LIFE IN ROME | Let's get a tattoo? VLOG #2

in vlog •  7 years ago  (edited)


Hey there! Ever wanted a giant eagle on your back? Me neither, but that doesn't change a fact that watching how it is being tattooed is so much fun!
This weekend I popped by a tattoo salon to visit a friend and to film how he creates his masterpieces. What you see, is almost a 5 hour work and it is only about 1/5 of the entire tattoo. It is going to be HUGE!

By the way, the arms of the guy being tattooed are also done by Mauro, so you can get the idea what the end result will be - SMASHING!

What about you? Any tattoos you want to share?

Happy start of the week! :)

5 hours is a decent session! The longest I've sat for a tattoo is 6 hours and it was a struggle for sure, but there is definitely something undeniably addictive about getting ink!

woah, 6 hours of pain must bea real tough! But indeed, I also heard people say the same thing. That it becomes addictive! SO interesting. Mayeb for this reason I am a bit scared myself. What if I start and never stop? :D

Awesome as a tattoo artist my self. i love to see this on dtube

Life Hacks & Amazing Tricks and Tips

35 BATHROOM LIFE HACKS YOU'LL ACTUALLY WANT TO TRY

Getting your first tattoo should be a positive experience, although it might seem frightening at first since you don’t really know what to expect.

exactly, I still can't comprehend how one can arrive to such an important decision! :)

i think one should b passionate about it

true that! :)

never had a tattoo but i wants to have one after seeing your post...

haha, I had the same feeling. Once you see the process your mindset changes and you start considering of getting one. :D Same thing here. :D

i will share the photo with the community when i get the one haha

awesome! :)

My first tattoo was at 40 years old i opted for a traditional bamboo, in the end i got 2 done 19 hours in total in my hotel room. I alo ended up with food poisoning after the food my tattooist brought i think the oysters had been left festering in the sun all day. But i don't regret getting my tattoos done.

wow wow wow! What a story!! How come you were tattooed in your room? The guy came straight to you? That's cool. Sorry to hear about the food though. :D Any pictures to show off the final result of the tattoo?

I was on holiday in Phuket and my thai friend knew a guy who is a tattooist and works part-time after work so he came over to my hotel room and started to insert the bamboo into my body.

OMG this is amazing!!! He did the tattoo oldschool style, so so cool!!!!

My first tattoo was a year ago and I love it! I got so many different answers when I asked if it was gonna hurt or not, and it didn't hurt at all!

cool! I got to learn many interestign facts about tattoos while I was there. For example, I always thought that it hurts only when the bone is close to the skin but it turn out it also hurts in soft places as well. And then it all boils down to individual differences! You were lucky that it didn't hurt for you though! :))

I don’t have any tattoos, but would love to have one. The only problem that I didn’t make up what specifically do I want.

and I would say until you do know what you won't don' t get it. :) When the eureka moment comes then get it! :) We have such fantastic artists in Latvia too!

WOW! That looks painful! :D
Wheather seems nice in ROME!

It is! It' s around 13-15 degrees during the day, and lots of sun! Quite a contrast in respect to Riga! :D

Ohh... Now I would like to be there for a day! :D

This looks amazing! :) thank you for sharing this with us!!

Will you ever consider getting a tattoo??

Winny out...for now ;)

Thank you @myndnow!! :) I had an entire piece in the vlog on my views on getting a tattoo at first but then I thought I would leave it out. Long story short, I am cosnidering of getting one once my experience here in Rome comes to an end. And if it has been something truly lifechanging I think I will commemorate it with a tiny tattoo. :D What about you??

Yeah, I don't have a tattoo at all. I was thinking about it, but you really have to be 100% sure to get one. Maybe one day you will come and say to the group: "hey guys! I have a tattoo!!!" :D

Winny out...for now ;)

Haha, if that will ever happen then only after more than a year. I hope I am still around at DDaily then! Woud be so nice! :)

ouch! 😆

The pictures you made before were very sexy. This is art and not over the top at all... Very and interesting nice second vlog. You‘re really good at this and nice editing as well! Really cool short scenes I liked that.
I always love that “3D look” of a freshly made tattoo like when the skin comes up. Do you know what I mean? Although there you can see how painful it must be...

Thank you so much for your kind words! :) ANd yes I totally know what you mean, I like it too. I do feel bad for the guy who has to suffer through the pain though! :D

Did he say that it was painful at all to get a back tattoo?

Oh, he didn' t even have to say this to know it :D But yeah, he expressed the painful feelings :D

I like tattoos, I do have tattoos on my body "love the work of art the ink that gave to the skin" I have met my pain tolerance haha it's funny but I like it. I have some on my page feel free to visit.

awesome, will definitely check it out!! :)

Yeah! thanks for the ping!

The side of the ribs too!

That one does look a bit painful eek!

& I think your photography is beautiful @lostinhappiness!

Thank you so much, @axios! :)

This makes me want to get my second tattoo! Maybe not a big giant eagle on my back. ;) But hearing the hum of the needle is giving me that itch to get back in there.

I can totally understand it! I have no tattoos but even for me it sounded super tempting! :D
