So continue scrolling to check out our hand-picked content from these subreddits, and don't miss the talk we had with tattooist and owner of Swansea, United Kingdom-based studio Highwater Gallery, Josh Young.

My Cat, Meonji, By Yeonno In Hongdae, Seoul Korea. It's My First Tattoo Ever And Took 11 Hours

goyangimamma Report

When thinking about inking your skin, it's important to understand what you're getting yourself into. "I would say one of the most common misconceptions about tattooing perhaps would be the time it takes to design and perform a tattoo," Young told Bored Panda.

"I think to the inexperienced customer, they can, a lot of the time, assume we are able to just 'knock up' a quick design and unfortunately, the line 'the tattoo should only take half an hour' is thrown in quite a lot."

Noah_Keulen Report

Young is guessing that it could stem from flash sheet days, "where you could just pick off the wall and get it done quite quickly. Or perhaps it comes from watching 'reality' tattoo shows that are cut to show the design, set up, and execution done in half an hour."

Either way, the artist thinks people should invest a bit of patience to educate themselves rather than meet these assumptions and misconceptions with frustration.

"Another common misconception would be the pain aspect," Young added. "Yes, the procedure can be painful, but the body is incredibly resilient and everyone is surprised at their own pain tolerance.

"We as humans are capable of sitting through huge amounts of trauma and so when anyone mentions they wouldn't be able to sit for a tattoo, I would encourage them to just give it a bash and they will be pleasantly surprised at their own tolerance."

That's a goodest boy (girl?) ever! I was going through a horrible time with depression and anxiety. Not proud of this, but I had self mutilation/cutting behaviors and was almost hospitalized. I adopted a 9 month old kitten from the local pound. My beautiful ball of fluff helped me in ways no person had been able to. With him at my side and in my lap and with proper medical treatment and medication regimen I got better. It will be 2 years next month and while I still have days that I'm depressed or anxious it's never gotten to that point again. Maverick has been a wonderful friend, companion, listener, psychologist, and fuzz therapist! I love you, my fuzzy faced menace!😽❤️

No one will care for them like you do. The following are on the Honor Roll of keeping me here: Tigger Too, Miss Lucy Loo, and Miss Frankfurter.

Good on you! Now when you look, you'll see that gorgeous face looking at and loving you, with that great big grin, and you'll know that you got better and overcame that pain. You don't know me, but it can get better and easier and there are so many of us who are pulling for you, who want you to feel better. I don't know what 'better' looks like for you, but I want you to have it. Every time I see someone with scars, I wish I could tell them that there ARE people who want what's best for them, that we want you to succeed, that we care. That there are other ways to feel, that there's an entire world out there that is so different from what you're used to, a world where you can be exactly who you feel you really are. It's an amazing world, and it changes without warning, but it's very rewarding when you learn just how strong you really are, how resilient you are. Please stay. Please.

Good tattoo...until the dog dies and the depression kicks back in...and then what? The dog tattoo is a trigger and reminder of desperation and loneliness and drives the person to re-commit self harm. This is a double edged sword if there ever was one. The sentiment is nice but the execution is half baked.

It can also be a reminder that even if they're gone they would want them to keep going for them, 5 out of 6 of the dogs I've lived with was/is(3 has passed) rescues and the 6th one was given to us at 4 weeks but I like to think the 3 that has passed would want me to keep going and show other pets that was like them left behind, looked over, and/or less likely to be adopted and show them what being loved and having a good home feels like, volunteer to help rehabilitate the ones mislabeled as dangerous like Pitbulls, Chow Chows, Rottweilers, etc. cause we had a chow chow german shepherd mix till I was 5 1/2, a Rottweiler till 11/12, and 3 pitbulls(had 4), so I'm not scared of them and if I had a car and license I would also put down that if they got a new pet in and has certain medical conditions that needs overnight watch or new borns I would gladly volunteer to help with them cause I'm a night owl so I would bring some of my crochet stuff to do, it depends on the person how it effects

The most important thing first-timers should concentrate on, according to the tattoo artist, is comfort. "If the customer is not comfortable and relaxed, then usually it sets the precedent for how well they sit during the tattoo procedure," Young highlighted.

"Too many times I've seen first-timers hella nervous and not made to feel relaxed and instead of excited, they are fearful, and don't actually sit very well or enjoy the whole experience. It is a tattooist's responsibility to ensure that they are not only providing the very best tattoo for the client but making it the most enjoyable experience too."

Whatever is driving you to a tattoo salon, it's enoughю After all, it's your body! 

"Most first-timers tend to get a tattoo for personal reasons," Young said. "I think because the tattoos tend to have far deeper meanings behind them, it encourages them to get over the fear and get it done."

"Once people start getting a lot of coverage, that's usually when the silly non-meaning tattoos tend to break out," he added, laughing.

If you need reassurance, remember that industry professionals really want you to have a positive experience. "My advice would be to any first-timers, if you are not made to feel comfortable when in the tattoo shop, look somewhere else."

"We at Highwater Gallery and many good tattoo shops I know of, strive to make you as relaxed and comfortable as possible, whilst also understanding that it can be very daunting and you can be a bag of nerves coming in," the tattoo artist explained.

In Young's opinion, "cups of tea or coffee, reassuring words of encouragement, a very laid-back attitude to time frames, and a calm and relaxed approach to the process all help to create the best experience possible for you for your first tattoo."

"Tattoo shops thrive on repeat customers so they should be doing everything they can to encourage you to come back, even if getting a tattoo tends to be a little painful now and then!"
