how to decide on your first tattoo (and not regret it)

In this video, we’re talking about how to finally decide on that first tattoo you want to get and not regret it. This is my personal process I have used for my 4 tattoos so far, and I figured it would be helpful for someone maybe in the same position I was in when looking to get my first one.
This is the first of three episodes that I’ll be doing for this mini series. The 2nd episode will be about how to prepare for your tattoo and the third episode will be about how to take care of your tattoo after you get it.

    Wow, really appreciate the kind words! My goal with this was to make someone else’s first time easier because I know it was overwhelming for me the first time.

    Hey thanks so much! I really appreciate that. I was trying to give this one a more cinematic look; just started experimenting with lighting/lamps I have to get a better look when recording at night. 😆And I'm glad to hear you say that! I feel like I have met a good amount of people where that is the case. They got a small first one and then had to work around it for a later idea. I think it's easy to do when you get super excited about getting the first one.

    Question which may have already been covered but I'm writing this at the beginning of the video: What if you draw your OWN tattoo? OFC I used a program with layers so things can be changed but I want to know if it's a good idea or not

    I think there’s nothing wrong with drawing your own tattoo to get the idea out. I’m shit at drawing which is why I use Instagram to find my inspiration for the initial idea, so if you’re a good artist it just makes that step of getting that idea out of your head easier. But find a reputable artist that matches the style you’re going for. You should be able to see this pretty easy from their portfolio on their website or through something like Instagram. However, don’t get so attached to your idea that you don’t welcome criticism or feedback from the artist if parts of your idea may not translate well to skin (I’m going to be talking about this in my next video). Meaning, you’re choosing that artist for a reason so make sure to hear them out if they have feedback or ideas to make your idea better. Finding the right artist for you is so important, so definitely take time to do your research. You’re putting a lot of trust in that person so this is not someone you just want to pick randomly and hope for the best.
