Posting this to see if any other A typicals have ink and how you found the exsperiance as I'm a little bit nervous not gona lie. Going for some Norse mythology and getting the AWE protection rune along with the 9 pointed triangle of the 9 realms of Valhalla along with the tree of life and the all knowing and all wise ravens. Bit nervous about the process as being an A Typical myself my mind always go to worse case saniorios and I always over think the prosiger. The pain is really the least of my worries my main concern is if they go deep or catch vane which is kind of ironic coming from someone who self harms. But then again that's my reason for getting it to prevent me from self harming in the future. Any advice would be useful besides don't get one I guess.
You know, when I wanted to have my first tattoo, I decided to have a really small one. I just wanted to know how it would feel and look in the end. So, my first tattoo was one of the Iranian Tattoos, which meant “a warrior who never gives up.” I have it on my leg. Then I had another one and another one. Eventually, I have my legs and one arm completely tattooed. None of my veins have been injured because I chose a reliable specialist. So, I have some advice for you: try something small first and find an expensive reliable specialist.

LOL. This is a hugely underrated comment!!! Thank you :)
That's a bit unnecessary isn't it? Why bother even clicking on the thread if you find tattoo's so offensive. I thought this was a community where we support each other and not pass personal judgement because you find something distasteful.

Oh no, I'm confusing qualification and conviction.
CB has a qualification in that!
I thought it was Gona be like the dentist you know that horrible feeling and sound of the drill as that's what I can't stand but nah it was so much more calming and soothing than I thought. Although I'm bringing headphones along next time but yeah it's not as bad as I built up this is the thing I find frustrating about my autisum and why I can understand why do others too as you always overthinkik and over anlise everything then when you force yourself to get it over with you realise actually it wasn't so bad. It's just about breaking out of that mentality and mind set
That sounds amazing and so pretty I bet there really gorgeous to look at. I'm not sure if I could sit there for that long without having a meltdown but one day I'd like a butterfly or something like that :) or maybe a Tardis lol
Oh yeah the pain was nothing was a fairly straight forward process you feel woosey like but that's it
Healed nicely I need like 3 areas touching up where the scabs came off to soon but besides that it's all good
Depends on the size my 1st one covers my hole four arm but that was a Norse desighn so rune based the only blocky part was the raven but my next one consists of a lot more shading and detail. Coi fish and dragons so lots of scales bamboo leaves and lotus blossoms that kind of stuff
I mean... that's never stopped me before... ;-)
A full day? Omg why's it take so long? I have read before that people find it therapeutic but it's always looked really scary to me lol ... How many do you have so far? And how many do you want? :)
Doesn't hurt as much as you'd think it's kind of therwputic the chizle needel feels the nicest. But it doesn't go in as deep you think barely scrapes the surface. My next session is a full day from 10:30 till 5:30 then I have two more of those to do spread out over a month. 1st one only took 2 hours
I like tattoos some of them are really nice like works of art. I personally wouldn't get one because I'm to much of a baby lol but if I wasn't I'd probably get a butterfly on my arm or a heart ;)
lol nah mines pretty unique no basic *** tats for me. I realised this was from two months ago back when I wasn't or assessed or didn't know I was ASD lol
Sorry PR, too good not to post this!
Full disclosure, I am considering getting a tattoo, before the haters pile in.
Going in for my next on the 4,th of February for a full Japanese sleave Coi fish and dragons. Dragons and Coi fish both represent strength and wisdom so hence the choice and a few lotus blossoms and bamboo leaves in the mix I got my tattoo done to represent my fight with my autism adhd and my disprixa it represents the fights if faced along the way with way and I got the rune protection because I use to self harlm to remind myself im stronger than I realise
How do I post images from my mobile would of posted it but I got the Healm of AWE done Odens raven Odens knot with healthheilm rune in the middle rune of hell to represent my autism. Just cause to me it feels that way times and an abstract map of asgsurd undeath
Weird first tattoo PR but I'll support you in whatever you do.
I’m excited to find out… did you go for it in the end? I LOVE my tattoo. No regrets at all.
