I was expecting a five hour session for my most recent tattoo on my forearm, but my artist was still going after ten because of the amount of detail she was adding. I had to tell her to stop because I couldn't take the pain anymore. I went back later to get it finished and it took another five hours - mainly on my elbow. It was my tenth tattoo and I like to think I'm a good client, but ten hours non stop and then another five on my elbow made me a bit whingey on both occasions. It's a badass tattoo, but I'm very glad I don't have any more room on my arms and no desire to have tattoos anywhere else on my body. No more pain!
I would love to see Katya on this show for an in-depth look at all her tattoos, and Trixie go home to Wisconsin to do a Best of the Worst with RedLetterMedia.
I had really bad panic attacks before starting getting tattooed so for my first session I was super nervous I was going to have to run away so I researched a lot of how to deal with them. And by far the best advise I came across is to 'lean into' the pain. Like when it starts and it hurts you think 'I need to distract myself' but that makes it hurt so much more. Instead when I focus on the needle and what its doing it instead becomes really calming and satisfying. It's really hard to explain but say if you've ever lifted weights if you think 'lets just get this over with' it's hard and tiresome. But if you think ' I want to feel my muscles tearing apart so they can build back' it becomes satisfying and nice.
thats interesting. that contrasts with my own experience. during one of my tattoos i was just sitting in silence staring at the wall and it hurt, then I started talking to my artist and it hurt less while my mind was off it
I knew this tattoo artist, covered in sleeves, old school biker type ... afraid of needles. He was a total bad ass who cried like a baby for every one of his 27 tats. He had to work himself up, shaky voice, clammy hands, etc.. once he was In the chair, he just sat still with a constipated face, and tears slowly coming out, looking traumatized. Once it was over, it was like a sacred experience, and through all that pain and fear in his eyes, he honestly says he had a blast. Prior to the tattoo: He's acting like H. Bob from SLC Punks "I hate needles, man". After the tattoo: That's what fun looks like to me... Haha, he said the fear and the pain made him stay present, as a form of meditation. He had a straight-up phobia of needles, which is why he started getting tattoos. Then he started doing his own tats and his friends tats, which began because whenever he was dealing with a real problem that caused fear or uncertainty, he would get a tattoo to counteract that fear, and while in the 'hot seat', he sits there and cries, but 'takes it' -- put his mind to rest, because he can only concentrate on the needle and the pain, but the moment it's done and he sees his new artwork, it's like in that moment he would just KNOW what to do about his other problems or fears at the time.
For me and my artist I think she has learned when she has me talking about something I care about it makes me focus on the conversation instead of the pain. I have gone twice as long as I ever thought I could because of our deep conversations
Recently got a fully colored tattoo, I’ve only gotten fine line and black work previously, and I didn’t realize how unprepared I was for the pain. I was gripping the chair it was so painful. But what got me through it was how much an unfinished piece would suck, and how I just needed to get through it and I’ll have this on my body forever. Never had a session that was incredibly long, and the pain really sucks when you’re there. But remember, the pain is temporary, the art is forever.
No, the art fades and I stayed out of the sun completely because I'm fair skinned and did have some small areas that were pre cancerous on my face. My tattoo is now very faded and he did a very heavy black outline which should have lasted. It's now about 28 years old.
I got my first one this september, got the forearm covered in a 8 hour sitting. Tried to move & and complain as little as possible, I was just thinking about how I could make my tattoo worse by stressing out my artist. So with that as my mantra, also "I chose this, bear with it".
Seems a lot like knowing what to expect so that makes it harder for them to sit through it. Reminds me of my step-dad, he was a crew chief in the air force, and he cannot stand being on planes sober now because he knows every little thing that's happening, but can't do a damn thing.
"Teachers are the worst students" I think everyone in their own specialized industry has bad habits that we hate in our clients. More of the "do what I say, not what I do" approach 🤣
Some days you're on, some days you're not. I sat through the inside of my bicep getting done no problem. 2 weeks later I got a hip piece and my soul was hurting by the end I could barely sit through it.
I desperately want to know how much it hurts to be tattooed. I can't get a tat because I'm on immune system suppressors since I'm a transplant recipient, but I've been told I have abnormal pain tolerance. I mean, when I was sick, I'd sit with no painkillers or localized anesthetics/numbing cream while a nurse stuck a massive needle through my abdomen until it hit the fluid in my guts and drained it out for an hour twice a week, and it felt wonderful (the release of pressure is so worth the body horror of feeling and watching that huge needle impale you, not to mention the bloody ooze that leaks out the rest of the day!). I crushed my first lumbar vertebra into oblivion and didn't go to a physician for days because I figured I overstretched a muscle. I got half my face stitched back together after a workplace injury and was cool with sitting there while a very nice (and skilled!) nurse put me back together just sitting in a chair in an ER room with some acetominophen and topical cream. I thought I was going to need actual plastic surgery for that one, but Holy snap was she good at her job. I sent that bitch a bouquet of fruit dipped in chocolate. Bitches love fruit dipped in chocolate. Also multiorgan failure and a liver transplant and associated trauma for four years, but that wasn't much to speak of and is pretty common. If it hurts more than that, I want to experience it because I'm sensation-seeking and stupid. I'm just so curious. 😂
It all honestly depends on where you get your tattoo. My upper arm was easy and at some points in the arm I couldnt even feel it. The inner arm was hell for me, probably a 9/10, my chest was a 10/10, Wrist is 8/10. Surprisingly my hands didnt hurt that much at all. It was like a 4-5/10. Overall, every tattoo I get I always wonder why Im getting one during the session, but Im always coming back after so hopefully that answers. Its bearable pain, but painful nonetheless
It's a different kind of pain then what you've experienced. The severity also depends on the area. I got in a car accident and had to have 10 staples in my head. Doctor was in a rush and didn't give me any anesthesia. They hurt so fucken much but only for a second. Hands were bad but I didn't start flinching until the 3rd hour. So I guess it really just depends.
As someone with chronic pain not terribly painful it kind of feels like getting a bunch of cat scratches. The thing is it's hard to ignore what's going on or tune it out because it's constantly changing. I don't have anything with full color or over bone so I assume that would be worse
I'm not a tattooer, but I can draw therefore I'm very picky and no matter how many times I check there's always a missing line or some details the tattooer forgot but you only notice when it's healed
Idk if its me but as a I get older tattoos hurt way more and I am only 26. I have both my arms, hands, and my full chest but I cant finish one side of my chest LOL. I got the other side of my chest done when I was 16 and sat through that easily but when I did the other side of my chest last year I cant even finish it. Good thing my artist works enough where he makes it look "semi" done so when ppl see it it doesnt look like an unfinished piece lol. It just lacks more depth and detail. I feel like my pain tolerance is much lower than I was 16. I was an animal at 16 LOL. Staying up until 6am hanging out with friends and getting tattooed and now I cant even sit past 3 hours for a tattoo session
Well that and your pain tolerance just naturally drops and your skin gets thinner and thinner. Getting tattooed at 21 was nothing, getting tattooed at 30 fuckin SUCKS.
Got my left leg halfsleeve finished a month ago; learned the fun way that i guess when i lay on my stomach for 5 hours my knee locks up and i manually had to shake my thigh for my knee to unlock, that shit hurt more than the back of my calf getting blasted all night haha & i turned 30 in june
OMG the whole thing about getting older and the pain being worse! i thought that was just me x,x. I sat through 8 hours once on a leg piece when i was in my early 20s - no numbing spray. my most recent one at 33 took 2 hours and i needed numbing spray right away. i was in SO much pain
I just got a dragon sleeve on the back of my left leg. So from my butt check to my ankle. Under butt, knee ditch & ankle had me seriously sweating in the chair. I’m 37 & I can sit for a while. But that day dude, I was done. It took 3, 4 hour sessions. I can’t sit longer than 4 hours. Anything over that I’m whining & swearing lol & I have my neck both arms/legs & full back done
I put in headphones, load up a podcast/playlist and stay dead silent unless the artist talks to me directly , all while sipping water during breaks LMAO
If you get all of your tattoos done when you’re young, you will choose dumb tattoos or a bad artist, but can sit well. When you get tattooed later in life, you choose good artists, get nice tattoos, but can’t sit for a full day session. 😂😂
I think I am really good because literally I got my fingers tattooed all 8 in one straight sitting 5 hours and after the first 4, I just clocked out mentally, I just put my headphones in full blast and put my head on the table with my arm as a pillow.. I just stayed like that for the remaining 2 hours... Funny thing, another of the tattoo artist came to me to poke me on the shoulder, because they thought I passed out or died but truth is, I was just trying not to move and focus on the music I was blasting and not the pain...
Not a tattoo artist but recently got my second biggest piece after about a 25 year period between pieces. My artist finished the first session in 2 hours but honestly, I just wanted him to continue. After having a deep dental cleaning without numbing recently, I could have happily sat through 4x as much. Especially since the itchiness during healing bothers me more so I’d prefer to not do that twice for each section honestly. Especially since my entire arm is getting done in total. But the artist prefers to divide and conquer for his own wellbeing and I picked him for a reason. So no point in messing with his process.
I agree with the older I get the more it hurts, like I got a sharpedo tattooed in my armpit, didn't realize how bad it was gonna be, and no one thought to warn me. I was dumb.
I'm curious how many artists do their own tattoos. Obviously it's impossible to do them all yourself, but for instance leg tattoos would be easy(?) To self inflict?
i got my chest blasted when i was 19-20 and sat through two sessions sweaty but not miserable. i absolutely dread any ink these days, it’s insane how much worse it’s gotten for me lol
I don't quite get the 'earn' your tattoos mindset. My artist puts on their site 'this is the numbing cream I recommend' and detailed application and timing instructions. Works great. I'm working on my second tattoo which is a fairly large piece on my back and both it and my first are full color and it's really not that bad - for me. Like sure it's not NICE but depending on the location some of it honestly just tickles for me, and some places it feels a bit like dental work or burny but it's not like... much of anything? I've had WAY worse cramps than anything with my ink so far. I was nervous before my first tatttoo cause I'd read so many horror stories about passing out, puking, etc but then it was fine and really fun actually. Maybe I'll change my mind as I keep filling in my back! I'm 30 so not young enough to benefit from being 'young' but also not 'old' so *shrug* I do enjoy the tattooing process it feels very like... present? Like meditation like almost. The vibe of my artist's shop and the music played there contributes to that, too, though.
They "hurt more" because people become less rough. When you're younger you're running around bouncing your skull on everything, when you're older you avoid any possible injury. I still live rough.
I had my first few tattoo which took 2-3 hours to get and I thought those were absolutely nothing but then I had one that was over 6 hours and ya i realised that shit gets rough real quick XD
I’m not a tattoo artist. Wanted to give my two cents. When I started getting sections of either leg tatted for a sleeve. If you aren’t flexible enough?! Your whole body is going to feel it! The after 6 hour mark of sandpaper wiping and contorting your body to abnormal positions is a triathlon. No amount of break is going to give you ease. The less you do the better. Your tattoo artist is also feeling it. Numbing spray goes out the window as windex should be sprayed on. The top part of the body is just pain and not discomfort lol.
After 25 I don't enjoy getting tattooed anymore. It's really just not moving for that long. Got my whole calf blasted at 30. My back killed more than my leg.
i was breathing like i became a baby last time 😂 its getting worse every god damn time!!! i am happy if i finished my full body project i just want to tattoo other ppl then and don’t geht the pain anymore 😂😂😂
I’m 36 and have a nice 6 hour sesh on both my hips coming up. I’ll set just fine. But like 60% of my bodies done anyway so. All of the hard spots are done🤷♂️
I am a tattoo artist and I normally sit very well, I actually sleep most of the times, but 2 tattoos have been hell, like vomiting hell. I have never used numbing cream.
I think I got nerve damage listening to them talk how much it hurts.. I got my scalp tattooed and my artist taught I passed out cus I was lying still like a corpse, but I was chillin haha
I was expecting a five hour session for my most recent tattoo on my forearm, but my artist was still going after ten because of the amount of detail she was adding. I had to tell her to stop because I couldn't take the pain anymore. I went back later to get it finished and it took another five hours - mainly on my elbow.

this! idk why but the pain is often quite rhythmic and I just focus on that

The after 6 hour mark of sandpaper wiping and contorting your body to abnormal positions is a triathlon. No amount of break is going to give you ease. The less you do the better. Your tattoo artist is also feeling it. Numbing spray goes out the window as windex should be sprayed on. The top part of the body is just pain and not discomfort lol.
Me being a doctor and being shit scared of getting blood tests.
After 25 I don't enjoy getting tattooed anymore. It's really just not moving for that long. Got my whole calf blasted at 30. My back killed more than my leg.
i was breathing like i became a baby last time 😂 its getting worse every god damn time!!! i am happy if i finished my full body project i just want to tattoo other ppl then and don’t geht the pain anymore 😂😂😂
I’m 36 and have a nice 6 hour sesh on both my hips coming up. I’ll set just fine. But like 60% of my bodies done anyway so. All of the hard spots are done🤷♂️
"Getting tattoos hurts more the older you get." I guess that's the upside of getting your first tattoo in your 40s like me. Lol
Shiii I always vape when I get a tat lmao, just need some niccy
Soooooo get all my tattoos before I turn 30? Got it👌
Note to self. Get all tattoos when I’m young
3:22 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
so what i learned today is basically….i need to get all my tattoos from 20-35 😂
I fell asleep for a couple of my tats

If your not a good client, what should any of your clients be?
Man with the cap look like Ragnar Lothbrok
I am a tattoo artist and I normally sit very well, I actually sleep most of the times, but 2 tattoos have been hell, like vomiting hell. I have never used numbing cream.
Where were the vomit inducing ones?
@@allana1997 the first in my calf and the other one on my tigh, I have both calves tattooed but only one hurt
@@PrincessNebbia that’s so strange only one hurt!
@@allana1997 I thought so too, but they were made by differ3nt artists in different styles.
lolol and I started when I was 50... I shoulda started a lot earlier!
Now I need to see her boyfriend.
no we are not
Hahahaha. No. I’m probably the worst client ever. CPTSD. Lol. Sux.
Wait... Numbing cream?
Is interesting that after watching all the videos of them complaining about their client’s behaviors,they are all just the same 😂
Some of these artists are really throwing themselves under the bus. Not the flex u think it is that u get drunk before
It’s weird that you see it as a flex
@@wienersmcbutts … did you just reply to me saying “not a flex” by saying it’s weird I see it as a flex? Did u read the comment ?
TRIXIE AND KATYA SHOUTOUT LETS GOOOOOOOOO
