Had the tattoo just now, took about one hour.
Woke up. Had some toast, then my meds, then some cerial, then a breakfast bar, then sipped on non fizzy energy drink all through the session.
No dizziness or anything unusual.
Will post pics of tattoo later 🙂
You've got this, piece of cake.
I was taught several years ago the technique of "belly breathing". On the inhale you push your stomach outward fully. The idea being that your diaphragm drops further, pulling air more deeply into your lungs. It seems odd at first, but is easy to get the hang of. It really helps relieve stress. Do it slowly, concentrating on each breathe.
Good luck! 👍
Right. Good application will provide lasting results.
Many feel that over long periods of time that the style (even when done well) has a higher potential for becoming less discernible just because there is no outline to "hold it together".
Got my next one tomorrow, will be a bigger piece.
Early night, big bowl of cerial, few breakfast bars, and sip on an energy drink before and during. Most importantly deep breathing.
Hope it goes ok
A tattoo take 4-6 weeks to heal. You won't know what it's going to look like until then. NO tattoo is perfect. If you go over it with a microscope you'll find things "wrong" with it and make yourself miserable. Look at the big picture when looking at your tattoos. It looks good to me.
