the last person is actually a recovering addict and trying to get back on track! they're doing pretty good from what i've seen/heard but the eye tattoos can't be completely removed but the outer part that's red should be doable - which would mean that the black could be camouflaged as heavy makeup :)

Yep, tattoos can help with body dysmorphia so much! I hated my big thighs and I was ashamed of how I looked to the point I didn't wear shorts in summer even at home. I got my first tattoo on my hip/thigh and now I'm at home in shorts all the time because I love looking at my tattoo and I didn't just accepted my thighs, but I really like how they look now and I finally feel like myself. 💕

Something to think about with Body Dysmorphia and tattoos: It’s a great solution for some people but I’ve had plenty of people say it doesn’t change anything about the way they see their stomach ect. If it works for you that’s so so incredible but make sure you really want the tattoo because you want it, not because you think it will make you stop hating yourself.

While my Mom is still alive, my Dad died December 20, 1994 when I was 14. It's been 28 yrs and for me, as I know everyone is different on their healing process, that missing spot in my heart is still there. Those bad days tend to creep up on me out of the blue, but there's always to really good memories to help get through them. Such big hugs to all of you! ❤❤❤

That pinched nerve from the injection makes me mad. As a nurse I would never mislead or deny my patient information like that. She's clearly in Canada (I am too) and that was terrible patient care. I was taught to not lie to my patients about their own health. Pinching a nerve in an injection is a potential risk in which you educate your patient about before the procedure.

My stomach tattoo was a part of my healing process with my ED, having something beautiful to look at when I saw my stomach removed my attention from my negative view of that specific area of my body and instead drew my attention to the beautiful art I had there instead. It made me proud of my body and confident, and so many people told me that wasn’t healthy and that I shouldn’t have gotten a tattoo there till I could be ‘confident with my body’ I have no regrets to this day ✌🏻

My therapist said tattoos count as self care

I totally understand the horrors of catching something that should have just fallen. Worked at a place where we baked our own hamburger buns. Straight out of a 450 degree oven, my right hand twitched and I let go of the pan. Grabbed the pan with my left hand, and put it back on the rack. At least 2nd degree burns, had scars for a few years after. So much pain, I couldn't even sweep the lobby floor that night. But I learned that important lesson: some things need to be dropped, not caught. Love your vids, keep up the amazing work!!

It’s just how it goes. But I’m so glad your tattoo has helped you feel better about it!

YES Im exactly the same. I LOVED dyeing my hair but I started work experience so I couldn't really keep it dyed... So I got tattoos! Honestly, tattoos are the most amazing thing I've done. You can't see them unless I'm wearing a short sleeves t-shirt and shorts but, omg, they give me confidence. I'm so glad that people are more accepting of tattoos now and the place I do work experience at have nurses and surgeons with tattoos on their arms which show most of the time (except with patients). It's amazing.

That coverup for the barbed wire worked so well.

Please never stop doing this series 🫡🫡🫡

My tattoos give me so much confidence from being bullied from primary school right through high school they give me that confidence back that was taken from me

Lauren, I gotta say. The Christmas tattoo tiktok videos you've been doing, your hair and make-up are soooo good! Like, it feels like you've come in to your vibe, you know? So pretty!

Kind of related to the needle poke story; I’m a doctor and in med school one of my friends poked herself with a dirty needle by mistake. It was a big ordeal, the patient thankfully wasn’t infected with anything but she had to do lots of screenings and injections.

Tbh, any artist without back issues is rare

Had to pause because I literally just saw a hoodie on Pinterest that said "I have really cool tattoos under here, but I'm cold." 😂😂

Oof that story about the pinched nerve hits home. I have a chronic condition (H-EDS) that when I was growing up would cause my hip joints to be displaced while I slept, and it would happen in a way that would pinch a nerve. I would wake up weekly to the intense painful pins and needles spreading up leg into into numbness into a hollow ache in my hip. To fix it I had to manipulate my joint outwards then back into the correct place. The pain would fade away slowly and was replaced with a strong ache in my entire leg and foot I’d still feel the next day. Sometimes, when I couldn’t fix it I would have to try to get to my mom for help without falling over or waking anyone else up. She has lived with similar issues (likely the same condition) and so while she was still concerned, she kinda treated it like it was normal. For a long time I brushed it off. I think I just kinda realized now that it was probably a bigger ordeal to get through than I gave myself credit for. I’m really grateful that the person shared their story. 💕 It helped me to realize it was significant, and give my younger self some appreciation.

Last person - recovering addict plus was in a toxic relationship that led to getting face tattoo. There’s a pinned video on her profile explaining the situation

I love how u always remind us to "get comfy, get a beverage, etc." I have trouble relaxing (sry Cozy Demon 😝) when I'm watching KZread due to my anxiety disorder & this reminder is so important for me. 😜 Thx4 everything u do & HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!🧸💜☮

I got a scar cover up last week, and the amount of happiness and confidence that brought me is insane. I used to never wear v cut things because of the scar but now I don’t want to wear anything else anymore

I honestly am glad you're 1 of those that researches further. It's not boring. So many of us are curious & have to know the ending!! XD I appreciate that you look further Into how many parts are from a story.

I swear that the sugar skull tattoo woman was on an Inked magazine "mug shot tattoo" video from a little while back. Sounds like she's getting her life back on track so that's awesome, and all the best to her!

When I got my undead unluck tattoo on my shoulder I already started feeling better about my arm but when I got my most recent tat (a Star Wars wrap around, the same arm on the forearm)i rlly started to LOVE my arm?? I never thought I even disliked my arm other than a bit of flab but the confidence SKYROCKEDED

It could possibly also be because it’s a tribute to me surviving my self offing attempts?? Maybe letting myself admit and get past that era as well as a reminder just rlly helped?

I don't have body dismorphia, but I have had issues with my body image, but getting tattoos on my body, (especially my thighs), has helped me deal with said issues, is this the healthiest way to do so, probably not, but it's definitely healthier than some ways

I was so unconfortable during the hospital story time, cuz I'm a big hypochondriac and every time someone talks about, or I see it happen, something medical I feel like I am experiencing it myself...

Other heavily tattooed people I gotta know… Am I the only one who didn’t feel like my limbs were actually mine until each one was finished? I really hope I’m not alone.

I have those nervepains every single day because of a neuropathy. Plusside is that my bottom legs are nearly paralyzed. I didn't feel anything when I got my ankle tattooed! Going for full covered legs, and just chill for a few days on the table.

Love what you do. I get my tattoos so I can feel something, anything. It’s cathartic

Since learning about tattoo artists & hygiene practices, I’ve started noticing how improper some medical professionals are with their hygiene. I’m talking like the lab techs that are about to take my blood use the computer without gloves, then put gloves on, then go back to using the mouse and keyboard with the gloves on and then poke me. She moved so fast that I didn’t even register it until it was done, but ick.

I love my tattoos but don't ever wear clothes that show them off because I am so white and people ask me weird questions. Also judgment- I have a Dreamcatcher tattoo that I got as a memorial for my uncle who was Native American and apparently there is a lot of negatively with this type of tattoo...which I had no idea about until afterwards. I honestly got it because my uncle literally had dream catchers everywhere in his house and his car. Im certainly not a stereotypical person who does whatever is popular so I don't like being thought of in that way.

The body dysmorphia thing is real. I'm in recovery from an eating disorder so I got my navel pierced and it didn't fix everything completely, but it makes a huge difference

nerve damage is so scary 😭 when i got my wisdom teeth out they bruised a nerve and didn’t tell me, and i got it done on a friday so i had to wait until monday to call and figure out what the hell was happening - i was so scared bc i couldn’t feel half my lip and jaw

The girl with the forehead cover up was in a previous reaction video of yours. I remember the spider/skull thing on her neck coming up on her face.

I got a skin infection after my last tattoo because I scratched the skin next to the plasma screen and had to go to the urgent care.It was totally my fault for scratching next to it with long fake nails. I had to reschedule my next session. My artist was understanding. When it was finally finished it is amazing!

So little story time of my own ill make it brief. Funny how you talked about it being a natural reaction to grab things that are falling,, about maybe two months ago I was on a job installing someone’s new Washer and Dryer, and their setup was atrocious. Water damage everywhere, the old dryer wire was stuck in the outlet so we had to cut the breaker to unplug it and reuse it and I guess the breaker cut back on somehow or my coworker cut the wrong one, idk. Anyways the wire fell and I grabbed the open circuit and electrocuted myself 🤦‍♂️💀

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE PART TWO!

I once almost tried to catch a big knife when it fell off the counter. Thank god i realized that was a dumb idea before i actually grabbed it. Also i don't have body dysmorphia, but i do feel more at home in my body now that I've started getting tattoos.

Merry christmasssss

You looked great on your tik tok, walk like an angel bit, My sleeve should be finished April onwards, started in Oct, I can see me wanting to showing it off loads, its been covered so much this winter!! I think the sugar skill was forced to get the tattoo I may be wrong..

Your hair looks great

chiropractors are shady but physical therapists could help with back problems.

Oh my gosh, I know this video is old but as somone who wants to become a tattoo artist and also passes out with shots, the poking yourself situation is my absolute worst nightmare oh my goodness 😣😣😣 horrifying

I'm getting my next tattoo mainly for the way my thigh tattoo made me feel better about a part of my body I always hid away. I have a hereditary condition that leaves slightly darker raised skin in small circles all over and one leg is pretty covered. Going to get from my ankle to my knee completely covered. I wanna feel good about showing my legs again.

the nurse hit a nerve during my hrt shot, it just felt like someone poked my foot when it happened but when I woke up the next day i couldn't feel my foot. It went back to normal in a few days but it was a weird experience

15:34 you joke but my wife has MS and has had occasions where 1/2 is her body goes numb and if it ever happens again she will get a tattoo because she’s afraid of needles but would love a tattoo

I know this is a few months old. But that first video is definitely a set up and they know each other. You can just tell.
