to talk to.
My boyfriend got the arm of destruction from full metal alchemist. It took 6 hours and the tattoo artist asked 4 hours in if we could take a break to order food lol we were more than happy to cuz we were also starving! Lol
My last tattoo I sat in the chair for 7 1/2 hours. I am so glad that I brought food and drinks. My body was exhausted by the end of the session. My leg felted like it had been filleted sitting that long.
Haha nice! Im getting the cross/snake symbol tattoo'd next week
i mean my artist and I went to 7/11 across the street before we started then we ordered pizza. it was great!
@@Noah-my4dh how was it??
I love how you guys were so cool about it! My tattoo artist offers to buy dinner on him because we sit there and talk for HOURS. Hes awesome!
I like how you said "or you can just sit.. and stare... at the wall........ for hours." 😂💚 Thank you for sharing. 😊
A little late to the party, but for the ladies if you're getting a back piece and don't have anything with thin straps, don't wear a bra and wear a zip up hoodie backwards. Of course, make sure it's not too abrasive on the inside.
Ash Doudle This actually a very good advice, thank you!
Thats a great idea!
Thank god i came across this now, getting a full back piece tomorow, linework only 😅 it'd be my 19th tattoo lol, never thought of that
@@vampire_fr3ak226 how is it??
@@leximoll162 ?
I change sheets and vacuum / clean before a tattoo so I’m bacteria-free
I do these too 🙂 and I also go to sauna (I'm Finnish) the night before because then I can't go in a few weeks with the new ink 😅
That's a really good idea 💡
an important part of prep in my personal opinion is SERIOUSLY HYDRATING. drink a ton of water leading up to the session.
Opposite experience for me, when the pain gets really bad I'd almost pee myself with a super full bladder
Bad choice to do lmao don’t drink that much that u gonna need to go washroom every 10 minutes
Agree 100% You don't need to chug water day of if you don't want to go to the bathroom. Hydrate well the day before and don't drink caffeine the day of. You want your skin to be hydrated from within.
The last 2 times i got my ink (5-6 hours each sesh), i showed up with a coffee, a 2 litre bottle of water, a bag of lollies, a xl frozen slurpee, a sandwich and a banana and chocolate. My artist was pretty impressed that i had lots of sugar to keep my energy up and lots of water. I ate my sandwich when she went on a smoko break.
I have never been tattooed (have wanted to, but keep flip flopping on theme). But having some hard lollies to suck on makes sense. They might allow you to distract yourself a little from the pain.
I dont get tattoos but its so cool to hear someone who is super into their craft talk about it and also your voice is so calming! :D
I agree this is a great channel. This is what you should watch before getting a tattoo
@@whitealliance9540 im getting one tomorrow so im stressing and watching this. Im just falling asleep! Her voice is so soothing
@@leximoll162 just relax. I hope you're getting something quick and simple for your first try. Like, dont get a huge portrait of batman on your sholder or anything lmao & bring a book. Let the artist treat you like a canvas. Pee and poody before you go and once you get into the shop and eat a thick peanut butter and jelly sandwich while you wait your turn.
I've always preferred to go alone for my piercings or really any big decision in my life (enlisting in the army, moving across the country for work, getting back into college, exploring national parks), so I've planned to go alone for my first tattoo... but I never would have thought about making sure I had entertainment. Go figure. Thank you! ❤
My next appointment is on my artist's birthday, so I'm getting her a present
I recommend giving the area you want to tattoo a little extra TLC for a few weeks leading up to the appointment. Scrub and moisturize, especially areas like elbows and knees where the skin can be a bit gnarly 😁
I'm 3 weeks out from my appt and have been moisturing consistently several times a day - this is great advice and makes so much sense! You want the skin to be supple and as easy to work with a possible...it will be over faster too!
Very helpful 🙌
When I got my arm tattooed years ago, my body went into shock as the needle went around the "funny bone" (nerve in elbow). I would advise sugary snacks to help keep your blood sugar levels up; this helped me snap out of the shock state my body went into. It's crazy how fast your body can go from being fine to shutting down because your bodies had enough.
I spent 6 hours under the needle one day, started to into shock at about hour 4, my artist felt my body temp drop, stopped work, asked me how I felt, I was getting a little light headed, he popped a Dr Pepper, sat mr up and I came right put of it. not diet, full sugar soda or juice might he a good idea to bring along in case you start getting stage feeling.
I had a tattoo artist who always kept chocolate just in case
I like to eat Lollipops when the pain gets too intense to prevent fainting
@@ghadrackpotato960 that's actually a really good idea I definitely agree with you bringing a Dr Pepper it's the best idea beforehand
@@celljrperfectform2002 LoL, thanks completely random post I made 2 years ago and by my spelling probably half drunk. But I stand by it, over the years I've noticed that really good tattoo artists all seem to have a fridge or a mini fridge in their studio stocked with soda, the fact my guy felt my body temperature change and knew I was going south was impressive, I never forgot and sent every bit of business his way I could.
I swear I listened to everything she said. Great tips and all. But I won't lie. She is absolutely beautiful and it's all I could think about lol
I take Gatorade and peanut m&ms, and wear yoga pants/loose tank top for upper body tattoos and a sun dress for leg tattoos 🙂
No tattoos and stumbled on this channel and I have to say these videos are so therapeutic! Thank you Linda
Glad you like them!
@@electriclinda sending love from Cali, USA. Keep on goin!
Tatoo shops should be treated like medical settings.
Wait, they aren't over the great pond?
The best ASMR video before sleep
She surely could drop that background music she doesnt need it! That probably why her other vid went viral cause its no music
Honestly true
also if you’re younger you should bring your ID card
Bananas are high in potassium which helps with cramping
What a timing, now I'm even more excited for my new tattoo in a couple of weeks. Going to be a 5-6 hour session, but I'm sure I can do it!
I made the mistake once of getting a tattoo after doing a 10 hour awake shift and I could tell the difference from having tattoos on loads of sleep vs none safe to say I never made that mistake again.
I have a video idea : Getting tattoos aboard / planning tattoos aboard
Love the videos :)
Same😂
You mean 'abroad'? I got a big tattoo in another city and I would *definitely* recommend staying overnight afterwards, if it's sizeable. I'd planned on going home straight away but my flight was cancelled and I had to stay overnight. The tattoo leaked a lot and the dressing began sliding off. Luckily I had time to pop back first thing the next morning and the artist cleaned it up and re-dressed it. It healed really well, but I was actually really grateful to have her clean it up - especially because it was on my back.
@@GrandisSilva It's funny that I came across this. I've been talking to a tattoo artist that lives on the other side of the world and I'm currently planning a trip to get this tattoo started! Thanks for your story! Been trying to get prepared anyway I can
Christian House that sounds exciting! I'd definitely suggest staying a day or two afterwards if you're able to, depending on how big it is. Travelling with a fresh and messy tattoo is pretty difficult, so you want to make it as easy to look after it as you can. Good luck with the plans!
Me, constantly running on ungodly levels of exhaustion: This is fine
I always bring Clif bars or other protein type bars. Good energy and not crumbly!
Almonds, beef jerky and water👌and Yes,she’s so right, don’t get a tattoo when you’re on your period... Our bodies for some ,are way more sensitive. LOVE YOU Electric Linda
Yah, an artist should not be interrupted, and it’s super boring for the friend you bring....😂
Ugh a tattoo combined with cramps would be awful lol
I think the big reason why getting a tattoo is so exhausting is because it takes a lot of energy and will power to manage pain.
Your body is absolutely doing A LOT of work producing the endorphins it needs to combat it yes
I always make sure my appointment is as early in the day as I can get it, I'll make sure I have had loads of food before hand, I'll also take a snack with me to have mid way, and plenty to drink... I'll also bring something warm to wear for afterwards, because even though I'll be in my car I'm always freezing cold after it...
I've been tattooing for 30 years and I still get some really good advice from you!'
Snack advice: trail mix, 2 to 1 ratio nuts to fruit, gives you fast and slow burning energy and prevents low blood sugar(which I’ve been through and it sucks), and I’d avoid caffeine or energy drinks for the reasons mentioned also because it can make you antsy. I recommend Gatorade or Powerade. Those electolytes are precious. And like Linda says this is only my experience everyone is different.
I take a small blanket for a long session as after 2/3 hrs of inactivity & the physiological reaction to pain, I start to feel cold. But as soon as I'm warm I fall asleep for 10 minutes here and there. I make a deal that my artist has to wake me if I drool or snore. Never a good look.
I've been thinking of getting a tattoo for the last ten years! I'm the big 50 now. Please talk about age and tattooing. Obviously one's skin isn't as supple as it used to be. Any risks or precautions we should consider? Many thanks for your video.
Great idea! Thanks!!!
It all depends on if the artist knows how to work with your skin type
So did get a tattoo yet?
Moisturise for a few weeks and hydrate a lot beforehand helps massively I'm 55 and booked in for a sleeve in 3 weeks...been 8 years since my other sleeve was done.
Thanks for the not arm shaving tattoo tip
Hello mam, I am from INDIA & I have been watching your videos that helped me a lot. Please make a video on tattooing on dark skin, should we have to make colour tattoo on dark skin and which brand colour we should use on dark skin. Please mam
It's crazy how fast your body can really go into shock after a couple of hours in a session sugary snacks/drinks is a must, also for appointment wise i'd recommend getting morning appointments mean's you can rest for the rest of the day
I remember when I was getting my chest tattooed the tattooers machine pulled some hair from my beard and stopped his tattoo machine 😂
Whoops! lol
Depending on the length of the session it is good to have a pillow.If you think that you may have to lay on your side a small pillow for between your knees is also good
Yes! Great idea!!! ❤️
Oh my gosh you are so calm thank you! I get my first tattoo tomorrow and was low key panicking because I have to go alone and wanted to make sure I was prepared. 😅
I’ve only got one tattoo so far, and when I got it done, my artist had had guys all day. I got a semicolon butterfly on my inner wrist. Apparently it was a real relief to have a girl because we take pain easier 😂😂😂😂 He also had a tv and he gave us the wifi password so we could chromecast onto the tv
Omg, thanks for the bra tip!
I’m wanting to get a back piece and what to wear for that has been the number one question on my mind!
never thought of a bikini top
I’m sure you’ve already gotten the tattoo but when I got my tattoo on my back I wore sticky boob cups. So my back was completely bare. 😁👍❤️
I find I get nauseated during the appointment so taking some graval before I go is a great idea. I also bring ginger candies for this reason too.
The Guinea Pig Mom gravel???
Or an antiemetic.
Thanks for the fantastic tips! I got 14 tattoos and getting the new next week😀 I’m never sleep enough , coz I’m super excited the night before 🤔
I did like it indeed! Now I have to get the guts to get my first tattoo :)
Your videos are so interesting and you seem like a genuinely cool laid back person. I'm actually getting my 2nd tattoo on April 6th and I don't know why I am just so nervous! Watching your videos helps me relax a little more so thanks for that.
Hey! Have a good tattoo session😁
Just don’t watch a comedy while getting a tattoo...
same for snuff and gore films if you easily get spooked
@@goodra999 i hope you're confused about what a snuff film is lol
On the note of packing things, bring water and sweet stuff! or like something with electrolytes in it. If you're going to be sitting for more than two hours or so, you want to keep your blood sugar at a constant level. During your tattoo session, your body is burning more energy (sugar) in fighting off foreign invader (ink, potential germs, etc.) and if you aren't replenishing on some thing heavy in carbs/sugars then you'll easily go hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) and can pass out. You want to keep hydrated throughout your tattoo session because you're inadvertently sweating, bleeding, burning energy, so to have water or something like a Gatorade (something with electrolytes - salt) helps in keeping your blood pressure up, so you don't pass out.
Seen too many people go white and green after having a tattoo without eating before. Food is so important.
Omfg your eyes are beautiful and I love your tattoos.
Linda! Your voice is so calming this was so helpful for my next tattoo
Awesome! Thank you!
Love your content, keep staying awesome! ❤️
So refreshing to hear someone say they dont know certain things and ask for help "I'm not a food expert please comment below" but yet give great advice on their expert subject of tattooing. Also a big thanks to the viewers who commented. I've subscribed now as my dad passed away in July 2022 and I'm looking to get my first tattoo. I'm watching all of your videos and reading the comments. Thank you so much and you seem like a great artist. Cheers.
Your makeup is perfect! Love your videos!
Food is so important, before and after, and have a sugary drink when getting it done. Learnt that the hard way Haha.
this video came in perfect timing to my tattoo appointment, thanks for your reassuring checklist :3
I loved your video! This was super helpful
"Don't overdo it with the coffee and fruits...."
*Me pretty much only consuming coffee and fruit* well this is awkward
I’m getting my first tattoos in a couple weeks and these videos are so helpful
Love your eye makeup!
The studio I go to has awesome art to look at while I get tattooed or pierced.
Weed and snacks plus numbing cream is heaven
I’ve been binge watching your videos all day while in quarantine. So thanks for them 🥰
Seriously everyone that's getting their first tattoo should be made to watch this!!! I wish I would have watched this before mine.
I hadn’t thought to bring some tunes or a movie. I usually watch the process. This is an awesome tip
Very good video. Helped me with preparing to a long session :) Keep up the good work, Linda :)
thanks for the tips. gonna get a awesome big tattoo soon, on my leg.
Great tips!
This was cool! Thanks so much! ❤️
Loved this vid 👍
So helpful thank you!
Thanks for the tips I’ve been getting tattooed for a few years now but I still learned a few tips that I can’t wait to try them out on my next appointment
I just love your voice I could listen to it all day
Thank you so much for this video,. Just got my first tattoo and this was so helpful love love love
Hello Linda - thank you so very much for the information- I have saved your video so that I can watch and take notes. I have an appointment with a tattoo artist coming up soon. I respect her time and patience so all your information is of great value too me. Thank you 🙏😊
I’ve watched a lot of your video’s, I’m preparing for a big masterpiece on my elbow, I honestly felt really bad on my “first” tattoo (it was a cover up of a stick and poke) because even though I had contacted my shop prior I was late to my appointment, I felt terrible but the shop seemed understanding, I’ve learned a lot from watching your video’s and I will be fixing my previous errors.
You've EARNED another subscriber 😊👍
Thank you this was very helpful!
I have six tattoos and I'm getting my 7th tomorrow, but it's always great to review what you may need to do and bring!👌👌
I wish i knew about this video before my first tattoo session. I got everything right in this video except for snacks or soft drinks. I love your videos. You definitely have a lovely voice.
Ty for the great advice i'm getting my first tattoo tomorrow ^.^
I love watching the artist work. For me that's entertaining enough, fascinating is more like it. Thanks for the tips!
Mys Katt me 2 but also as an illustrator myself, i hate when people just keep watching me while i work.. so i dont look much :P
Thanks for the video
Thank you! you helped me a lot!❤
I am sorry for just hearing about you but thank you so much for all the advice.
I just subbed and this is exactly my question! I will have to wash & wrap my braids! Thanks so much!
Thankyou so much for the video.
Great tips! And young look Amazing. See You at the Next video!
ABSOLUTELY Binge watching YOUR VIDEOS! You are amazing
❤️❤️❤️
Great information. I always have water with me sometimes I'll bring a Gatorade. As for food I bring raw almonds, a protein bar, banana, apple. I usually bring extra just in case someone else getting tattooed needs a little boost of energy, which I have shared numerous times. I always bring my iPod to listen to music when I need to get into a zone... I always wear loose comfortable clothing. I actually made special shorts to wear when I was getting my bum tattooed. Getting tattooed is a journey.😁
Great advice,shes beautiful
Rice crispy treats are what bodybuilders eat right before working out because a rice crispy treat digestive fast and its filling
Some people said this already, but no white clothes! When I was getting tattooed recently I was having a chat with my artist and another one that was working nearby - they said that it's awful because they spend all the time worrying and having to be careful not to stain the clothes
I love watch myself get tattooed lol obviously not turn or move my body but when I got my thigh tattoo I was just mesmerized by the whole process
When I went for my FIRST Tattoo... Prior, I spoke with the Tattoo Artist on what it all entailed.. then I scheduled a Day/Time for my first Tattoo..
The biggest thing I kept hearing my Tattoo Artist speak about, was he had seen people experience Nausea... and become sick feeling to their stomach's.
I stopped at the little store beside the Tattoo Shop before my appointment and got a HUGE Orange Juice, as such was always Sweet Tasting unto me, and too, it has a sugar level to it as well....
Got in to the shop, laid down on my side and gave the Tattoo Artist my leg so they could begin.. while I sipped the OJ... In time, since I had laid down for a while, I actually was becoming sleepy. The Tattooing work being done did not bother me as bad as I thought it would.
However, I did not get to sleep, as a couple of Marines came in, walked over to see what I was getting, struck up a conversation with me, and learned that I was Air Force.. Of course, the Marines were teasing me then, that it must not hurt if an Air Force man can go through it... So they decided to proceed to get a tattoo themselves. Now for the FUN ENTERTAINING PART...
Their Tattoo Artist had only just begun on the first Marine and the SCREAMING began as he claimed it HURT! ha ha ha... Soon, the Tattoo Artist told him that he could nor proceed if he continue to scream out like that.. Meanwhile, my Tattoo Artist and me was laughing about this whole scene... :)
The Marine then told the Tattoo Artist he would have to re-schedule and come back and do his Tiny Tattoo in Cessions due to the amount of Pain, ha ha ha... Yes, his Tiny 2inch x 2inch approx size tattoo was going to be done in cessions due to pain.. :) :)
When my Tattoo Artist finished my tattoo, he gave me a tube of cream to use daily, and directions on how to care for my tattoo during the healing process. I followed his directions, and must admit, even I was surprised as it healed right up without an scabbing or the like as I heard others said. My skin was slightly red in the area of the new tattoo, and the bright ink colors of the tattoo showed well.. in a few days, the skin red color disappeared and the just the bright tattoo showed.
I got 3 Tattoo's from them before I was sent to Riyadh Saudi Arabia due to Desert Shield/Desert Storm....
It's funny everything you said in this video.. are the things I do before I go to my tattoo appointments. I always have to prepared for the person doing the tattoo. ( cash on hand for that tip ) .. thank you for sharing so much. Love your videos
Only tip I have is for Diabetics, always test your blood sugar before, during a long session and afterwards.
I bring water, gum or mints. And something for nausea. Because every tattoo and place on the body is differant. Some nerves may be hit or may be more painful and cause nausea. I also brought my husband but he watches his videos on the phone or is outside. He just goes with me to be with me on the ride there and home.
All very sound advice, especislly the energy part, very spund advice. Im mentally preparing myself for another tattoo,its been over 10 years since i got ink.
God i love watching your videos & i just found your page yesterday 🤩
Another great video linda please keep it yp
I'm getting my first tats on thursday im excited !! Thanks for the tips ;) I will keep that in mind.
BOOM how’d it go?
lOVE YOUR VIDEOS
I'm getting my 4th tattoo later today. I was feeling a bit nervous because it's gonna be my biggest piece so far but this video definitely helped
