literally I was up for like 2 hours yesterday night just looking thru tattoos cause someone linked the trc ones but i really wanna get excelsior in fine script on the outer edge of my forearm !!!! that and the chinese character of my last name on the back of my shoulder + a few other smaller ones but those are like my major ones (side note though.. advice for handling pain for someone who has like real shit pain tolerance...)
thats 100% me and i love the concept of an excelsior tattoo, i bet itll be lovely
as for advice on handling pain, yall... i actually have a shit pain tolerance too and its Totally Survivable you’ll be ok!! yer basic tips are: stay hydrated / eat beforehand, deep/calming breathing to release tension, have a companion for hand-holding and/or verbal distraction
basically things that increase pain are stress and tension, so by keeping yourself otherwise occupied in a convo/having another tactile touch or making sure your body has no reason to be stressed, you will be saving yourself from extra pain
