Thought I’d share some “wisdom” from getting tattooed while high, in case anyone out there is considering it. Spoiler: it’s not that deep, but here we are.

1. Smoking before the needle:
   Yes, weed can help you relax.
   No, it won’t make the pain go away.
   Yes, you will overthink the font choice mid-session.

2. Edibles vs. smoking:
   Edibles hit different. As in, you might start crying about your 7th grade math teacher mid-outline.
   Stick to a light dose unless your tattoo artist enjoys therapy sessions.

3. Smoking after:
   Totally fine, but don’t forget:
   – No picking or scratching your tattoo
   – No hotboxed bathrooms (moisture = bacteria = bad)
   – Avoid passing out face-first on your fresh back piece

4. Munchies:
   Salt, sugar, and regret are not part of aftercare. Eat clean, stay hydrated, pretend you’re responsible.

5. Final tip:
   Being high during a tattoo doesn’t make you cool. Neither does quoting Nietzsche in cursive on your ribs. But we all make choices.

Hope that helps someone. Or confuses them. Either way: good luck out there.
