  • Getting your first tattoo is a rite of passage. It's something that many of us ponder over for years. And once you go through with it, your body is changed forever and the urge to continue collecting grows. We sat down with Los Angeles based artist Sasha Masiuk and her client Karen to document the process of a first tattoo. Then we caught up with the pair after the ink to hear first hand what the experience was like.

    This is the kind of tattoo story that should be more prevalent, IMO. Thought through and mature. Granted, the other types of stories are often entertaining, but I don't think they should represent the primary way people get ink.

      My dad wasn’t disappointed that I got a tattoo, he was just disappointed that he wasn’t there with me and I did it secretly
      Keep in mind that I was 23 by this point, I just think he didn’t want me to regret it. He doesn’t mind now because its just a tiny one on my wrist. I did promise him that he’d get to go with me for my next one.

    I have 5 tattoos by 3 different artists, 3 done by the same, the only difference in pain was the placement for me. The most important thing is chemistry with the artist, trust the process and give him/her as much artistic freedom as possible. My favorite ones are the ones where I just pointed out the main subject and few details to incorporate, all the rest was completely up to the artist. My first I went in with a picture and just said "I want this". And it's my less favorite one

    It's like getting scratched by a pet.
    For hours on end. Literally.
    It's that painful, but over time it starts to suck.
    I find the worst part is the constant wiping.
    That being said, the ditch on my arm sucked, a lot, it felt more intense in that one spot for 10 mins than the rest of my forearm.
    I find liner scratches harder than shading, but shading needs to be pounded in, so longer in one area.

      @Jaz P so far I've done a 6hr and a 4hr in chair. My next appointment is Friday. See how long we go for. I'm doing a full sleeve, sofar we are only halfway done my forearm lol 1500$ in so far.
      I'm with you though, it really starts to suck after 3 hours... I took a break and took 4 Advil and 4 Tylenol, helped for another 3 hours, but hard on the stomache so eat lots.

    People always ask about first experiences, what about the 3rd time you got tattooed? When was that one session where you truly fell down the rabbit hole and it was the point of no return. Let's of people get one tattoo and stop.

    I’m the same as the artist, Ive always gotten stuff I think looks cool, some have a bit of meaning but mostly it’s just stuff I think looks cool, also just giving my artist an idea and letting them do whatever they want. If you have a good artist you should be able to let them do whatever they want and end up with something amazing.
