Hi guys and welcome to another edition of Petrina Shows and in today's episode
we're gonna talk all about tattoos
specifically answering the question what does it feel like to get a tattoo on
your wrist. If you're someone who's ever wondered what does getting a tattoo feel
like, how much does it hurt, are tattoos painful, how much does a tattoo cost,
what's involved in getting a tattoo or any other tattoo related questions I'm
going to try to answer them in this video and to get started I'll give you a
little bit of my own tattoo history. Before recently getting my wrist tattoo,
I did have one already that I got after a bad breakup in my early 20s because
you know what better way to recover from a bad breakup than to have a needle
repeatedly jammed into your skin - am i right?
No, but seriously since it was so long ago I didn't really remember how it felt
like to have the tattoo. I would show it to you now but it's one of those ever
popular in the 90s tramp stamp kind of a thing. It's basically a heart shape made
out of red and purple roses. It definitely looks like a 20 year old
tattoo so eventually I'd like to get a cover-up with a huge back piece and if
any of you out there watching have any connections to Ink Master please let
them know that I would be a very willing and happy canvas- just putting that out
there. So the story behind this new tattoo is I wanted to make something in
honor of our youngest daughter. Her first name is Stella. Her middle name is Rose so I thought a really cool thing to do would be to get a beveled star with a
rose and a pretty banner with her name. I first was thinking of getting it on the
back of my neck but I did want it to be something that I could easily see. I
decided on my inner wrist. Tips for anyone out there considering a tattoo-
always always always check out different tattoo artists within your area. Make
sure they're licensed and have been tattooing people I would say for over
five years. Make sure they're reputable and they run a clean and professional
studio. Another tip is to have a very clear idea of what you want. Now I know
it can be really easy to go in and just spontaneously want to get a tattoo and a
lot of studios make it even easier with having flash all up on the wall that you
can choose from but since this is a piece of art that's going to be on your
body for the rest of your life, I would highly recommend that you give some
thought to it and make sure that you're gonna be happy with it for the rest of
your life. Keep in mind too that there are a number of different tattooing
styles- I'm not gonna go into every single one here but I will put a link in the
description below where you can get to know all the different types of tattoo
styles so that if you let's say want to have a tattoo of a skull you'll know
exactly whether you want that skull to be an American traditional piece or an
entirely different style, let's say geometric, or a more watercolor skull
or something more along the lines of a new-school kind of a skull. Another tip
I'd give is before you even set foot into a tattoo studio go to their website
and possibly even their Instagram to get a feel of the style of their work, whether
or not it you know fits in tune with the kind of image that you want to have
tattooed on your body. The absolute worst thing you can do in getting tattooed is
just walking into a shop not knowing anything about the artists or having a
clear idea of what you even want tattooed and just picking some random
flash item and hoping for the best. Chances are it might not even take a day
or two before you wind up majorly regretting your choice and I hate to
break it to you laser treatment is expensive and from what I hear way more
painful than getting an actual tattoo- which brings me to the next big topic
and that is PAIN. If you're wondering how bad does it hurt for someone with a low pain
tolerance? Well the answer is it depends. No matter your level of supposed pain
intolerance or how tough you think that you are, getting a tattoo is not
likely to be a painless process for anyone out there. Remember it involves
someone using a rapidly moving needle to inject
ink into your skin. Now having said that, you know the pain level can vary
not only based on your own personal pain tolerance but the placement of the
tattoo. Generally speaking any area that's you know bonier than others or
where the needle is more likely to come into contact with a bone- like let's say
your rib area- that's definitely going to hurt more than it would if they're
tattooing let's say a thigh and I can say from personal experience that some
areas like the inner part of your wrist can really psychologically mess with
your head while you're getting the tattoo because instinctively you know
that it's a very vulnerable area on your body so while you're having your arm
extended you feel as if you should be protecting that wrist when the artists
first get started on your tattoo. Having said that, even though I consider myself
to be a person with a fairly low pain tolerance
I barely flinched while getting this wrist tattoo which I think not only
surprised me but the artist himself because with a beveled star there's a
lot of very precise line work and actually filling in the black portions
of the beveled star he even did I hope you can see like flecks of black
throughout to make the banner seem more like an aged kind of paper which I
thought was really neat. I did not find getting my inner wrist tattooed too painful. The
sensation is really weird. It's almost as if you're being stung repeatedly but
there was something about like the thrum of the equipment and the noise
there and also you know the music playing within the studio itself it took
my mind off of it and made me feel a lot more comfortable and no they weren't
playing like classical music or Enya- it was more heavy stuff but I still
found it distracting from what was going on with my arm. Let me give you a better
look of what it looks like with the arm extended.
I picked the Lucia font which makes the S look a little bit difficult to read but
I really loved the feminine angles of the Lucia font. I love my tattoo it's a
fairly you know decent size it took the artist about a little over an hour to do
it. I wanted to note too that if you are someone going in for a tattoo and maybe
you think that you're gonna be able to simply walk in and get one -if you're
going to an established tattoo parlor, a walk in situation is probably not going
to happen and it didn't happen with me. I came in, I got to speak with the artist
briefly and share with him what my concept was, I made an appointment to
come in and get it done. I just came in at the appointment time, he showed me the
outline, I approved it and they'll affix outline to whatever area you're getting tattooed
and like very carefully peel it off and then begin their work. Tattoo costs can
really vary based on you know not only where you live but the size of the
tattoo, the placement of the tattoo, how much color is going to be used in your
tattoo, all of that jazz. Most tattoo places will take payment in cash only so
don't be surprised about that and you will likely be required to put a deposit
down in order to book the appointment. The wrist tattoo that I got cost me one
hundred and forty dollars and while I was there I also asked about getting a
full length sleeve. I eventually want to get a Phoenix with cherry blossoms along
my arm and I was told that in order to get something like that done it would
likely take about six sessions where you'd have to wait at least two weeks in
between sessions for your skin to heal and it would cost about $3,400!
so mama needs to save some money or maybe be a canvas on ink master
I would literally beg for a spot. Truth be told I'd eventually like to get
inked in a lot of different spots just because I think tattoos are really
beautiful and there are some crazy amazing artists out there. I definitely
think that any pain that's involved with getting a tattoo is completely worth it
when you're working with a talented artist and having a piece of art done
that is meaningful to you and looks beautiful on your body. I've given birth
twice and I've got to say on the pain scale childbirth is way way way way way
above the pain of getting a tattoo so if it's the thought of pain that's holding you
back, I'd say chill out, breathe, find a great artist and go! Getting a tattoo may
not feel like a blissful massage but the pain is not that bad in the grand scheme
of things and you should have a great piece of art on your body to show for it!
That's my two cents. If you're someone who loves tattoos go ahead and click
