Anxiety getting a tattoo

Mental health
1

Hi guys,

Tomorrow I will be getting the start of a calf sleeve tattoo and I couldnt be more scared! Pre-anxiety I was fine and had already got one but now post-anxiety I am having terrible thoughts and last night I couldn't sleep. I'm not so scared of the huge life decision its more of the pain factor and having a panic attack mid-way through. I was wondering if there were any people out there that have had tattoo's and suffer from anxiety?

thanks

I'm sorry but I just have to ask........why on earth would you want to put yourself through this?!

A whole load of reasons, the art, the look, the reasons behind getting, and also it's about over coming anxiety and not letting it stopping me from doing what I really want. It went great by the way

Well done you! Feel the fear and do it anyway! Great attitude to have!
