I’m a tattoo artist and I’ve had a few people drift off lately. As a professional, I actually take it as a compliment because it means they’re relaxed, but I’m curious, do people think we hate it? Ask me anything about the shop ‘green flags’ or ‘red flags’ you’ve been too afraid to ask your artist!
Guess I’m too much of a wuss to understand how you can fall asleep being tattooed.
Ever have a bad headache & decide to go to bed? I’ve had headaches that were more painful than getting a tattoo. If you’re getting a large enough tattoo, you’re relaxed, and the setting is comfy enough, I could see falling asleep a bit.
Haha, you’d be surprised! Once the endorphins kick in and the ‘rhythm’ of the machine starts, it can actually be weirdly meditative for some people. Plus, if it’s a long session, the body just kind of gives up and decides a nap is the best way to handle it!
Endorphins are miraculous.
Tell em!
