the cup RM throws in the Run MV Basically what he’s saying is don’t get tattoos to impress other people as some people will love them and others will hate them, get what ever tattoos you want but do it for your self not for anyone else.

[@catdaddy294]

I'm fairly fortunate that the first the tattoo I got (Takes up my whole right forearm) was actually really well appreciated and adored by people around me. I don't know if that's common, but I do know that there are people out there who don't like tattoos at all and will actively shoot you down if they see a tattoo. And like you said, it doesn't matter what they think. So long as you love it, you rock it.

apparently works well for the shakes as wells, when i got my first i shook like crazy figuring it was the adrenaline but 3 sleeves later i finally went to get my neck and it happened again non stop twitching. could be i did my arms and legs myself and was more comfortable or i didnt eat before getting my neck. so if you get the shakes try eating or drinkin a sugary drink beforehand.

I have always wanted a tattoo, but it was drilled into me when I was little how permanent it was and was discouraged against ever getting one. I’m at the point in my life where I just want beauty in whatever way I can get it. Sometimes overthinking it can be just as harmful as being impulsive.

[@SubwayBrat]

Yeah, my mum didn't get her first tattoo till she was in her 50s due to overthinking it and other people's influence... She definitely would've wanted to get it done when she was younger and more willing to show it off to people. ♥️

Everyone should stop hating on this sort of content. As someone who's into menswear and streetwear, and has a full sleeve, I think its important take these sort of things into consideration. We should appreciate this channel expanding their content, and it's a shame how conservatively many of Ashley's followers think about personal style and self expression - If you don't want a tattoo, don't get one.

[@LaMereACaniche]

I have two sleeves, don't mind the morons.

[@jorge31415927]

My mom passed away on May 31, 2020. She went through alot of pain the last 6 months of her life. She said I was her lion because I fought with her every step of the way. She never wanted me to have a tattoo so I respected her. Now I want something symbolic in my forearm (perhaps a lion head with crown tattoo) and I WANT to feel the pain as a sort of “rite of passage”. Two kinds of pain (from the Equalizer movie).. pain that hurts and pain that alters. Pain that alters represents a painful difficult event or process that helps you become better. In this case, the pain is worth it.

[@jessm9811]

Does your first tattoo need to have a meaning? Personally I don’t think a tattoo needs a meaning you just need to like the image.

[@XavierPrice]

i agree with you. i feel like if the art is strong a piece can be worn with pride without any deep meaning. But for some people they need some deep rooted meaning to justify wearing the piece for the rest of their lives.

[@meaganhenry9506]

Jess McGrath I feel the same way too.

[@xlupussolusx8917]

I have 6 tattoos none have any meaning but I do want my first tattoo covered up due to it looking stupid now I had it done it when I was 16 and need my next I had done at 17 that could probably do with some re work 😂

[@bomethia7412]

Jess McGrath My first tattoo is going to be a suicidal remembrance tattoo, but after that I’m getting three random ones that my trusted family members are picking (within reason, aka no crazy shit lmao) and my nieces and nephews get to pick one.

[@saracuty19]

None of your tattoos actually need to have a meaning :) As long as you're sure of what you want, go for it! I've had a general idea of a few tattoos I wanted and waited a year (maybe a little long but I couldn't afford it at the time). By then, I was absolutely sure of what I wanted! It doesn't really have any meaning, but I'm totally in love with it :)

Just subscribed. Watched your interview on Gentalman's Gazette. Great video. A retired sailor with 30+ years in the Navy and zero Tattoos. Been to many a parlor around the world, watched many friends get tattoo's, just not for me. That said, I do want to mention that really thinking about getting your first is very very important. Twelve years ago I lost my wife, thought about a memorial tattoo at the time. I asked several of my tattooed friends, all of them said wait, my best friend said wait five years, if you still feel the need then get one. I didn't have to wait those five. Life events shortened that period. I met my current wife about a year later. So glad I didn't get that tattoo.

The first time I decided I wanted a tattoo it was cause one of my friends came into class and showed of a sleeve he was working on and I was amazed by it, I started asking how much it hurt and long it took, a year later I started thinking of a design, after two years I started pestering my parents about getting one and finally three years later see’s me with a totom style dragon with a blood moon backround on my shoulder and showing of my favourite birthday present of all time

[@selenaforever12]

My husband and I each have a tattoo, not the same one or each other's name or anything but something that really meant to each of us, when I see my husband tat, my heart just melts, I'm filled with joy and love about it because it means soo much to him and mine he tells me that it just brings him to tears when he thinks about how happy it makes me, like when I look down on it and the huge smile takes his breathe away. Our tats means soo much to the both of us and I couldn't be more happy about what we share. My dad was against it but I over 18 and it's my body. So yeah that what I told him.

[@lordlucan7655]

nice video about something that falls into a very broad fashion spectrum. i would always offer the following advice to people : firstly don’t get something that someone else has , a tattoo that is original , personal and maybe very emotional will bring you joy for the rest of your life ... second be aware that social / professional issues may arise in the future and third be aware that a good tattoo artist won’t be cheap so don’t haggle .... My multiple tattoos relate to life , regiment , family and personal spiritual ties , they tell a story much like aboriginal art .. all can be hidden under my professional suit and tie , or long sleeve shirt if I feel the venue or clients demand discretion . I regret none of them because they are part of me rather than me living up to image of them ..

What happened in the last hour

Nothing bad happened. The skin starts to get really sore after so many hours of tattooing. And when the artist wipes down the ink, the wipes start to hurt more too. 6 hours of getting tattooed is really tough.

I'm going for a consultation to get my first professional tattoo. I have two, one on each ankle from when I was a teen. One I did myself, the other that was done in a basement an paid for with weed. I'm so glad I got them on my ankles. I'm also really glad I never had the resources to get the tattoos that I wanted when I was younger. I'm 28. I love tattoos and always wanted a more visible one. I really admire my artist's work. She does fine lines and stippling. I've been nervous because I haven't met her yet and I was worried I didn't have enough reference pics, but this really chilled me out about it. Especially because she is known for her black and grey flowers, which is the element in my tattoo that I don't have an exact reference picture for, just pictures of the flower to explain what I want.. But since I like her flowers, I think it will work out.

[@monicaheartsgypsy7877]

Lol, yeah I was super nervous for no reason, it went fine. My tattoo appointment isn't for another 2 months though because my artist is getting surgery this month.

Question. I have one leg that has varicose veins. I thought about getting a tattoo to cover them in the front of me lower leg and shin. Would you recommend this? It would be my first tattoo . I would rather see flowers than veins

[@debangarajchoudhury1409]

You should get a surgery for varicose veins first. Then get a tattoo.

I have various pain/discomfort in my body and my main concern for my next tatt is how do I stay comfortable for 3 hours. It will be inside forearm and i'm more worried about staying still when my hip or leg starts hurting from sitting in the same position for too long. Hoping to keep my arm fidget free too.. Any tips?

[@theertern]

Tremadol darling. Works like magic

I’ve been thinking about getting a tattoo for two years my dad hates them so I have to hide it from him and I already paid the appointment fee and I’m getting it tomorrow

Im planning on drawing out my tattoo for when I'm 18, it's going to be inspired by lillths siren tattoos from borderlands 2 and my dad though of a good idea of getting body paint and after I drew it out to paint it on my body so I can see what it will look like and adjust it if j wanted to

[@kaylamiller3069]

I’m getting one Saturday and I wanted to make sure it wasn’t rude to wear headphones. I’m not very talkative so I was going to just watch a movie or something to distract from the pain but I wasn’t sure if wearing even one headphone would be considered rude to the artist.

[@megamoneyDo]

I clicked on this video to read comments destroying Romeo and there are NONE! I’m devastated.

[@SuGaRlOvErCaNdY]

Wait why

[@brianadhd]

Im gonna get my firts motörhead and ozzy tattoo in two weeks cant wait

[@RealMetalJay]

Tomorrow I'm getting my first tattoo. I've had this exact same idea for 4 years now so I'm excited. I'm an artist so I took to my sketchbook and drew it out and I'm going to take it in to show them so I'm not trying to explain what I'm wanting. Idk if people bring in their own art a lot but

[@RealMetalJay]

@Ginna Coelho it went well!! My artist was super chill and I'm already planning my next one lol. It's just a small tattoo on my wrist with that says mom, and the O is a cancer ribbon. I really love it

[@ricky71787]

I got a longhorn tattoo on my ankle after a drunk night. I don’t even remember getting it 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@maymarshall8800]

‘think it through’ i got ‘ket’ on my hip and did it myself like 20 mins ago

[@alexander_yoko]

Thank u so much! ❤

[@kimp.dr.n2652]

I'm totally starting research for my first tattoo and its scar related

[@Black-yd3pg]

I need an advice if i should continue having a tattoo in my forearm, i'm quite worried as i am skinny as hell and my veins are so easy to see. just worried that my veins might be hit when i get tattooed.

[@stupidinkgirl9609]

Same tbh

[@alexdinghoor1437]

No you’re gonna be fine I’m skinny too and I’m getting a half sleeve next month the tattoo artist said it’s gonna be fine and the needle only goes in the second layer of your skin it doesn’t go much deep to make you bleed out badly

[@emilysheppard478]

Getting my first tattoo in a couple weeks. I'm super excited and been thinking about what I want for about 6 months (no kidding)... just a little scared about the pain. I've had people tell me it just feels like a cat or dog scratching you, is it true? Or is the pain worse?

[@caitlynquade8232]

Emily Sheppard mine didn’t hurt at all, honestly just depends on the area

[@MissRosesTuneGarden]

What a coincidence! My first "tattoo" was a heart stick and poke and I want to get it covered up in red ink tomorrow:)

[@CY3ER]

Been waiting to get tattoo's for 8 years now, should be getting my first one this October.
