What essential items do you bring to your tattoo appointment?? 🤔
My sketchbook and a pen
They don't allow food so I finished eating before I got there LOL. I brought the ointment that am going to use later. Just wanted to make sure I got the right ones.
What should I do for snacks, I’m on keto so I can’t have sugary things, do you have any other ideas that I could drink or eat that would still keep me from not eating the sugar or carbs?
I’m not to sure. Are you able to have like Fruits?
Hey @JustINKD where do you get your tattoos from I live in Canada and u had a raps jersey so was just wondering cuz ur tats look great!
The pillow tip my guy..... I literally just sat through 3 hours... butt cheeks on flamingo flame. I was saying my ass and tailbone hurt more than the tat.
Probably the most underrated item. I used to always sit through the pain of discomfort and numbness. I’d complain more about that then the tattooing. Once I started bringing a good pillow, it literally became like a different experience
Getting my first tattoo in a couple of days so I'm binge watching your videos lol. Thank you so much! I feel more prepared now
I'm getting a whole sleeve. And I'm doing the same thing
I'm getting my first tattoo and going through so many tattoo videos
I’m glad I’m not the only one. I feel like I’m weird for binging on these videos
@@cassie3853 how did your tattoos end up??
@@jordandowling9377 amazing i love it and it was less pain than I thought
Oh shit I almost forgot I need money for a tattoo 😂😂
Wouldn’t it be nice to say you just forgot the money and couldn’t pay 😉😂
Paydays and OJ are great for appointments. I have Hypoglycemia, so my sugar drops frequently. The peanuts in the payday help you later, the sugar helps you now.
Depending on location of the tattoo depends on clothing I bring. As a female I like to bring a button up or wear a button up so I don’t have to pull something over my head or to wear on the arm I’m not getting done. Also a small blanket because I tend to get cold.
Blanket is actually a great thing to pack!! You can find yourself freezing from not only the ac but your body being in a shock like state from the tattoo
I was freezing with my last one! I didn’t even think about it!
Something that I think everyone should add to their tattoo bag is a pair of sunglasses. I just got back from a 3 day in a row outer leg sleeve at the All Stars convention and having those sunglasses was fantastic. Usually I bring them to shade my eyes from the circle light the artist uses (which works great) but this time it also gave me some more personal space since most of the convention there was a crowd of people watching me get tattooed. The sunglasses allowed me to check out when I needed to while looking like a badass hahaha. Also, I brought one of those memory foam neck pillows that you use on an airplane and that was absolutely amazing. I could manipulate it into any position I needed.
Great tip bro
The stress ball and pillow sound like gold! Almost done with a full chest tattoo and I’ll be going insane! Some parts are a little uncomfortable and because the chairs are uncomfortable my ass be sore af lol
Chair is the worst. I remember being in more pain from my ass going numb than the needle. And the stress ball comes in clutch. I use it all the time
The stress ball is totally gold! I sit like a champ, and I've had some painful tattoos, but having the stress ball keeps me from flinching or getting antsy. Works like a charm! Decent meal a couple hours ahead of time then gummy life savers, mints and vitamin water for during. Works every time! Great video!
My 1st tattoo only took 40min so I didn’t bother preparing myself but now that I’m getting a tattoo from my shoulder to my elbow in 2 weeks that’ll take over 4 hours I’m kinda scared 😅 thanks for being so informative, it’s helping ease my anxiety a lot
I take poweradd or gatorade and gummy bears. Everyone time and eat spaghetti or pizza the night before.
Perfect snacks and meal 👌🏼👌🏼
My tattoo artist says she gets people in that say they were so nervous that they couldn’t eat or drink before getting the tattoo, she said that never ends well. Great video and great advice.
Just subbed to your channel. I'm prepping to save up for my tattoo and get it in like the next couple months. I had to write a comment because 1. You seem so legit and no bs and that's important when watching someone for research. 2. I saw you had the think and grow rich book and i just thought, this guy knows what's up, he's on a different mindset. Cheers to you and love the videos!
I’m getting a new tattoo next week. It’ll be my 6th tattoo but it’ll be my biggest and longest session. My other have not been longer than 1.5 hours. My artist said 4-5 hours. This video was so helpful. Thank you so much. I feel way more prepared now. I’m binge watching most of your videos. Ps love all your tattoos. They are beautiful.
Solid tips. I took a hip pillow for my last session which really helped with lying on my side for 8 hours getting a sleeve. Got my next session booked for this week, I'll definitely be whipping out a tripod 😂 Keep the vids coming, great stuff 👊
Thanks man. Appreciate this video, getting my first tattoo next Sunday. It kept getting backed up due to COVID.
Am getting my first tattoo done tomorrow and this is very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Just want to say recently found you and I'm finding your videos so helpful. I'm gearing up to get my first big half sleeve tattoo so all tips are welcome
All great items to bring to your next tattoo appointment! My favourite snacks are sour patches and Gatorade
Thank you so much man, I haven't thought of these things but it all makes sense. I'm planning on a sleeve and I really need to get a few things from your list!
I'm gonna get my first tattoo later this year and I just started binge watching your videos. You deliver all the points well, thank you so much for your tips!
Haven’t really seen a video like this yet, thinking outside the box and still entertaining.🙌🏾
So glad to hear this and that you enjoyed the video 👊🏼🙏🏼
JustINKD just sc
JustINKD just like ‘‘tis video! Cool video question how long do you have to wait until you can go back in the sun after a tattoo thanks
Atleast two weeks until it’s fully healed then always be wearing sunscreen and avoiding direct sunlight
JustINKD can I still go out in the sun if I cover up my tattoo with a shirt or a blanket?
Got my first tattoo apt today and your videos have helped me so much. I'm excited and nervous. Wish me luck 🙏🏾 😅
I just got my first tat 3 days ago and I definitely feel like ur vids clutched up in the process
Thank you for the vid. Getting my 6th tattoo, except I've never sat in the chair longer than an hr maybe 1.5hrs. This new one im reserved for 4 hrs, so it feels like emotionally getting my first tattoo
Longer tattoos are always stressful but they’re not as bad as you think. As long as you got distractions you’re good 👊🏼
Yeah bringing a pillow is a good idea..I so love your vids very helpful before having a tattoo😊
Getting my first tattoo tomorrow! I've watched so many of your videos to help me prepare. So helpful!
Hope I’m able to help 🙏🏼👊🏼
Just want to thank you for all your videos and tips .Have lots of tattoos and you gave me some new ideas to make it a more comfortable experience 👍
Thank you! Glad I was able to help you out and give you a better experience 👊🏼
How is this video not higher rated?! You gave some AMAZING gems in here.... I hear everyone give the same 3 tips for the bag or the night before or etc etc... this one I actually LEARNED something! Thanks!
I wish it was bigger too just because I know there’s some great tips in it and people could really get some good tips and information from it. But still happy to hear it’s reaching people like you and helping you out 🙏🏼
Today is my tattoo day I’m so excited! Watching this again so I’m prepared 🤩
Definitely taking this advice! I have about 7 hours of tattoos coming up in a month! Definitely bringing snacks!
i'm getting my first tattoo Friday which also happens to be an 8 hour session hahahaha but watching these videos is helping me feel slightly better about what I'm about to be put through.
You’ll be fine! You got it 👊🏼 picture how great and different you’ll look with your new tattoo
I make sure I eat a good meal before I get tattooed. I bring a Snicker's Bar, since I'm a diabetic, if I feel a little light headed I eat it. If there studio doesn't offer drinks I bring bottles of water I can drink during breaks. I usually just like talking to my artist during the tattoo, if he doesn't want to talk then I usually listen to whatever music he's listening to. One artist every single to me. Sometimes I reached start fixing off. And yes being a pillow. I've had most of my tattoos on massage tables and have been twisted into a pretzel to access different areas. The body aches from being comforted often feel worse afterwards than there tattoo itself.
What does your a1c have to be to get a tattoo? I heard some let you under 8, some under 7, and some you just need a doctors note
Got a week before my first 4 hour session so thank you very much for this !
When you took out the Tri pod i was laughing so hard! I can tell you had really fun making this video! This was a pretty good video! I really liked it! Good job man.
Tripod is my favourite Thing to bring 😂 and yeah had a fun time making this!
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom! I'm getting a sizeable rib/hip/thigh piece and I have my first session tomorrow! Its my first tattoo and I'm pretty nervous, but fingers crossed it goes well!!
Update: best decision of my life. Its glorious.
THATS AMAZING TO HEAR 🔥👊🏼
Always enjoy your videos bro. Keep up the great content
Thank you for watching, and commenting 🙏🏼👊🏼
Something to drink...Keep hydrated. Shop i go to often has water, but not always. Or juice, something with a bit of sugar or electrolytes.
Gatorade is the best for this 👊🏼
Binge watching this last minute, I'm getting a chest tattoo on Friday, these essential are so helpful!
I usually bring things I can eat in a bite so I don't get crumbs all over, like chocolate covered peanuts and fried corn or salted banana chips. Always try to get something salty and something sweet, and a Gatorade and water. The Gatorade is really a life savior🙌🏻 haha
Gatorade is my go too 🔥👌🏼
What else do you recommend for salty snacks? All I can think of are chips 🤦🏾♀️🥴
Gonna get my chest piece literally next week and I'm so super excited 😆 it's my biggest tattoo so far
Going to get my first one in 2 weeks... really helping video Justin thanks !
That’s awesome ace! What are you going to be getting!? 👊🏼
Adding these to my list to bring. My first tattoo is this Saturday 🙌
I'm getting a tattoo quite a bit into the future and it's gonna be like 6-7 hours so I'm binging all these kinds of vids and also preparing with getting cream etc.
A PILLOW!! I have been getting tattooed for years and never thought of bringing a pillow! Definitely bringing one with me for my next long session in a few months and possibly a small fleece blanket. I tend to get chilly. With a pillow and a blanket I may even take a nap! ;)
Thanks for the info. This is actually a really helpful video
One of the best tattoo prep videos I’ve ever seen!
I’m getting my first tattoo Thursday and I’m nervous but excited. Im binge watching all of your videos and I do feel more prepared. He said it’ll be 4 hours. Placement will be on my upper thigh I’m debating on bringing a pillow or not.
Excellent recommendations! Tripod and pillow is next level comfort!
Those are the underrated items 😉
Thank you so much! This will help me alot!
Damn bro good video. You bring all the same shit I do in my tat bag. I also wear super comfortable clothes because I know I'm gonna be sitting for a while
Omg that's exactly what I said about pain too! Laying on your side and hip digging into the table hurt worse 😩
Literally that was almost worse than the tattoo
Great video. Pretty much summed up everything, only thing I'll say is when you were talking about socks... I always were slides. Just like at the airport, so much more convenient.
I’m going for my first one at the end of November. This video was not the one I was looking for, but the video I needed to see. Such good points, I’m glad it popped up! Thanks!
I’m subscribing.
Glad I was able to help out in some way and even more that you’re joining the channel. Welcome 👊🏼
I’m getting Medusa on my upper arm at the end of the month by a guy who has done a few of my cousins sleeves. A very good artist who is selective of what he does. It’ll be my first tattoo. Your videos are very informative!
Goodluck! I’m sure it’s going to look sick!! 👊🏼
You’re not from Sicily, are you? The Sicilian flag is what made me want Medusa since she is depicted on it. (My moms fam is from there)
Just found your channel. I am planning on getting my very first tattoo ever.
I needed this.
Squeeze ball was amazing. Def a must have for me now
I take a blanket and different layers of clothes just for any temperature changes in the shop. And sour patch kids are my go to snack during.
A blanket is Definitely a great idea. The temp always seems to change 😅 also a great snack 👌🏼
his tat actually looks amazing... the shading the design everything is on point and it looks crazy good it looks INSANELY good
i am getting my first 8 hour session on the 20th, so thank you for the advice. i am very excited, but nervous because it will be the longest time i have had to sit for a tattoo. i have8 tattoos, but they are all pretty small, 1-3 hours a piece.
This is actually going to help me tomorrow I have a 13 hour tattoo on my leg
Goodluck 💀😅
Lucozade and strawberry laces! Can’t go wrong
Love your videos dude 🔥
Thank you 🙏🏼
Wasup bro I love your vids fr man , I have a suggestion tho. Could you make a video on what to do if you get tattoos on multiple parts of the body at once ?
Yeah I can definitely put that on the list of videos 👊🏼
Travel size pillows or neck pillows are good also, but I like the tripod idea. That’s pretty smart no lie
😉😉 got plenty of them good ideas
Justin don't tell me you are gonna be getting a space theme tattoo.
My left arm is saved for that,I love astronomy and space,if you get that it will be dope asf.
LMAOO who knows 😉 but that’s awesome! I have a big interest and love for space too, always sick when I see someone with a space themed tattoo 👌🏼
I bring coke lol. My artist and me just talk so time fly buy very fast too. Got a outline for a full Japanese sleeve.
I already bring electrolyte water, snacks, and my iPad for Netflix, but I really gotta try that stress ball tip. Normally not a stress ball person, but some of those lines, I really just wanna squeeze something lol also YES! My last tattoo was my calf and by the end, the hip I was laying on hurt more than the tattoo lol
Charged phone, headphones, and water are essential for me...I can sit down and UA-cam or Netflix while letting my artist focus
I shoul’ve found out ‘bout this channel before getting inked. At least for the next tats, I know what to do.
Very timely since I’m getting my first tattoo on my forearm tomorrow. It’s about a 2-hour session so hopefully won’t be too bad. Just nervous. 😬 I have bad fears of the unknown, like, things I haven’t done before that seem scary. Trying to conquer my fears by getting it done. My wife is getting one done tomorrow too, so we are braving it together 🤞🏻
I was the same, breaking that fear bubble is all part of the fun . Nice reason you getting your tattoo.. My current and future tattoos help mentally.. good luck 2mro and enjoy.
Matthew Morrisons even d thanks. I’m getting my last name on my outer forearm, written in the “we the people” style. I’m a very patriotic person and proud to be american. I believe very strongly in the constitution, so what better writing style to use than the same one used to write our founding document.
I got a 5 hour session on my forearm on my 18th a few months ago. It’s worth it, isn’t even bad. I got my inner forearm done for the most part and apparently that hurts more. Part of my tat flows on to my outer forearm and that part was fake
That’s awesome Tim! You and your wife will walk out of that feeling like newer people for having a tattoo and facing your fear of the needle. Trust me it’s not as bad as you think, going to sting, but just make sure to distract yourself, breathe and you’ll be fine 👊🏼 Goodluck to you both tomorrow! 🙏🏼
JustINKD just got back from the shop with my new tattoo. The outline hurt a lot, particularly in the wrist and elbow areas. I almost passed out 3 times and I yelled just about every obscenity in the book as it was being done. My arm stings a lot right now. Didn’t shade in or color the letters but my artist did shading around the lettering and it looks badass. It took me by surprise at first because he started with the wrist and that was the worst part. I had to really will myself go keep going and I had to take a break and let my wife get hers done before I got the shading done.
My wife got “Everyone is weird” on her inner left arm written in small letters and she didn’t flinch at all. She totally showed me up. 😂
I’ve almost passed out twice from my blood sugar levels dropping, so I always make sure I bring lots of chocolate to my appointments!
Moral support & numbing cream! I'm getting my first tattoo on my spine in a couple of days [yikes! I know].. so I'm bringing my mum along so I have someone there to comfort me.. and numbing cream because if you're someone who doesn't deal with pain well it's handy 😅 but always double check with artist prior how they feel about clients using it 😁
This has probably already been said, but if you are diabetic, like my dad who has 15+ tattoos, you will get low sugar, and have a mtn dew (my dad's preferred method or sugar) and PROTEIN on hand. Like, have someone with you who is willing to get you chicken nuggets or something if you start getting low.
Getting my first Tattoo tomorrow
Did a 6 hour session for side today mostly laying down on my left side. Sounds stupid but I brought my old ds and played Pokémon while he tattooed me, also was the first time trying a numbing cream, didn’t feel a thing on my leg/butt so for sure going to use again for shading on my ribs next one! Brought 2 small sandwiches as well as Gatorade and today went by super fast!
I have a double cover up tattoo that needs to be covered I get to be tattooed on my birthday of a samurai and it’s going to be a 7 to 8 hour tattoo thanks for your videos
For my last tattoo, when i went to get the back of my calf done, I knew i'd be on my stomach primarily and so for entertainment, I dug out my old nintendo 3DS. And until the last hour where i had to just focus on my breathing to get through the pain, that portable gaming came SUPER clutch with what i could do to pass the time, given of course the fact i was on my stomach.
Ur channel is amazingggg
It’s pretty good isn’t it 🥹
Thankyou for being so informative I’m getting my big neck tat in the foreseen future and been wondering what I would need to bring with me 😍 wanna come hold my hand while I get it ??
What you going to be getting 😉
Great video nice advice
Binge watching all your vids today
Awesome. Thanks for showing love and supporting 🙋🏼♀️
I turn 17 in October and I wanted to get a tattoo for my birthday but I’ve decided I’m going to wait til I’m 18. And do more research and learn more about it before I do it
I bring thick socks, cola and headphones🙌🏻 some typ off snacks also depending on my mood and in what country😅 I also recommend a big shirt and lose clothes all and all 🙌🏻❤️
Also recommend a sound book instead off reading cuz you can spaceout abit more
So cool 👏👏👏
Im getting my first tattoo later thank you bro!
Love your picture 😂👌🏼
@@justinkd thanks bro 😂
I really respect the fact that he likes Ozuna 💯💯💯
This was a great post! I'm planning on getting a full back tattoo soon. SoOo excited! I'll be packing many of the suggested items! Thanks for the suggestions!!
Very helpful thanks
If youre tattooing your stomach. Bring a towel... To chew on. That sht hurt like no other
Yeah the stomach I’ve heard is just next level pain
@ Gavin Gotidoc. My stomach has been the worst and I’ve done my ribs arm pit chest and more. I questioned my decision of the stomach the entire time.
@@justinkd it definitely is.
Thank you Justin!
🙏🏼👊🏼
@@justinkd I'll have my first tattoo today, very excited and this really helps alot!
Goodluck with your first tattoo 👊🏼
Off topic but love the mclovin ID and are you American or Canadian because I swear that money stack had both
I never would’ve thought to bring extra clothes and socks but it definitely makes a lot of sense.
It’s a big one! Having extra clothes makes the process so much easier 👊🏼
A tennis ball 🎾. I sometimes get problems in my lower back when I sit in one position for any length of time. I sit/lie against/on the tennis ball and it deep-massages the area. To me deep massage is a sweet kind of pain and it kind of deflects some of the tattoo pain too!
This is actually a great idea and I’m adding it to my bag 👊🏼👌🏼
I show up with my wallet my phone and a cardigan in case I get cold. If it’s a long session I won’t eat or drink anything until I am done.
This was perfect timing ... got a five hour session tomorrow haha
Goodluck with it bro! What are you getting ?! 👌🏼
JustINKD i got an angel wing with clouds and light beams and the word shekinah it ended up taking 6 hours haha
Sounds awesome! Send me a pic of it bro! How was the pain?!
Take this tip for yourself, If you're getting a long session done on your legs bring 2 pillows. One for the hip and the other for between the legs or head
Definitely! Pillows are your saving grace from that chair and being uncomfortable 👌🏼
You should definitely make a new version of this vid ☺️
Getting my first tattoo in 12 hours and I’m binging your vids
How did it go??
@@danielgomes5814 fucking swell I already want more
@@holdenc2636 that makes me happy brother. I’m getting my first done in about 16 hours.
Doing all my outside forearm
I usually bring some gummy worms and some Gatorade
GUMMY WORMS ARE THE SHEEIIT 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
To my last tattoo I came with only my phone and it was 6 hours but the artist is a friend of mine so we basically gossiped around during that time 😂
