So sorry for your experience, my first tattoo was a cute newschool cupcake. My tattooer was a huge guy built like a brick shithouse and he was super sweet about the whole process and did a fantastic job even adding sprinkels and a really cool background free hand. Another shop i went to (the guy that did my first one was a guest tattooer from Russia) on the other hand they treated me like trash.. wanted a full Dragonball sleeve and they postponed my appointment three times, the third time they didnt even bother telling me and the guy just waved me off telling the receptionist to give me another appointment (which would have been in 6 months).. i was booked for an 8 hour session and had to take a day vacation from work. For nothing. So, there are some serious dicks in the industry but also some really good people.

I'm 17, been wanting tattoos since I was about 12, here in Ireland there's no minimum age for getting a tattoo, but of course, artists can deny you if they themselves believe you're too young and they don't feel comfortable tattooing someone they deem too young.

It fits into the larger harm reduction conversation. Do you provide tips on how to be more safe when doing something dangerous? For example, providing birth control and proper sex ed versus trying to discourage teens from having sex at all. Should you provide clean needles and narcan to addicts or does that encourage that behavior? I’m conflicted on the topic of tattoos. People will tattoo themselves anyways, so they should be safe. However, I really disliked that tiktok and it does seem like it encourages people to tattoo themselves. Idk.

True, i feel like hoping people will suddenly stop doing stupid things is a worse thing than things like harm reduction or making sure those who will do it regardless at least understand how to do it the safest way they can

The dude sleeping getting the neck tattoo could have passed out due to exhaustion! When i got a 6 hour half sleeve, by the end of it i was coming in and out of consciousness not because it didn't hurt, but because my body had gone through so much that even if it was stinging like hell i didn't have the energy to stay awake

Love your vids. As an artist, the guy ranting about "Pinterest tattoos" pissed me off SO MUCH lol. Sure I could also diss "pinterest tattoos" because so much artwork gets stolen online for trends and the result can look like a budget ripoff...but as far as I could tell that was not his point. EVERY example he gave was hyper-realistic. He seems like the kind of dweeb who thinks realism is an inherently better art form - It's not. It takes a LOT of skill to nail realism, but also it takes a TON of skill to stylize things in such a way that is eye-pleasing and unique. Good stylized artwork requires knowledge of balance, interpretation, line widths and requires many many studies. They are just different art styles. Wanted to shove that man into a locker when he said something like "Go outside and see what real things look like!" I'm so sorry but I would sooner tattoo "kick me" on myself than get a realistic portrait tattooed. Sure, I admire the skill, but in my tastes it'd just be creepy having something "realistic" on my skin. I don't want to look in a mirror and see someone else looking at me LOL. A stylized image of an animal feels more classy and representational than a straight up photo-real duck. If I wanted to see a real duck, I can look at a photo or go to the farm - a stylized duck has the artist's unique interpretation and can suggest personality, movement, culture, and so many more things photo-realism can't. LOL rant over but it's such a narrow-minded and boring way of looking at art I could not stand being in a room with that guy he'd make me SO mad oh my god I'm imagining him saying something like "Van Gogh was a terrible artist because his work wasn't realistic enough" 😂😭 Also have to agree with others about the person giving advice for tattooing at home. I super, super agree that no one should tattoo at home, and in some ways I could see how describing how to do it sets a bad example. But I feel like a lot of people who have it set in their mind would do it anyway even if told not to, especially if they are attracted to tattooing to rebel, are going through hard times and impulsion as a result, they "don't care" if they hurt themselves, etc - telling them ways to make it safer could potentially prevent huge damage. Similar to how abstinence-only sex and drug education doesn't statistically help; but telling people the facts about safety greatly lowers the numbers of teen pregnancies and drug-related deaths. If someone is going to tattoo themselves anyway, I would much much rather they be as safe as possible.

everytime i get a new tattoo and need to peel off the sandierm i’m always saying “treacle wouldn’t want me to do this all dry, i’m better than that!!” and i go in the shower lol

And theres me thinking the Twilight tattoo said "Bath" "Hybe" 😅

I actually love the tiktok where the person said hey i’m not a professional and gave advice on how to do it safely. I love Lauren’s content but I feel I always disagree with her when it comes to at home tattoos (which is fine!) but I’m finally leaving this comment because I think it would be a good conversation starter if Lauren saw it! That specific tiktok is a WONDERFUL example of harm reduction principles! For context I am a harm reduction nurse lmao and this is a weird back door into how I think about things. Telling people not to do something has historically never worked because it’s just not how we are wired as humans (eg. abstinence, war on drugs, anti-abortion) even IF that thing is bad for us. Similar to how people consume drugs for different reasons, people also tattoo at home for different reasons and they will do it really no matter what - soooo the best we can do is harm reduction! Encourage safe supply, safe use, as well as how to look out for signs of infection etc. Principles of harm reduction can apply to a lot of different public health measures 😁

The safety and sanitation is important of course - (and shes encouraging it) but the rest is probably arbitrary "how it should be done" projections that are exclusionary of a lot of ways tattooing is practiced.

Every tattoo doesn't have to be some super original dark and brooding photo realistic line work. Sometimes people want shit you think is too common, minimalistic or stupid when it has much more meaning to them. You're not getting it on your skin, so why the fuck do you care? It's none of your business. It's just petty and childish to sit and judge people on their ink like that, no matter how dumb you think it is.

I know! I have a collarbone tattoo where the girl got hers done and it was absolutely one of the least painful tattoos I have.

I agree. I was expecting my chest piece to hurt the most, it only felt like burning more than pain. My hand though.... Absolutely terrible 😂

Thank you so much for all of your hard work

I'm yet to be told by an old person that my tattoos are permanent. I would act all chocked and even try to squeeze a little tear or two.

That mother and daughter tattoo feels like the mother is depressed and puts a heavy burden on her daughter My friend life was warped by her mother letting her know that she was what kept her alive. It's not cute. It's terrifying.

Yay! Currently my favorite series on the KZreads ♡ You look amazing as always 💖

I absolutely love your tiktok response videos I’ve followed you for years and these are super fun to watch!!!

I’ve watched At least a dozen of your videos overnight and they are very nice, and your overall positive spin on things is refreshing. I got my first tatt for my sweet 16 from parents in 1992 and still love it. I’m about 20-25% covered at age 45 with no regret.

My mom took me to get my first tat. It’s so nice having tatted parents cause they both are understanding and encouraging when I get them.

You always make me excited about tattoos Lauren love you so much you always have awesome content your an amazing stunning person

Omg but imagine the taste of the ink in your mouth! Blech! Also the scabbing!?!?! The idea of it gives me shivers

I love these, don't stop making them!

Ok but tell me how that duck and that shark ended up in the same body of water?

About Dads signature, I mean the kids already look at professional tattoo artists and go: "yeah I could do this on my gross bed with a sewing needle" so her at least going out and saying: "if you're going to do this at least fucking be sanitary" so i don't think she's doing real harm compared to the idiots who don't explain the process. Also just put down deposits for an impromptu trip to Amsterdam to get inked by a killer artist

Actually the Twilight novels have a very real and harmful impact: specifically on the Quileute Tribe of La Push. The novels very much mangled their sacred history and stories, which are incredibly important to them and their identities, but it also, against their wills, made their home a tourist trap. This hasn't lead to increased revenue, but rather trashed land, fetishism to their faces, and other disgusting behavior by people obsessed with Twilight and forgetting the Quileute are Real People. I get you're British and far away, but it's important to realize that words on a page have a profound impact on real people. Bella and Edward may be ultimately harmless, but the real world impact Stephanie Meyer had on a marginalized, poor community is in no way something we can brush off.

I could watch these for hours 💝 love you Lauren! 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Always love these reaction videos More to look forward to 🥰 x

I think you should make whatever videos you enjoy making!!! These are definitely my favorite though 😍

I showed my boyfriend (who has no tattoos) my outer thigh piece a few days after it was done and he touched it. Had to explain that it stays sore for a while 😂

I saw the one with @psychara and I got so excited! I love her tattoos and her style.

This is a fantastic series! Keep doing it!

I paid for both of my daughter’s very first tattoos. My then 17 yo designed a flower with my name and her sister’s name above & below it. My then 16 yo got an infinity symbol with her great grandparents names in it for a memorial tattoo. I have always stressed the importance of making educated decisions when it comes to tattoos.

I think that people are gonna give themselves tattoos at home no matter what, a girl at my school did it in class with pen ink and a needle. So if they’re still gonna do it, at the very least I want them to know how to do it right and safely.

When I get a new tattoo, it's a religious experience. Some piercings I get is the same feeling just not as long. I always have a good meal the night before and a few hours before. I could easily fall asleep while getting tattooed but I always have a good time talking with my tattoo artist. My chest, the area behind my ears, back of the neck, and the tattoos on my wrists didn't bother me much at all.

Same. I literally come into the studio so prepared and I enjoy the ritual of cleaning whilst it heals. And then there's my friend who insists on TWISTING her new piercings and won't stop fiddling with them 😤

How'd it go?

These are my favorite type of videos of yours :)

Holy shit that full body suit truly is a masterpiece. What a trooper. All that black makes that center piece pop, too.

Also, I’m 30 and always loved twilight lol. The first movie is my comfort movie haha

I would literally get the twilight finger tattoos in a hot second...I love it

Always a good day when you post a video!

the 444 tattoo i legit thought it said "AAA" because of lauren going "aaah" while they ripped off the saniderm lord save me

I complained to my boyfriend about my itchy spine tattoo and out of habit he went "oh wait let me scratch it for you" and I have NEVER jumped away from someone so fast, he knows not to touch my fresh tattoos but that was just to much of a habit for him😅

it would be fun if there was a way to stream you watching a heck ton of these to dwindle down all the backed up videos lmfao

When it comes to at-home tattooing and that person giving the disclaimer about doing so, I kind of think of folks giving that sort of advice as a form of harm reduction. In other words, I see that as someone saying like "ideally you would not be doing this at all -- but I know that if you want to do it, you're going to do it, so at least here's how to do it as safely as possible", which I can sort of get behind.

“She gave me life” on the daughter...

Yoooo I just got hired at a new job today so I can work on my patch work sleeve ✨ I plan to get Dio Brando on my left arm. So the hiring manager was really freaking awesome and he had SLEEVE TATTOOS. He told me my dream to be a piercer/ body modification technician was awesome and he hopes I get to live that dream 😭😭😭 also it's fast food so I'm ready to hear "Why would you do that to your pretty skin" "did that hurt" and "you realize that's permanent?" But I can't wait to hear "I love your ears!" "I love your jewelry!" "I want a tattoo like yours" and "hell yeah a fellow tattoo lover!" 😂😭 I love gabbing on about body mods with customers. I even got a business card from a woman bc her husband is a tattoo artist and she's a piercer when I used to work for McDonald's. She was thrilled to hear I wanted to be a piercer and that if they opened a shop in town, she wanted to train me!

on the question about ppl touching my tattoos, I'm so lucky to have friends who always ask first

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who unironically liked the first twilight

I want a snek, not a snake kthxbai

that forest sleeve is so gorgeous

I feel like you haven’t done a video like this before ? 😂 haha keep em coming 😂

Nobody has ever poked or slapped my tattoos but when my wife got her sleeve done our cat fell from a cabinet and scratched her freshly tattooed arm.
