Alright all you inked mommies!! I am planning on joining you all as of tomorrow. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions for someone getting their first tattoo?

Have them go slow, ask for breaks if needed, pee first before sitting down and bring a way to distract yourself that doesn't make you move.
7 tats and counting

This was my very first tattoo. I suggest if you still want to be presentable get a tattoo you can cover. I have a sleeve so i have had to cover up for jobs and such. The tattoo artist gave me a tip. He said never get a tattoo you cant cover up 👍😁

@kathale95, Eat 1 hour before you go. If you need to take a break, let your artist know. Bring a drink like Gatorade/water with you, and sip on it throughout your tattoo. Make sure you like the design and placement before committing. If you don't like where it sits, ask them to move it 100 times if you need to. If you don't like the drawing, have them tweak it until you do. Make sure your artist is confident in your tattoo, and knows they're capable of nailing it.

Make sure to eat before you go in and also try not to over think or worry about how it's going to feel. It's not as bad as what you think. Lol

@haley-lamb it's going to look something like this. Of course I'm going to get him to adjust it so it looks normal. It's 2 tattoos morphed together

@haley-lamb, Everyone is most definitely different. When I had my ribs done I couldn't breathe until he paused for a second.

@haley-lamb I was thinking either my boob or like the back of my shoulder. I want to be able to see it but I heard back shoulder isn't that bad

@haley-lamb I'll be sure to post it if I follow through with it. I have a low pain tolerance but I plan on taking like 800mg of ibuprofen before I go (I'm a light weight) when I was in labor the epidural didn't really hurt that bad because I had the IV pain meds 😂 my body is weird.

@haley-lamb I mean like I think I'm bigger but people say I'm not, like I feel like my shoulder is just skin them bone right under there is like no meat. I was considered petite before I has my son.
