When i got my tattoo it helped alot to not look at the process, just try to look away. Also, get a cd player or something with some tunes that will help you relax. If you're open to pain killers try some vicodin,or valium. But whatever you do, DO NOT drink alcohol at all that day, it thins out your blood.Try to stay away from caffeine as well. For me, it really helped to have someone hold my hand:)
Good Luck!

I have my artist play music while I am getting tattooed. Just got 2 1/2 more hours of work done on my backpiece last nite! Music helps me kinda zone out and not think about the pain too much. It helps me mellow out and relax.

what ever you do.. do not tense up, this will make your muscles tight and increase the pain. try some breathing excersises, focus on something else in the room, what ever it takes. once your edorphines kick in the pain wont be bad at all, not that it really is to begin with. This is why they say tattoos are addictive, its the endorphine rush that feels good.

My best friend and I just got matching tattoos when we went on vacation...I'm not one for pain, at least not a lot of pain, and it wasn't bad at all! Ours is about the size of a silver dollar, maybe a little more, and it is just the outline...I absolutely love it and it honestly didn't take long at all!! The best thing to do is breathe and sit still, or lay still, depending on where it is going...good luck!!

having someone to talk to takes your mind off the pain. So bring a friend.

Think of something else and not of the tattoo.

hit ur head really hard against a while just before they start to tattoo you... that way you will be thinking about how badly your head hurts and you wont even notice them doin ur tat
