Beans Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Contain the excitement pre tattoo? Hi all, My name is Nina and I'm so happy to fianlly be here. I'm a bit of a weirdo, so I've been planing my double 3/4 sleeve tattoos for about 23 years now. Sounds extreme but that's how I roll :). Actually, I have (with much pain) purposefully kept virgin skin for THIS one endeavor. Unfortunately severe health issues took over my 20's, paying off said medical bills took over my 30's. So now at 43, I have the health, time and money for a great artists. My first sitting is April 10th and I can hardly concentrate on ANYthing else. I am obsessed now that MY time is finally here. Lucky me! Any ways, thanks for listening to my newbie babble. Hands On, Patrick Bateman, SeeSea and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6058-how-do-you/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacitapproval Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Congrats and welcome! Glad to hear you're finally getting to it. Who are you getting them done by? As for containing excitement, I tend to go the opposite way. I just look at more tattoos and stoke my pre-appointment fires. Containment be damned!

knucklehead211 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 It's hard for me now, I used to shout it from the mountaintops when I worked in retail (we could wear anything, as long as it wasn't obscene), but now in security, I'm a bit more guarded. When I took the time off for my sleeve coming up, I just said I had "an appointment" lol!

Patrick Bateman Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Welcome @Beans I feel you on the excitement. Usually I get sleepless nights the first few days of getting that email confirming my appointment.

OutOfIdeas Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Try breaking the ice with a smaller, random, off the wall flash tattoo. That'll help ;) Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6058-how-do-you/#findComment-111088 Share on other sites More sharing options...
