I am good mates with the guy who does my work anyway so i can just natter to him and his fiancee ( who is the piercer) for hours on end without too much of a problem.

How ever listening to music can definately work, it has for me in the past, or trying to think of something else, like how awesome the tattoo will look when it’s finished.

Sorry can’t think of anything else at the minute, will update my post if i do 😀
