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