As a tattooer this is my worst fear! We can’t always tell what you’re thinking, speak up! I know some tattooers are judgy assholes but you need to advocate for yourself! I’d much rather my client change their mind and tell me than have me work on and complete a piece that they’re not happy with

[@jsjsjsjjdkbbddd]

It’s not even that she changed her mind but more that she felt pressured to change her original choice

[@ethanw5231]

I mean this in the nicest way possible. No one cares why you got cherries tattooed on you and nobody is judging you for it. They’re cute and that’s it.

[@bambisbluebell]

Just for everyone who's planning on getting a tattoo: THEY ARE PERMANENT. I know that seems obvious, like duh, but do not get one on the spot or let yourself be talked into getting one. You want something you will love for the rest of your life, so do not be afraid to turn the artist down or say stop. Coming from someone who hates a part of their tattoo because they were afraid to say stop. It's YOUR tattoo and it's PERMANENT. Just keep that in mind!

[@trishafilm]

Some years ago I had gotten a tattoo coz I couldn't say no. Got it lasered last month and now I'm never gonna get flash tattoos .

[@bambisbluebell]

@@trishafilm Mine isn't so bad I need to get lasered, but he ruined my favorite part because I didn't explain enough and when he went for the wrong part I didn't stop him. It is still gorgeous and I'm glad I didn't have to go through getting it lasered but I still look down sometimes and I think about how pretty it was before and how much he ruined it and how I let him. It really sucks. I'm sorry that you had to have yours lasered 🤧

[@trishafilm]

@@bambisbluebell oh , u don't have to be sorry. I'm just sad that I didn't speak up then

[@bambisbluebell]

@Makayla Yeah I've heard it's not even really effective I'm sure it sucks 🤧

Hey! Don’t be so hard on yourself. Cherries are good! ❤😂

[@Crysolaa]

🚩 on the tattoo artist, get the tattoo you want and don't let yourself get bullied into picking something you don't want 💓💓

[@isabelleswanson4694]

it’s not entirely meaningless! it’s definitely a story to tell and it’s something you did on a whim while having fun :)

[@no-zy7bv]

How can you be a people pleaser when it comes to something that will permanently be on your body? You gotta speak up and advocate for what you want girl!

[@AnxiousAlien...]

💯💯💯

[@vashti2389]

It's a learning experience. Tell everyone who asks the truth about it. You'll save at least one other person from this kind of mistake.

[@trilikxx]

“i just- .. it just- the cherries are very questionable-..” 😭😭

[@someundeadtalent2016]

Honestly, if you think about it, it now has a meaning - to not let others change your mind, and do what YOU wanna do :)

[@_watulove_]

Get it removed girl! You should be able to speak for yourself, don’t let people guilt trip you!❤

[@LittleArtistPossum]

Cherry tattoos can mean innocence, chastity, virtue, virginity, purity, or love, and I think it's a pretty cute tattoo!

[@Simply_coco]

Don’t let anyone let you doubt yourself!! It’s your choice even when they put you on the spot

[@kiraroyalehigh1914]

*the tattoo artist watching this rn*

[@Em-zd5zq]

I work in a tattoo salon and you would be surprise how many artist are so rude, making people feel bad for changing the tattoo placement or asking for a slight change in the design. I know some that just straight up call clients annoying and that they don't know what they really want wich really upset me. Pick ur artist wisely and make sure you feel respected !

[@itscc2004]

I had a walk in yesterday where I got my first tattoo and the artist was a SAINT! I’m definitely going to go back to her for my second tattoo because she didn’t judge me for what I wanted, she was SUPER sweet about EVERYTHING, and did and overall amazing job! I hope more artists out there stop telling people where and where they don’t want a tattoo! Research is important and always find an artist you can trust!

[@cam0201]

Tattoo removal usually costs $200 to $500 per session, so max, you probably spend $1500 to get it removed. Or you could get it covered up for a lot less.

[@hannah-bz7ej]

girl that tattoo is so cute you shouldn't regret it

[@Hiya799]

They still look really pretty! If you didn’t say you hated it no one would know ❤

[@victoriapozniak2351]

To be a people pleaser to this extent can’t be healthy for anybody you literally sacrificed your own skin for some stranger you will never see again, honestly I’m heartbroken for you 😔💔

[@b.bubblybi]

flowers would’ve been so cute with the butterflies. i can’t believe you let that person gaslight you like that 😭

[@Kayla_Kimbrell]

Always speak up. Specially being on something that is forever. Don't let anyone even a professional tattoo artist make you question what you want. It's ok to hear their opinion but don't let them change your mind for you. Even if it seems like the weirdest or craziest or even ugliest thing to them, it's not their taste or body or tattoo, it's yours. On my first tattoo I told the artist I wanted it small. I had to make him shrink my art like 4 times and I know I got on his nerves but it's my money, my body, my tattoo. He kept telling me "you know the price will be the same right? Even if you go smaller the price won't get smaller." I knew this and price had nothing to do with it. It was the proportion of the tattoo size to my body and body part. Lol I'm a small person and it just didn't look right to me to have a huge piece on the back of my shoulder (it was literally just an outlined sun and moon, no color, no shading. It needed to be petite.). Luckily he did what I asked and I ended up leaving happy.

[@lotusfae]

It's not meaningless at all; it represents your spontaneity while also serving as a reminder of respecting your own boundaries and being assertive about your needs!

[@drinkingbleach932]

Im glad im not the only one who doesnt feel like i can correct or say no to a tattoo artist and ended up with tattoos that i regret, but we really gotta learn to stand up for ourselves.. i have changed my mindset about my tattoos and just dont care anymore because i have like 99% of my skin left to get what i actually do want, but if i keep not actually getting what i want because i cant correct the artist then im gonna end up with no room left on my skin for what i do want

[@yourneighborhoodmoonfaery]

Same 😢

[@Maria-ug2hp]

I honestly think the flowers would’ve been SOO CUTE. Maybe when you look at it now you’ll remember to stay confident in yourself and not back down

[@uurfavbrunette]

Girl the cherries are so cutee 😭

[@Godmylastalias]

I Love love the butterfly tattoo on your other hand! The placement is incredible, makes me want to get a tattoo there as well

[@BELLINile]

Not everything needs a reason 🤷🏿‍♀️ you did cause you wanted to. That is a good enough explanation💖

[@tootle_soup]

You can ABSOLUTELY say stop. A good artist would never pressure you into anything.

[@ddavi3212]

like others are saying, don’t let an artist talk you out of something like it’s your body after all. I think the cherries are super cute! and tattoos don’t necessarily have to have some deep meaning, having little “in the moment” tattoos are great , I have three !

[@w3rdc0r39]

Cherries are actually something to represent female rights. Sigh... And bewbs

[@anizenor7592]

And an old meaning is the female private part on our lower body

Tattoos dont have to have a meaning they can also just represent a memory or be art you like from an artist. Its nice to have a funmemory of an event you went to imo

[@10MINUTESORMORE]

*Keep up the amazingly fabulous work!*

[@crumarki]

never pull your second skin away from the tattoo!! always pull directly up or directly down parallel to the tattoo as to not risk pulling any ink out.

[@GrinchXOF]

How ya ami going to do that Amy my tats wrap around my arms

[@gala6695]

I think art can stand it’s own ground without needing specific meaning, especially if it has a funny story and moral to it!

[@cb.on.yt22]

don’t pull off the second skin that way!! you can pull out the ink! stretch it away from the skin but parallel instead of folding it over to pull!! also there’s no shame in laser removal or a coverup! We all make bad decisions under pressure sometimes, shame on that artist for questioning someone else’s decision for their body!

[@ashleywilson2709]

Tattoos don’t always have to have a meaning behind them, you generally just could like the art and want to support the artist doing the work

[@nohatsonthebed]

it's actually very common to regret your tattoo on the first days after getting it. the adrenaline and dopamine rushes fade away and you realize you go it for life. it's the same thing that happens after masturbating or having sex sometimes. i'm sure you will like it after sometimes or at least end up not caring about it that much! at the end of the day, humans make mistakes and that's okay. i'm sure you can get a great and pretty cover on it later on if you still regret it. it's gonna be okay ❤️

[@njrom2975]

Tattoos are forever!! And stays in the same spot !! Sex and masturbation just last minutes and is temporary ..What’s the similarity?

[@sae7000]

​@@njrom2975 The similarity is that they can both give a dopamine rush, which could mess with a person's judgement. One could very easily have sex because of a rush of dopamine and regret it later, much like someone that goes for a flash tattoo and also regrets it, either immediately or a few days after.

[@MK_Meow.Meow.]

Tattoos dont have to have to be meaningful...It can be if you want! But it doesn't need to be. But also, Im sorry that happened. That tattoo artist is a bad one. If someone asks for something, you dont say anything unless its not what the artist is comfortable with, or if its something they think you will regret getting the tattoo (not the placement, the tattoo) in a few years. Even then, usually, tattoo artists ask "are you sure" if its a dumb tattoo and/or if you're younger

[@Aubreeisbetter]

The flower would have been so cute with the butterflies on the other hand 😭

[@gods.drunkest.driver]

not an artist but doing my apprenticeship rn, that was incredibly unprofessional of that artist, he should have never commented on the placement and should have made 1000% sure you were happy with it, I'm so sorry you had such awful experience, that should never be the case with something so permanent

[@michellechaychay]

That’s how I feel about all my tattoos! It’s okay girl, it’s just what’s on the flesh- your heart is what matters❤️ you are beautiful!

[@swag8019]

its not meaningless its like a reminder that it was a mistake that you’ll never make again! It’ll remind you to stay unique and not always stick to the crowd!

[@sidthompson9538]

It’ll be a constant reminder to stand up for yourself, and to never let someone else influence control on your body you don’t want again. Cause at the end of the day he’s probably not ever going to give you a second thought unless he sees this video, and you have to live with that forever or until you pay a ton of money and go through a bunch more pain to get it taken off.

[@Skarlett.Rose.Ink.]

As a tattoo artist and shop owner: getting a free hand tattoo on the spot from FLASH was dumb. Do you know how many other people have that exact same tattoo? Way more than you want.
