The “coverup” tattoo aka the pointing out of everything negative wasn’t mean! It was the new tattoo. She got it marked in red ink just like we used to get our stuff graded in school. I love it.
Yeah, the girl actually is learning how to tattoo & did that one on herself, then let a other artist do that "Cover up".. 😅
For my first tattoo, my mum was actually pretty hyped about it since she knew I was clearly very excited for it, but it was my dad who was maaaad. Questioned why I would do "something so stupid" and told me not to show my granddad. Jokes on him, when my granddad saw it he proceeded to toke me around the rest of the family and make them all look at it because he was so amazed haha
that's such a dope story lol I love your granddad
whatd you get tattooed?
My mom didn't say "I'm not upset, just disappointed" because she was indeed just upset. My only tattoo (so far) is a couple flowers on my arm right below the elbow. My mom thinks it will prevent me from getting a job.
Oh it 100% won’t! Very easy to hide placement anyway 😄
Don’t worry too much hun, mums tend to over exaggerate (I know from personal experience) and like Lauren said it’s fairly easy to cover 💖
I work in software and everyone has tattoos. Visible tattoos, colorful hair, and piercings have never been an issue at any of my office jobs. I’ve also taught at a university and there weren’t an issues there either. In fact, the only job I’ve ever had that cared was fast food lol You’ll be fine!
I have many visible tattoos. I’ve worked as a CNA for 5 ish years and I’m almost done with nursing school. I have many coworkers with visible tattoos. It’s seriously not a big deal these days, unless it’s offensive or something which it sounds like yours isn’t
Sometimes, I don't understand those kinds of stories, but that sucks. My mom has a mentality of well if you got it than you have it ig but don't let anyone make you feel like shit for having it and I don't and if they got an issue tell them your my daughter no theirs and she's gotten into arguments over it with aunts and her own bf (he dodnt like that i got one done) and I do think if you think your parents or guardian is capable of listening to you a bit to take a moment when they are in a good mood and say smt thay your gonna get it I reminded my mom Religiously about mine where it's at and what time and where I'm getting it done, or also just get it done Secretly
To the older lady rocking the chest tattoo and the dress, face piercings, etc.: you are literally The coolest person I’ve ever seen and you look freaking awesome! Love your vibe. Keep being amazing! ❤️
I want her to be my grandmother!! 😢😢😢
Fr I'm going to also be that old lady with two full sleeves and gagued ears and that's that 😤
@@courtney1496 same here!!
I did my first tattoo myself at 16. I was a piercing apprentice at the time, so I was thankfully able to make everything as safe and sterile as you can at home, but it was still done at home on my bedroom floor 😅 it was the initials of my best friend who had passed away a few months prior in her handwriting, done on her birthday while watching her favorite shows and listening to her favorite music. It's over a decade later and I have no regrets and I refuse to cover it, even though it's fading. It meant too much to me to let someone else do it, and I wouldn't have been able to enjoy her favorite things during it if I'd been in a shop.
That’s beautiful. I have a memorial tattoo also. It’s my largest one and it makes me feel like they’re still here every time I look at it. I didn’t worry about what anyone’s (aka parents) reaction would be
@@smellslikelayne I did mine stick and poke style with a sterile 1RL needle and tattoo ink from ebay 😅
I did some novel cover illustrations for a writer that can't draw and can't find any reference that suit her ideas. She sent me 2-3 doodles of what she wants with descriptions. The commissions went really well. I can guarantee that your little doodles of your ideas help artists like a lot. At least we know what you exactly want so we can move on to things like fining details instead of letting the artists throwing their ideas and waiting for one that sticks.
Ditto. People describing things with words and expecting you to draw it is awful. I'm not a police sketch artist, ma'am! 😭Please, I'm a visual thinker, I am begging you for some squiggles and lines! I promise it will help me to help you
I'm currently recovering from Top Surgery and have been binge-watching this series while i heal! Thank you so much for the amazing content 🥰 i cannot wait for my scars to heal and getting my chest tattooed!!
Ah how exciting!! Look after you and happy healing ❤️
Congrats! I wish I could get top surgery soon
@@kilianalexander2736you'll get there too!! I had to wait until i was 27, but now the wait seems meaningless in light of the relief i'm feeling. Best of luck to you!!
Congrats!! I hope recovery goes well for you:) i cant wait to get top surgery and get cool tattoos on my chest
Ahhh congratulations! I looking into top surgery right now fingers crossed 🤞
Honestly, you might not want children, but you are already everyone's tattoo mum, and the proof is in the pudding: you tell people to eat well before going, take snacks and beverages, be prepared for sugar and blood pressure drops, be warm and as comfortable as possible, be with trusted people. You even make sure we are all comfortable before the video starts. That's peak "mum of the group" behavior, and it's why I enjoy watching you so much. It's so lovely!

when i got my hand tattooed, the artist free handed it. i didn't love how it looked, but thought i'd see how it was when it was finished. after she drew it on she told me to check it out before spraying it with staying stuff. I checked it out, then asked if she could redraw it in another direction and i'm so glad i did because I liked it much more - it had more flow with my arm and sleeve. (it's seaweed, I have an oceanic arm with seaweed as the filler. all of the seaweed it flowing up my arm but for some reason when she drew it on my hand the first time, she drew it flowing down - it didn't make sense in my mind). anyway, don't be afraid to speak up! i did it at the last moment after she freehanded it - i felt bad but also we were both happier with it after so. no regrets on that one.
also i hate breaks because it always hurts more when they come back - so i don't take them unless the artist needs it.
My mom has been tattooed my whole life, so she actually went with me when I got my first tattoo. I am very fortunate to have supported parents.
Awe I love this!
I have 4 "upside down" tattoos, 2 on either wrist. And i know its a super basic thing to say "im the one whos going to be looking at them all the time so they should be right up for me" but... i AM the person who has them. I love them to bits!
It’s kind of a wild concept. That something on YOUR body is upside down because OTHERS can’t read it.
lol I didn’t even know it was a thing until I was researching for my first tattoo a few years ago
@@brioche8123 tbh, i didn't even know it was a term until i saw a rude tattoo artist calling it their "ick", lol. they can think what they want, its our bodies! ^^
My first tattoo was on the back of my neck. I was driving my grandma to the store and my hair brushed to the side. My grandma snatched me so hard when she saw it I almost crashed the car. Now I’m becoming a tattoo artist and she’s actually kind of happy that I get to do art for a living haha
Story about my first tattoo. Small script on my forearm. Got it right when I turned 18 but hid it from my mom. I went my entire last year of high school without her seeing it. First day on winter break in college and she freaks out when she sees it since I forgot to hide it. It was fun telling her I’ve had it for a year and a half 😆
I know a girl that had two sleeves while living at home with crazy parents and they never found out. She lived there for like 4 years before moving out 😅
15:31 i only understood towards the end of the tattoo, but this is so genius 😂 this is the cover up, it is the tattoo, the artist tattooed the correction notes with red pencil onto them, as if it was in school, also the "see me after class", thats so genius; instead of doing something else as cover up they just scribbled all the correction notes over it as coverup, thats so funny, i love that idea
Girl, when I tell you that my mom was SO disappointed at my first tattoo she literally cried. My first tattoo was an outline of a cat about an inch big
I‘m so glad that my parents are tattood too. That makes that whole „Look I got a tattoo“-thing way more easy for me 😮💨. And even my grandmother likes my few tattoos, even tho she is not tattood by herself. 🙏🏻
First tattoo, I got on my back near my shoulder. A little smoky black cat, since in most cultures they’re considered good luck so I figured it’d be like a permanent good luck charm. Believe it or not, it was actually my mum’s suggestion to get it as an 18th birthday present! 😂
Favourite thing was definitely going back into school after getting it and saying I have a tattoo now. All of my friends’ and classmates’ reactions were priceless. Since I’m considered the quiet, brainy girl in my year at school, I honestly don’t think anyone saw me of all people getting a tattoo. Now looking about getting my third. Absolutely no regrets for the ones I have.
That lady was rocking it! Good for her living her best life and doing things that make her happy. ❤ Obviously that “Sharon” was jealous. She was probably dressed in ochre girls! 😂
My mum was upset because I didn't tell her I was going to a tattoo studio but I asked for her opinion on my ideas beforehand so it was ok with her. My dad said "your body, your choice".
Funny story the day I told my parents was my grandmas 80th birthday and my parents told her and we talked about what I paid for my tattoo and my parents were shocked but my grandma said "well its art that you will have on your body forever, so it was a good deal" haha love her she was so chill about it
I got a tattoo before my son so I couldn’t very well tell him it’s a bad idea.😂😂😂 Of course my husband blames me (all in good fun) for the reason why my son wanted tattoos. My son and I have actually gone several times together to get tattoos. It’s mother/son bonding times.🥰🥰🥰
8:59 "holy hell, it was like wet fire!" my new favorite quote from this channel by far
I love that older person with the chest tattoo and dress 👗! I sometimes struggle with being anxious in public for similar reasons. People have either said rude things in the past or just stared at me, but I've had to work on ignoring and not worrying about what anyone thinks. Not like I'm going to see these ppl again 😎
Mom's reaction to my first tattoo " oh I love it, it's perfect for you" my next 2 tattoos were her idea 😂 I had the coolest mom!! I wish everyone could have been so lucky!
I got my first tattoo at 17 with parent permission so they definitely weren’t surprised but once I turned 18 I went on a big spree and got 10 within 4 months!! I always share my calendar with them so I figured they would check and know what I’m up to and when I’m getting a new tattoo but they have been surprised a couple times since they just forgot 😅 never disappointed though. I’m kind of burnt out now though and haven’t gotten a new one in two months. I have some ideas but am giving my body a break for now
10 are on my arms and 2 are on my legs.
My first tattoo was a matching one with my mom 😊 it's a tradition for all the women in my family to get tattoos at 18 so it was a really sweet day for me
The person who sent their artist their scribbled references cracked me up!! I've done logos where the person sent me phone doodles just like that and it is genuinely SO helpful and I also LOVE showing them their own vision come to life, they get so excited by it. If you're getting any sort of artwork done, whether it be a tattoo or anything else, definitely recommend doing this!
Very accurate. Literally let my artist take breaks. I was giggling during one of my tattoos 😂
Same here. I’ve had my sternum and chest both tattooed (2 hours and 6 hours respectively), no breaks for the first one and only 3 5 min breaks for the second on (for the artist 😂). While my sternum was being done, the artist had a comedy clip playing so I was fighting the urge to laugh the whole time
I'm so thankful for my parents opinion on tattoos. Even tho my mom wouldn't get a tattoo herself, she actually really loves my tattoo and was almost more excited than me when i got it xD
It's always murder to get back to it after you take a break! 😂 Another fun video, Lauren! I hope you're doing well and burp soon! 🫂
The video with the tribal that got the mistakes highlighted in red WAS the real cover up! It was not a fake out! 😂 I thoght this is hilarious!
With the tribal tattoo I can’t tell if they tattooed the corrections on it or not, but I think they did!
i did that tattoo (well i did the red “cover up”) and yes, that is exactly how it happened 😁
When I got my first big visible tattoo (a lion portrait on my forearm ) my mum cried for hours saying omg at your wedding one day it’s gonna be there 🤣 fast forward a couple years I now have two sleeves so she’s over the crying hahahaha
I got my first tattoos last year and my parents were just happy for me! Of course I already knew they were very accepting (they didn’t react badly when my brother got an eyebrow piercing at 18) but it was nice to know that they didn’t mind tattoos either 😄 Now, my mum is even thinking about maybe getting a chest piece (as her first tattoo, no less) after having her breasts removed.
That’s so awesome! If your mom still decides to get a chest piece, please make sure to research specific artists who specialize in mastectomy scaring/ scars in general. Tattooing over scars is extremely difficult, especially with mastectomy scarring as it’s thick tissues and sometimes the ink doesn’t take well. Some who have talents with them know exactly how the ink takes and what may or may not work.
@@brandiehammond Thanks for your concern, I’ll make sure she goes to someone who’s actually qualified! 😊
my mom actually took me to get my first tattoo and helped pay for it as a consolation prize for covid causing me to miss a really important concert! this was after years of her SIGHING every time i mentioned wanting a tattoo so im not sure what changed but im glad it did!
So I was raised by my nan every one of my tattoos has been a different reaction.
I have 8 fairly large tattoos one of which covers the whole top half of my back (top of shoulders to bottom rib) and her reactions have gone from "what have you done to yourself" to not saying anything at all just giving me the death stare 😂
As for the older lady with the chest tattoos, she seems like the loveliest person!!! It's funny how we're seen as horrible rebels of society when the ones shouting abuse are the abusers 😅
I just recently got my first tattoo, a slice of pie with honey drizzled on top (honey pie, get it?) as a memorial piece for my dog.
My parents like it! My dad is considering getting a tattoo as well. My mom actually has quite a few tattoos already so she helped me book the appointment with the artist (who she already knew and has gotten tattooed by) and my dad and older sister went with me to the appointment.
Overall, very positive experience and I can’t wait to get more!
Funny enough, I actually just told my mom that I'm getting my first tattoo in June (my whole upper arm too!). I thought she was gonna try to talk me out of it, but instead she offered to pay for part of it as a birthday gift 😅😂 I was like "...well, I wasnt going to ask, but yeah sure!" lmaoo
Luckily for us my fiance and I grew up in homes that were very tattoo friendly. We were all rock fans, tattoo addicts, motorbike fans, everyone wearing band tee kinda families so when my fiances brother said he wasnt ever getting a tattoo, it was all "why the fudge not?! What is wrong with you? Did we raise you wrong?"
these palm tattoos are insane, love it
I had my first long session about a month ago on a forearm piece I was told would take up to 8 hrs, so I came prepared with snacks, water, movies downloaded (headphones), etc. My artist wanted a break for lunch after about 2 hrs, which I thought was odd but okay, makes sense to eat now if we're done with the outline and ready to power through another 5-6 hrs of shading. Definitely didn't feel great after the 4th hr but again, I came prepared and was ready to go the distance. Around the 6th hour my artist suggests we stop for the day and finish later because he's tired. 🙄 I appreciated his honesty and yeah my skin was happy for the break, but now I have to wait another ~7 weeks to finish the tattoo that was supposed to be done in one day, which is frustrating.
That sucks, but I guess you don't want a tired, grumpy person tattooing you. I'd just be annoyed that the artist didn't clarify from the beginning of the session that they might not get through the whole lot that day. Going from the excitement of getting your whole tattoo done that day to having to wait 7 more weeks must have been so disappointing! It would be different if you knew from the start. I hope the 7 weeks flies by for you :)
@@EmEm78 Thanks! And yeah mostly bummed because I would've rather scheduled two appointments at the start vs having to wait so long for an opening. On the bright side, now I won't need to schedule a separate visit later for a touch up since he can do that when he finishes in a few weeks!
Hi Lauren, got my first tattoo last year in october, my parents still don't know! Their reaction would just be the same as in the tiktok video.
I haven't tapped out but my artist tapped me out. He said he could tell I had enough and that he was unwilling to continue. I love that man, he's my favourite artist I've ever had. He's still my main artist as he actually cares about me and his other clients alot.
My first tattoo(s) were foo dogs on my ribs, which i hid for a few months because of my parents threats to kick me out if i ever got a tattoo. They accused me of deceiving them but were happy it was in a place they couldn’t see lol. Definitely disappointed and upset but they’re coming to terms with it. I didn’t get kicked out either which is a bonus
My dad always somewhat jokingly says "no more tattoos" he knows i will do whatever i want with my body
My brother got my little sisters hand print tattooed on him(she is significantly younger than both of us by 18 and 20 years) and I love it. I personally wouldn't get it but I have a piece she drew a few years back and it is honestly the cutesy tattoo I have
7:43 you are wholesome! I agree with him wholeheartedly, and thankfully you are amazing and kind!
My first (and currently only) tattoo, I told my parents about it when I was thinking of getting it and they didn't care. They said it's not something they'd get but i'm old enough to make decisions and they're not the ones who are paying for it so it doesn't matter. My dad ended up driving me to the studio (it was about an hour drive from where I live) and even waited inside with me for the whole 6 and a half hours! I asked him why later cause I thought he'd leave and come back later and he said he thought I might get nervous (I have issues with anxiety especially around strangers) so he wanted to stay with me anyway. I'm very lucky to have such chill parents.
My first tattoo was a matching one I got with my mom. She loves tattoos and is fully supportive of me getting whatever I want as long as it isn't offensive or something like that.
I have an upside down rose too! Sometimes I feel like I should’ve got it the right way but you having them makes me feel better
My parents paid for my first tattoo at 19, as a birthday gift, and my mom even went with me. My mom also dyed my hair the first few times when I was 14, before I started doing it myself. Neither have tattoos or dyed hair, but they recognized that it’s all pretty harmless. They just made sure I really wanted the tattoo design first.
I recently got my first tattoo and my mom went with me💗she’s very hesitant about tattoos but this one was in honor of her parents so she was very supportive
That last one is so true! I did a tap-out special with my tattoo artist and she took several breaks, I didn't need any. She ended up tapping out after 10 hours. I was still good to go, lol, I wanted to get my sleeve completed.
My mom was ok with the first “few”. After that she wanted me to stop. Another sleeve later and she’s given up, I’m 53 and still getting inked 5:32 5:32 5:32 5:32 . Got a cool Tim Curry silhouette above his 5:32 actual inked signature last week!!! Tatted for life!!! 💚💜💚 love from Canada!!!
15:47 I’m pretty sure the cover up isn’t really a cover up and it is the stuff the artist pointed out. I just noticed that the artist also did everything in a way to make it look like a teacher was grading the tattoo.
yeah, the artist tattooed on the critique which is hilarious
My daughter has 2 tattoos and they're bloody terrible. If she had told me she wanted tattoos I would of taken her to a better artist and payed for them.
Every tattoo I got, my mother took as a personal attack, as if I'd forcefully carved them in HER skin. Knowing I'd have to deal with her anger every time I saw her, made getting tattooed stressful. Knowing I was doing right by MY body and self image, but that it would lead to an argument took some of the joy from the experience. -and I was a fully grown woman with my own family at the time.
Though I miss her, since she's been gone, my tattoo number has shot WAY up.
i got mine done at my 18th birthday and went to the artist my mum went to before, she raised me with tattoos, piercings and hairdye are fun so she was proud tbh
I getting my first tattoos in two weeks and both my parents have helped me decide on designs and placement. They’re so excited
My mum actually went with me to get my first tattoo. She was super supportive.
My parents are honestly extremely supportive when I get tattoos. My mom was actually there with me for my first tattoo and everytime I get a tattoo they want to take a picture and post it online because I draw the tattoos myself since I'm an artist.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT TEACHER MARKUP ON THE BAD TATTOO IS BRILLIANT LMAOOO
I am the Mum that is like, when you get your first tattoo, make sure you do your research, no jobstoppers (not for first ones) and don't forget to eat and take snacks, and I want to come and watch!! My eldest is 14, I am constantly showing him designs, like ooo this is nice!! For a reference pic, when your older enough! 😂
My second tattoo took 6 hours. I had four 10 minute breaks and I think sitting for that long actually hurt more than the tattoo did.
My dad accompanied me to the parlor, interrogated the tattoo artist 😅, then sat there and laughed as I cringed in pain. My mom and dad are cool with all my tattoos and piercings. ❤
my parents have been supportive of every tattoo ive gotten which makes me realise how rare my parents are when it comes to that, im thankful for it
My dad took me to get a tattoo for my medical issue, I’m type one diabetic and every time I got a medical alert bracelet or necklace they always broke. Both of my parents took me about a year later for a touch up 😅😂 I was 16 when I got it and 17 when I got the touch up. Yes it was legal, it was in Idaho.
Even drawing an idea and also writing a brief explanation would steer the artist in the right direction to come up with an interesting image.
Can't relate to the "judgy " parent reaction clip as my mom took me to get my first tattoo and has loved every one I've gotten since. ❤
For me personally, I like to get tattoos done in one session purely because I want to just get it over with. A part of it is because I do need to travel for a tattoo and would rather not have multiple travel dates, but also because I’d be so psyched out from continuing with another session I’d just prefer to suffer for a bit. Obviously, everyone’s different, and I believe if you are shaking like that man with the chest piece you probably should tap, but that’s just my experience!
My dad payed for my tattoo as a Birthday present for my 18th birthday. He doesn't like them for himself but knows I love them so supports me. 😁
Perfect time for lunch, and I absolutely love this series ♡
Have a great lunch!!! ❤️
My mum came and sat with me for my first tattoo so shes v supportive, she took a book with her too read and everything.
Wait the older lady with tattoos ! 😭😭😭we all love you here ! Rude people suck . You know she’s amazing 🥺🥺I would 100 % rather be her friend then some hateful person
My day was immediately made better by your shirt 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
OMG! The take a break thing😂😂 I'm so like that as well,my last tattoo was 6 hours and I only took a break because I had to pee,even my tattoo artist was like: " are you sure you don't want to take a break?"😂😂
My mum paid and came with me for my first tattoo. She was so excited and even helped me design it
The compliments followed with "but what if they get divorced" is so funny SKGKEHWESH.
I'm currently having a few quiet days in with some friends spending the last few days of my dogs life with him before we have to say good bye. He meant a lot to a lot of people. Because I find you comforting i put your tiktok series up on the TV and your jokes, interesting chatter and kindness have been a welcome conversation topic for everyone here. Thankyou for your videos Treacle. I know it can be stressful being a YTer but I just wanted to say thankyou for your content. It's helped me right now more than I can say.
Randomly remembered two things someone I use to know told me involving tattoos. They knew someone who got an upside down cross on the their lower inside arm, the reasoning being so when they held their arm up to look at it in times of need, it would be facing the right way. I liked the part where they told their preacher it's not like God's love drains out the top like luck from an upside down horseshoe. The other story was they wanted a tattoo of their cat and someone wouldn't do it because they were terrified of cats.
When I turned 18 my dad paid for my first tattoo and went to the studio with me haha. My mum is fine with it too. They both have quite a few tatts themselves as well.
My grandparents motherless said everyone would think I'm a bad mum and no good man would marry me. Lol, i married a tattoo artist and they LOVE HIM. Oh, and my grandma makes me show off my leg with her and my grandpa's portraits all the time. So in short they kind of love them 😆
My mom has tattoos, (one in the finger since i was born) and always had family friends and met people with a lot of tattoos, even tattoos artists. So once at 19 years old i was going to get a nose piercing and she said “ ohhh get a tattoo instead 😅”. Now at 23 i have at least 15 tattoos and the first ones she loved, them she (and my father) just commented that i was going to look live a children book full of ilustration and i said “ that would be amazing” 😂. But now they just dont even comment just say like , oh i really like that type of ilustration, oh so cute, oh thats more scary. They like my tattoos , and i love seeing my self with tattoos, and i think they are happy to see my autistic joy every time i look at my self in the mirror with an outfit that i like with all my tattoos, i get so so happy.
That ‘mum I got a tattoo’ one was so funny. 😂
My mom took me to my first tattoo, a drop in at a music event in town :D I love it! It's on the underside of my lower arm
I'm going to get my first tattoo this week and my mum was really excited when I told her ❤
My mom went with for my first tattoo and we got sort of matching ones. And my dad doesn’t really care. I’m only at 11 right now but they could care less, and I’m really grateful for that.
I was thankful enough that by the time I got my first tattoo my brother had already gotten the bottom half of a sleeve and some others. My mom was just wanted to make sure that the tattoo was something I really wanted but she has been so great even though when we were little she was so against us getting them.
I am currently getting my hand tattoo removed so I really agree with your point of 'don't be blasé with hand tattoos'. The tattoo appointment went however it went and I left thinking I would just fall in love with the tattoo more so but honestly within a week I was looking up how and when I could start the removal process. If it was on my leg or arm I don't think I would have cared as much but yes: you need to be super sure with your hand tattoos.
P.S. Because of the tattoo removal process my official advice to anyone thinking of tattoos is now to not get one 😂
my mother knew i was getting my first tattoo, its on my left outer forearm- she still cried about it, wasn't disappointed or anything but "my baby!"
I’m exactly the same! I only take breaks to go to the bathroom and when I have a 5 hour tattoo session we do a little break to have some food. Though it’s always worse getting tattooed after the break I just have to eat something, otherwise I get cranky!!😂
I think I got really lucky with my mother 😊 she is pretty heavily tattooed herself .. when I turned 18 she gifted me my first tattoo by her regular artist❤
My mom got me my first tattoo as an 18th birthday gift! 💞 so sweet
My mom was excited for me when I got my first tattoo, which is small rose on my wrist. She has a tattoo herself, which is a crescent moon in an intricate design on her lower back. She got it when she was 19, and it was a terrible experience because the tattoo artist was drilling into her lower back. The tattoo now is terribly raised and scarred. We want to get a matching tattoo, but she is still nervous about it, I had to let her know that the tattoo artist that scarred her (physically and mentally) was probably new and had no clue what the hell he was doing and that not every experience will be like that, that it was just one bad one and tattooing isnt normally like that. I have four tattoos now, the fourth one is still in work (11 hours in, three sessions down), and my mom has been excited, enthusiastic, and encouraging for all of them. Whenever she looks at them after my appointments she shivers and says my name in an concerning way picturing the pain, shes very squeamish
My parents reacted to my first tattoo by asking me if it hurt, then scheduling and getting their first tattoos. Earlier this year, I got a matching tattoo with my mom and a matching tattoo with my dad.
My mom didn't even blink at my first tattoo. She seemed surprised that I didn't get one sooner. My septum ring on the other hand, full first, middle, and last names came out
My first tattoo was a matching tattoo with my mom! So she was very excited!
My parents paid for my first tattoo, they love both of my tattoos, and lovee hearing about my ideas for next tattoos.
my first tattoo my dad and stepdad went with me and got their own tattoos 😂 i don’t remember my moms reaction but she knew i’d been wanting tattoos since i was in high school so she wasn’t shocked
My mom was the first one in our family to get a tattoo a few years ago, so it really wasn't a problem when I got mine ^^ She even liked the design, though I didn't think she would, it's a biblically accurate angel xD
My first tattoo was a little dinosaur on my ankle that I got quite impulsive with my best friend so my parents only got to know about it when I showed it to them. They were a little surprised and didn‘t believe me it was real at first but then they just said it looks cute and were really nice about it. Now I‘m going to get a bigger tattoo in friday, it‘s planned to take 7h and will be the birth flowers of me and my family on my underarm, I‘m really excited☺️
