When you said Tattoo Talk Tuesday I could’ve cried
Sameee huhu
Me too 😭
for reaaaaaal
This time it keeps me happy with tattoos!
For anyone feeling rushed or that they can only get tattooed in their 20's, my dad and I got our first tattoos at the same time, he was 56. He now has 2 sleeves and got his hand tattooed last month. He's 60 now and has big tattoo plans for the future!
Omg I love this! So much can change from your 20s to 30s to 40s and beyond. By 56 your dad has a solid idea of what his tastes are, his preferences and goals. Great for him!
loved reading this! your dad sounds awesome! 🤗
this made me feel a much better 😭😭😭 im in my late 20s and sometimes I feel like time to get cool tattoos is running out
Sweet. Until this year, I had only four tattoos and the most recent was 20 years old. Now, at 49, I've started the journey of getting patchwork sleeves. There's no rush, but I do kind of wish I'd started into it again a little earlier when my skin was a little more elastic. My skin still takes ink fine at the moment, though.
@@artofstu42 big respect!! use sunscreen EVERY day and your skin will stay good for YEARS to come. My grandma still has amazing skin for tattoos and shes 73! have a good one
Chiming in with the "TTT intro gave me such a hit of seratonin" squad omfg
"The race to have a tattooed body should be a slow one" 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
i've been here since 2015 and the tattoo talk drew me in but i definitely stayed for you. you're awesome!
Same, I wasn't even tattooed back then. Took me 6 years aha.
I love the assertiveness expressed in this video! It's your life and body at your own pace.
I can still count on two hands how long I've been a follower for but I can't make any promises next year...
THIS IS A THREAT
As a Japanese American that never plans to get a tattoo (at least not a real one) I’m here cause I love your vibes.
This feels very mature and healthy. I respect your boundary setting. I’ve been eager to get more tattoos and this is a good reminder to slow down so I can enjoy the choices I make. 💕
I love this!! In college, i interviewed my professor for a tattoo project I was doing. He didn’t start getting tattooed until his 40’s when he had a PhD and a stable career and now he’s in his 60’s and is done being tattooed with his two full sleeves and a back piece!
Thanks for this vid, Quack! Getting a tattoo removed doesn’t invalidate your advice on tattoos. It makes it more real IMO since a lot of people have tattoos that they wish were better or not there at all. You’re our TTT queen and we love ya.
I love hearing about your journey! I constantly feel tattoo fever because of my Instagram feed. I also constantly see those who are younger than me who have wayyy more tattoos and that makes me feel behind on the game. But for what? For who? I don’t want to end up regretting placement or concepts in the future 😅 Thanks for staying true to yourself. 💕🖤
Yessss i totally feel the same way!!!
“Setting boundaries was difficult but so important” DAMN!!! Thats true hot girl shit!! Quiv, I am so proud of you for making these decisions for yourself and for speaking on this 🙏🏼 i feel like this topic was probably not the easiest to talk about given that its really personal and tough to speak aloud your regrets/missteps in your tattoo journey. Good for you ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Proud of you. Get a tattoo when you actually want one. I literally have none, so obviously I don't care that you have slowed down on getting tattoos. I noticed obviously that you were suddenly getting quite a few tattoos in the span of a year or so and then not a lot after. I did assume you slowed down to be more thoughtful about it.
Covid helped me slow down and evaluate the frequency with which I got tattooed. I also have a more limited income than in years past. I haven’t been tattooed in two years and am eager to get more, but I’m willing to wait for the right idea and artist now.
We are blessed with T3! Thanks Cool Kid.
Honestly, thank you for this video. It's because of your channel and Tattoo Talk Tuesday that I've slowed down my own tattooing process, despite judgement from the majority of my friend group. I'm making big tattoo plans [mainly full sleeves] and it's nice to hear it from you that slowing down is okay!
I waited 9 years from my first tattoo to my second tattoo. Even though I wanted to be a heavily tattooed person stuff like Ink Masters and tattoo nightmares really scared me and taught me to research artist and wait till I'm ready to get something done. Your chanel also helped. It's a bummer to hear the regrets you have over your tattoo journey but it's cool to hear you have so much planned out now. May both of us continue to get amazing work done we can enjoy for the rest of our lives
I've been following you for a long time, my guess would be 2015 or 2016! Yours was one of the first youtube channels I followed consistently, I think. I don't even have tattoos myself, but I have always enjoyed watching for your personality and the spirit you bring to your content, whatever the topic. I'm glad to hear you are taking the time to plan your tattoo journey in a deliberate way that feels good for you. Having an online presence must create a lot of pressure, and learning to take care of yourself and your boundaries in face of that is very important!
Honestly dude, I knew that you've slowed down in tattoo videos exactly because of what you're saying in this video! We've seen you working on completing and healing your back piece, as well as your new tattoo removal! Removing a tattoo takes a lot out of someone! I would say that your removal is taking as many appointments and cash as when you were focusing on tattoos. You're cool, dude.
I started getting tattooed around when I started watching your videos! I was more interested in piercings then, but I've always wanted to be tattooed♡♡
Hearing you say you regret a tattoo or dont love it is so refreshing and authentic. Thank you
I love this video. Your tattoo journey, the more you talk about it and with your removal and everything is super relatable for me. Especially now that you’re slowing down and when you say you don’t have to get all your tattoos in your 20’s 😫 I’ve been feeling a lot of pressure by social media & friends & it’s so hard to push back but like you I have had REGRET and that is not the plan or the vibe for the future
You're still getting outchies and spending money, that counts as a tattoo experience IMO XD
I've been here since "My Tattoo Appointment Essentials". Came for advice, stayed for your personality :)
Rarely post but been here since 2015, when I started getting tattooed. Great video.
Thank you!
I’m still getting tattooed in my 50’s! Slow and steady with lots of prep beforehand .
I started watching your videos back in 2016 for the tattoo content, stayed long term for your personality :) your videos are all very comforting to me no matter what the content is it always feels like talking on the phone with an old friend. Your tattoo content had a heavy influence on the way I choose to collect tattoos of my own and I feel much more educated than I would have been if I never found your channel. These videos are all still up on your channel for others to find so don't feel bad for not still producing content like that, your audience grows with you and I'm sure many of us don't mind. Quack forever
i realized in the past year that tattoos i want now are things I never would've thought of two years ago, and so when I'm 40 and have a new idea I'll still want space for it. taking my time :)
I think its great that you set boundries for yourself, everyone needs healthy boundries. Especially if your doing something that will be on you forever. 💛
I completely understand and respect your decision. I don't think I fully comprehended all of the feelings involved in tattoo regret until it happened to me. I always viewed my tattoos as a positive, like self elevation. Then when I had one I didn't feel good about, it became an emotional landmine on my body. I didn't like seeing it on myself and avoided others seeing it at all costs... it became kind of a self inflicted burden. Definitely shifted my perspective on how I plan pieces and choose artists, so much more methodical than I used to be.
im 23 and sometimes i do get stressed that I'm "running out of time" to get the tattoos I want. But the truth of it is, if I still want the same tattoos in 5 years that's a way better omen for how ill feel about them further down the line :) trying not to feel too bad about being broke. I'm getting to the point where I actually save money instead of dropping 1000 on a tattoo at my first opportunity. Seeing my account and knowing I can weather a decently-sized disaster is worth it versus being impulsive
I felt the same in my 20s bc I wanted to "live" and do whatever financially before it was tied up in morgages and babies ect. lol but that's my life plan it's not everyone's. Now in my 30s with my first child on the way and hella more bills, I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to get anymore so kinda low key glad it worked that way.
@@jjenniferr91 that's true! I don't want kids, so that's a huuuge financial strain I won't have in my 30s-60s (and I can leave my inheritance to an orphanage or something)
Beautifully said and im very proud of you for setting these boundaries. Can't wait to see where your journey takes you next! Happy to have TTT 💜
Thank you for sharing your experience and self-awareness. I think I needed to hear this 💖🍀
I came across your channel 6 years ago and i enjoy watching you grow and mature throughout the years! I look forward for future videos :) your doing great!!
I completely agree with you slowing down and being more deliberate with your tattoos. I've been fixing the ones I hate, and it's hard to not move on to new ideas before dealing with the ones that make my heart heavy to look at. The first video I found of yours was your stick n poke video, and that had only been out for about a month. I've been following ever since. It's interesting, because while I haven't been trying things because you've necessarily inspired me, I've noticed we have been growing and exploring similar interests together over the years. I also went to beauty school (I think you graduated a few months after me), and then left the industry. I've started sewing about a year ago. I picked up anime/manga again after a decade long break. I think as we get older, we come back to who we were when we were young. It's not a rush to reclaim our youth, but an appreciation for what we now know is our foundation. We've tried being who people want us to be, but we understand it doesn't fulfill us. I'm always excited to see what you've posted, and I'm looking forward to whatever you do next--I know it'll be fire.
Wow, honestly we are energetically aligned because I was just thinking about your TTT series like yesterday. New episode wooooo
I love that you talked about this. I've been here since 2015 and will always be here as long as you make content
this video came at a perfect time for me, i've been feeling similar things about certain tattoos i impulsively got. i finally took a deep breath the other day and booked a consult for removal. been here since 2015! love ya, quack
A sneaky tattoo talk!!! This was a really well-put update Qck
Been here for ages love your content of all kinds but TTT has a special place in my heart
proud of u and knowing ur limits!!! excited to continue seeing ur removal process and back tattoo process 💜💜💜
Love you sooo much, I am with you along for the whole ride girl. From the plush unboxings, tattoo talk Tuesday’s, Mari condo twitch streams and cat content. Thank you for being real and honest on this platform 🤍🤍🤍🤍
ahhhh ive missed the TTT intro!
So validating to hear you talk like this about being tattooed!! You’ve echoed a lot of my own feelings about being tattooed and I thank you for that! Been here since 2015 and still love ya mama quack
So proud of you and your growth. I felt so rushed to get all my tattoos as soon as possible because of social media, and I’ve realized how toxic that mindset was. Excited to see your finished back tattoo and your future ones!
Been following your for years, and you teached me so much. The way you discuss these subjects, honest and sometimes vunerable, has always reasonated with me. I am so interested in your tattoo journey ( and journey as a person ), whatever it may bring.
TH-cam recommended your channel to me back in the summer of 2017 when I was looking for ideas for my 2nd tattoo. Your channel helped me decide which direction I ended up going with my tattoos and where I will go next with my future ones
I personally enjoy the direction your channel has gone since I first discovered your videos. You are growing and learning and with that growth comes change. Yeah you don't get tattooed like you used to, but I like the person you've become and continue to grow into. I just wanted you to know that I appreciate you sharing your journey with us and that I could easily listen to you talk all day. You have such a soothing voice and a pleasing personality 😊
So excited for this video 🔥 also that intro made me feel three years younger
I loved this video - I respect and admire your setting healthy boundaries! I love and have learned so much from your channel. Thank you for the valuable information about tattoos that you have shared. I started with watching TTT and have been watching for years now - I’m sticking around!
Hey girl! Been watching you/subscribed for about 2 years. Absolutely love your videos, your vibe and your tattoos. I'm so happy you're putting yourself in a position to be empowered by your tattoo decisions, not pressured! Amazing!
We appreciate how open and honest your are. I've been loving all your other content
I appreciate that!
Been here for about 3 years! Love your channel. RESPECT GIRL. This is a great message to put out. I see all these people in their mid 20s with full body suits and I can’t help but feel like they’re doing it to fit an aesthetic. I love your tattoo goals- going big towards the future!
I admire the perspective you've gained. Your future tattoo goals, however distant they are for now, they sound amazing, and meaningful. Much support!
I love how you brought up the rushing thing or the ‘getting tattooed to get tattooed’. I definitely have done that and unfortunately 3 times cheated on my artist. The coming to terms with a piece you don’t live for is tough. As a tattooed person I am extremely grateful for this for providing a space for people to discuss this. I feel like my being not in love with a piece is often condemned…so I don’t talk about it. Anyways yep 💛
Edit: self awareness moment it’s definitely me condemning me ….lmao. But still hahah
Just found your channel! So excited to watch these and change how I think about tattoos. I got my first at 27 and now I'm looking at a sleeve, but I don't want to rush .
I think being more candid about your experiences makes your advice even more valid! Thank you for sharing your feelings about some of your tattoos and on tattoo removal.
thanks so much for posting this qck 🧡
been here since 2016 and i’m so grateful to have you there as my (slightly) older big sis. there to give me guidance on how to love my tattooed body and how to do it for me - in my own right. i’ve made tattoo choices that i regret at times but i have learned so much about boundaries and i’m humbled by the road it’s taken me on to self love. a place i never thought i would be.
thanks for being you! 🧡 here to support always 🧡
I appreciate your candor and much of what you said resonates with me. This is perfectly in line with the open and honest tattoo conversations I originally subbed for. ❤️
I’ve been following you for a few years and I’ve learned so much from you for my tattoo journey as you’ve been on yours.
hi qck!! i feel the same about putting in time and energy to save for tattoos i really love rather than rushing. ive been a watcher for almost 5 years now, and so happy and grateful for all ur previous tattoo content!! ty!!
I found this channel back then while looking for tattoo content as I am a tattooed person, nor only did I find what I was looking for on Qcknd's channel, I stayed because of the personality and the sense of humor. Love you. 🌷
So wholesome😭😭 going to Japan for a memorial tattoo would be so sweet 😭😭 great ending for a serious vid.
I feel like I want to rush into tattoos as someone who wants to finish my sleeves so that I feel comfortable and confident.
Can't wait to continue this real life tattoo journey, because tattoos take time. It takes time to feel confident and satisfied in your tattoo body
I admire how transparent you are about tattoo regret ❤
I love this! I’ve been here since I was 17 and am about to turn 25. You’ve been so instrumental in my tattoo journey which I’ve only started 3 1/2 years ago. So glad you’ve set boundaries for yourself (boundaries are hot as shit 😤) and are continuing your journey at a pace that makes sense for you. So inspired by you!
I started watching your youtube right before you started going to beauty school and you played such big role in me learning to love traditional tattoos and becoming a tattoo artist myself. Thank you for that!
I have been watching you since 2015 and have always enjoyed your content! I’ve bought your merch and I wear it all the time! I also binge your vlogs!! Much love qcknd!
ive been following you for sooo long, and i really respect your outlook on this. I am also tattooed, and i plan out my tattoos for literally years before getting them. the one i "rushed into" i ended up getting covered bc it just wasnt something i loved, even though it was really small. over the years ive also realized more and more that being tattooed is a lifelong journey, and there is no rush. we move around a lot so it's hard to find good artists that tattoo in the style i like, and i wont go to "just anyone". Im here for whatever content you make! i just love your channel and i love your vibe on life :)
Such a great video, thank you for talking about these topics that people dont usually delve into as a heavily tattooed person!! Thankyou for your authenticity
I just want to pop in and say thank you! I found your channel before I was of tattooing age. I feel like I really learned a lot from your videos about setting those healthy boundaries you talked about. I feel like the information you shared really helped me make informed decisions about what tattoos I want and who I want them from and I just am really grateful for that. I love all your content weather it's about tattoos or not! Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us and being a radical human :)
Appreciate the Knowledge you have shared n helped in starting my own Journey of being tattooed
I really appreciate you doing this video. I found your channel in 2017 I think, and you were a huge reason I learned so much about tattoo culture. I feel like you really helped educate me and I watched every single one of your tattoo videos soooo many times. Although I miss your tattoo content, I totally understand. I’m a long time lover of Qcknd and I appreciate you so much! 🖤
I subscribed right before I went to college in 2016! And it was your ex-files content that originally intrigued me. I loved your tattoo talks and five fact fridays and occasional YT livestreams too! I can’t believe how much has changed in the community and with us since then, but I am so glad to have found you! I am also excited to explore this next part of your journey with you and this lovely lil community! Thanks for the mems and all the inspiration girl
My tattoos wouldn’t be so good if it weren’t your videos- glad to be on this journey with ya! Thanks for all the great videos through the years 👏🏽 Glad you have grown and have stuck to your convictions- happy for you Qcknd!
I've been watching your channel for 6-7 years now, and your videos helped me so much when I was first starting to get tattooed. Even though you don't make much tattoo content anymore I still love your channel and feel like I'm learning from you all the time. Thanks for still being here with us 💙
Love you QCKND, I found your videos in late 2015 when I was naturally going from a place of thinking tattoos were bad to being curious about them. It's been so great to not only watch you grow over the years, but to grow along with you. I now have two tattoos, and watching you thrift and change up your style gave me the courage to explore my own styles as well. I fully support your journey, tattoo or otherwise, and love seeing you do what is best for you.
Been watching your content since maybe 2015/2016 and it's been amazing to watch you on your journey. Love all you do!
I missed tattoo talk Tuesday!! Loved this week's topic. I'm glad you're prioritizing yourself in this journey and its definitely a good example and good advice on how to go about getting tattooed long term. Esp since I struggle with that idea of "getting tattoed in my 20s" bah.
I've been following your tattoo content since 2017? And you've helped me so much in navigating the world of tattoos and developing my own voice about the topic.
Ty ty ty and good luck with your tattoo journey!
Slow and steady babyyyy! It’s the way to go
Quicky! I’ve been watching you for multiple years and just want to say that you are beautiful and your content is A+, even if you “aren’t” getting tattooed. Your lip is healing amazingly as well!
hee (and if i may) HAW. HOLY SHIT QUACK this makes me SO HAPPY
commenting for the algae ♥️
This was so refreshing and nice to hear quick!
I'm so excited for you in this more paced out tattoo season, it brings a sweet anticipation and peace to your deliberations about how you care for your body!
I love your content and have been watching I think since 2016? Or 2017, something like that 🤔
I’ve been here since 2018, before getting my first tattoo, I decided to go the traditional route because of your videos and many tattoos later I couldn’t be happier about my decision. I’ve forwarded your videos to every friend that wanted to start getting tattooed and I’ve used your tattoo healing routine for every tattoo I’ve gotten and I always get so many compliments on how well taken care of my tattoos are. So I just wanted to say that I’m really thankful for all the time you’ve put into this channel and that whatever route you go in I’ll always be grateful to you ❤️
I totally understand that. I have much less space on my body now and it's so much harder to choose a design I want. I keep going over ideas and placement until I ultimately decide that's what would make more sense and then get it.
I have followed you for a long time, since ca 2014-2015. You inspired me and helped me make better decisions when getting my first tattoos and for that I’m super thankful. Anything you do now is just a bonus, I just like listening to you talk, because most of the time is very thought through and relaxed. I kept on following not only because you seem to love tattoos as much as me but also because I like and respect you as a person ☺️
I feel like I was getting tattoos just to get tattoos because I was seeing friends my age getting so many so often. I ended up with 4 Friday the 13th tattoos that although I don’t hate, I don’t love. I didn’t even realize I was doing that, just because friends were going. Until this video I didn’t even think about it.
I definitely get that as well
I've been watching your content since around 2015 when I became really interested in tattoos and body mods as a baby teen, watching your videos when I had the "get everything tattooed before 30" attitude and you helped me slow down and think about what I want in a tattoo experience! I'm so super grateful because currently I have no tattoos, and I may never get one, but if I do I know it'll be the right one at the right time. Also, I really enjoy your recent content and streams, I think it suits you really well. Always on your side Quick!
I think I've been subscribed for about 2 years? Initially found the channel's tattoo content but wound up subscribing after watching a couple of videos like this one where you speak candidly about what's important to you. Love that you put such an emphasis on being thoughtful and considerate of yourself and others throughout so many of your videos.
I've been watching you for like 3 years now and I came here for the tattoo content because I was thinking about starting my own tattoo journey and I needed some education (non of my friends were tattooed at that moment). You definitely helped me a ton with choosing tattoo artists and tattoo concepts/designs so I cannot thank you enough🙌
I stayed for your new content and twitch streams because of you and your interests and personality, I'm not going away that's for sure ♥️
I’m a long time subscriber of your channel and I must say it’s so interesting to literally watch someone evolve and grow over time! I started watching you when I had not even one tattoo and now I’m booked for a leg sleeve lol 😆 your videos where you express your views as a tattooed woman help me so much
Been a subscriber since 2015ish & will continue to stay for you & your personality! We have a lot of common interests but no matter what content you put out I’m almost guaranteed to love it. Happy to have you here & sharing with us! ❤️
ive been here since i was in highschool and now i’ve been a tattoo artist for over 3 years :)
ive always loved you and your content
Came for Tattoo Talk Tuesday, stayed for whatever quack has to offer whether its tattoo related or not! Especially loving the vlogs and twitch content (even tho I usually don't catch it live because of hemispheres and shit)
bestie i can only imagine how difficult it was to film this but you did such a good job! take your time, as it is your body and travelling to japan sounds super exciting and is so thoughtful of you.
❤️ I wouldn't be who I am today without you, Q. You were a big influence on me growing up and I'll always be here for your journey. You've helped me so much through mine.
I've been here since 2015 or 2016. I found you from either a scarification or tattoo video and I've stuck around ever since! I have learned so so much from you!
I'm so happy to hear all this. I commented years ago about being cautious about the tattoos you choose, since they are forever. I guess time makes us all wiser.
Thank you for sharing and being clear on your boundaries! I've always admired that about you and its helped me feel comfortable being slow and deliberate in my own tattoo journey. Since you asked, I've been following along on your journey for maybe 6 years and I love and appreciate all the aspects of yourself that you've shared with us. It helped me realize that being a tattooed punk doesn't have to look just the one way 💕
I love this. As someone who gotten tattoos so slowly I sometimes feel like i'm doing things wrong bc I see so many people younger with more tattoos, I just feel like getting them slower and with more financial thought makes them more special for me. also bc the only tattoo i've gotten rushed is my ugliest one lmao
Been here since 2015 back when I was still in high school before I ever got tattooed lol. Glad to see you're doing what's best for you quack, sending you all the positive vibes
i started watching your channel after i got my first tattoo when i turned 18 in 2017, it's a fairly large tattoo of three birds on my forearm and although i don't regret that tattoo at all i really do regret getting it the way that i did and really wish i had waited and found an artist i liked and felt comfortable telling the artist no when it's literally something permanently on my body. i really respect you and respect this video. it's lovely to see you here and i'm excited to see whatever you share with us in the future
Since everyone's sharing...lol I found you when you posted your first healing vid a few years back. You've helped tremendously me with my journey so I'm v greatful but ofc I stayed for your rad af personality and overall entertaining content. I'll always support financially when I can or just in general ❤️
Thank you so much for talking openly about this! Ever since i was in my teens i wanted to become a somewhat heavily tattooed person. i'm 25 now and this is still my goal but i haven't gotten a single tattoo in the past 7 years when i would have been able to. i have a whole list of tattoos i've been wanting for years now, but i haven't found any artists in my country yet that i'm 100 % in love with and i simply don't have the budget to travel to other countries for the artists that i love. sometimes i think to myself that i souldn't be so "obsessed" with finding the perfect artists or shouldn't have such high standards and just get started already.. but your experience with rushing tattoos just really reassured me that i'm doing the right thing and that there is no actual need for me be to be tattooed in my early twenties even though the many young and tattooed people around me sometimes make it feel like it.
