Motivational Interviewing
#DearMe by mary lambert

I am a feminist. Iâve been female for a long time now. Iâd be stupid not to be on my own side.
Maya Angelou (via mylittlebookofquotes)
when your life is falling apart and you pretend everything is all good.
The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.
Friedrich NietzscheÂ
the main thing i look forward to in life is raising dogs w/ someone i love
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Love this man.
This is some powerful-ass life advice.
I know you donât care about words, but that was a lot of âLove" you just let slip.
1. Do your research when choosing a tattoo and an artist.
Donât rush yourself when choosing an idea. Youâre going to have to live with it forever.
Most artists have a speciality, think about this when choosing one. If you want a photorealistic tattoo donât choose an artist who specializes in American Traditional, for example.
Donât ask to have your neck/face/hands tattooed if itâs your first tattoo, you will most likely be denied.
Look into the cost of the tattoo before walking into the shop, donât sacrifice the tattoo you want to get a good deal. Save up to get the right ink.
Be prepared to be placed on a large wait list for the more popular artists.
2. Prepare properly on the day you get your tattoo.
Eat a full meal beforehand.
Many artists recommend drinking orange juice prior to getting inked.
Donât drink alcohol beforehand.
Getting tattooed is a pretty intimate experience, donât forget to shower.
3. Bring a good reference photo.
Bring in a high res photo if possible; at the very least a picture that is big and not blurry.
4. Donât bring your entourage to the shop with you.
Itâs fine to bring a friend to hold your hand, any more than one is rude and obnoxious.
Children are not permitted in most tattoo shops, leave them at home.
5. Trust your artist.Â
The artist knows what they are doing, there is no need to be a âbackseat driver.â
6. Check out the stencil design, body placement, and spelling before the tattoo begins.

If you see something, say something. You arenât going to hurt anyoneâs feelings if you tell them that something is spelled incorrectly.
7. Be prepared to go through some pain, tattoos hurt.
Donât be afraid to tell your artist that you need to take a break if the pain is too much. Nobody wants a passed out client.
Ribs, feet, hands, head, and the spine all really hurt.
8. Stay still!
We know that it might be difficult to do so, but make every effort to remain as calm and still as possible while getting tattooed. If you are jittery the artist wonât be able to create straight lines.
9. Tip your artist.
Most artists donât own their shops and have to pay a percentage of the tattoo price to the shop.
Tipping anywhere between 10-20% should be fine.
If you really love the work donât be afraid of tipping extra.
10. Take care of your tattoo once you leave the shop.
Tattoo aftercare is a crucial step in assuring you have a good tattoo.
Tattoos will scab and they should heal in 2-3 weeks.
Avoid sun and going in bodies of water for the first 2 weeks.
Keep the tattoo moist and clean as it heals.
Once itâs healed donât forget to use SPF 50 sunscreen when going outside, you donât want your tattoo to fade.

For future reference!
THANKKKKK YOUUUUUU
Basically
One MORE Thing! LOTION YOUR TATTOO!
LOTION THAT SHIT.
LUBRIDERM MOTHAFUCKA!
Or anything else unscented for sensitive skin.
Wait I have questions. If I get ink on my ring finger can I still wash the dishes?
Iâd say that if you get a tattoo on your finger, you should probably wear gloves while washing the dishes for at least two weeks or however long it takes for the tattoo to peel and then fully heal up. Youâre not supposed to soak a new tattoo for any length of time the first two weeks you have it. Plus, hot water will hurt like the blazes on freshly inked skin. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
