I’ll be really like talking to one of my tattoo artists like: hey give an approximate price for this massive giant tattoo so I can save money for next year and I’ll book with you.

No driving license but I’ll have the coolest tattoos 💀💅

No idea if anyone will even see or respond to this but I figured I’d ask about it on here because I still refuse to get Reddit lol. Even if you don’t have experience with tattoos, any advice is appreciated if you have better social experience than me.

So I messaged him around midday Thursday on instagram, which is his business social media, asking if a certain flash he had was still available. He responded a couple hours later saying that it was and that he’d love an opportunity to tattoo it (it’s been on the list for a couple years unclaimed). So I read and responded to it a couple hours after that saying how I’d love to get it done and just asking about making an appointment. But he hasn’t responded since. And it’s obviously not something that I need done urgently or anything but the conversation, or lack thereof, is making me anxious lol.

Cause my first instinct is to message again but I don’t want to come off as too pushy. I used to have terrible social anxiety but I have mostly grown out of it, except when it comes to messaging strangers lol. All of my tattoo appointments before were always made in person so I don’t know how to do any of this.

So I’ve been giving it time, especially since Friday was one of the busiest tattooing days of the year, but now I just don’t know what to do. Should I; just let it be and wait it out, send another message (and what should I say lol), or just go to the studio in person and try to make an appointment?

In a weird change of faith, it’s a good thing I didn’t have my tattoo appointment on Friday because now I ended up asking the artist if she’d help me celebrate the big highlight in my journey of loving myself, gender, and body by making me a second tattoo inspired by Paidaton Riehuja. And she did!!! All in all, the experience of being tattooed by her was amazing! We listened to Käärijä, Go_A and Vesna all day, talked about Käärijä, growing up near Vantaa and so much more!!

Preparing for your tattoo - don’t stress!

-- 

IN PREPARATION BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT: *Please exfoliate and moisturise 2 weeks prior to our appointment if you can. This will soften the area of the skin and make the process a little bit easier for tattooing. Please do not apply either the day of, before your appointment, to allow the stencil to adhere well. 

*If you are scheduled for an appointment on the upper arm, please bring a singlet with you. If you are working on the legs, please bring loose shorts with you. This will make it super easy for you on the day of the appointment when stencilling and tattooing. Try to wear clothes that you aren't too attached to, as they may get ink stains on them. 

*Bring lots of water, your favourite snacks and lunch if we've got a big day ahead. Even for small appointment, I recommend bringing a bit of sugar to keep your sugar levels up.

* Make sure to eat breakfast! It gives your body the extra energy and calories to work through during your appointment. Without a decent meal, you may become dizzy, and can pass out.

*Wear comfortable clothes and get a good night's rest the night before your appointment! *If you are working on an area that may leave you a feeling little bit exposed, feel free to bring a shawl or small blanket to use while getting tattooed.

Favorite time of the year

[requiemforaninsomniac]

just remembered that my friend's grandma thought people were sedated for tattoos. like she thought you go to the shop and get set up, and then the anesthesiologist comes out...

February 27 2023 So both good, unfortunate, and annoying things happened today. Firstly the good: I went to a meeting with a youth advice center where I learned about a gender and identity therapy-ish group which sounds pretty interesting. The annoying thing is that I still haven’t heard about my legal gender change and my advisor noted that she’d heard of similar long waiting times, so love that for me. But what about the bad? Well, My tattooist got sick and cancelled our appointment tomorrow.
