Hello everyone!
I’m new to this forum and i apologize for my english!
I’m about to have my first tattoo tomorrow morning and I’m a nerve rack..The tattoo I choose is not a small one and tattoist told me it will take at least 2 hours to finish it. So I’m thinking using a tranquilizer pill half an hour before getting it to control my stress cause I’ve heard that if you are afraid you’ll experience pain in a higher level..
So I’m asking you guys..is it too much? It’s just a harmless anxiolytic pill.. I can’t find another way to control my stress..
thanks for your time..
I wouldn’t. First, two hours isn’t really that long for a tattoo and second you’re going to drive the artist nuts if you’re all stressed out. Alot of it is mental, if you approach it the way you are like it’s going to be torture then it will be. You need to get yourself in a more positive state of mind or this will not be a pleasant experience for you or the artist. I’m not sure taking an anti-anxiety pill will help if you’re that mentally stressed already. Honestly, if you’re that concerned do yourself and artist a favor and reschedule your appointment. It’s really not that bad, though, you’re making it out to be worse than it actually is.
Focus on your breathing. Take regular breaths and don’t hold your breath when getting tattooed. Alot of people ignore this and suffer for it. Eat something starchy beforehand and bring a sugary drink to sip on during the process. You’ll probably be shocked at how easy it goes. Also tell the artist if you are getting the least bit dizzy or light-headed. It’s not a problem, but something to watch out for nonetheless. Good luck and all hopes to it going well for you.
Excellent advice.
