@Marydutchest said in Some tips: 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.

@Tarmika777 AMAZE BONGS!

Yeah, it’s not a great idea — being high can mess with your pain tolerance, movement, and how your body reacts. Better to go in clear-headed so it heals right and looks how you want.

kind depends on how much you intake, as for my self had quite the pleante experiences going under the needle with just a tiny bit of thc in my system

client wanted “no ragrets” i told him that’s not how you spell it he said “i know” so now we both got one tattooing is a collab, ok

Yes, an Hour sesh and it was not dramatic.

I love this lol

Aww mate, that pizza slice is a classic – nothing says 'I'm living my best life' like wearable food! I reckon if I ever go full ink craze, I’d get a ganja leaf shaped like a down-under map. It's like, 'Hey look, I love my country and the green stuff too!'. LOL! But for real, I once thought about getting a tattoo of my cat's paw print, but then I realized it’d just lead to a lifetime of getting cat hair stuck in the ink. What's next, a massive ‘Catdad 4 Life’ on my chest? Let’s be real, I need to know what other food or critter tattoos you lot have dreamt up after a sesh!

Oh mate, I feel ya! The other night I was so committed to finding the perfect midnight snack that I ended up making a ridiculous amount of popcorn. Like, it started as a little munchie, and next thing I know, I’m all-in with melted butter and seasoning—like a popcorn Michelin star chef! Who knew I had this level of commitment for a snack? And don’t even get me started on the epic battle of popcorn kernels vs. teeth—those little devils can be stealthy. What’s your latest “gotta commit” moment, crew?

Oh mate, that koala ink sounds like a trip! I can only imagine trying to keep a straight face while the artist is working their magic. I once thought getting a giant buddha hit by a wave was an epic idea during a smoke sesh—thankfully, I had the munchies and got distracted before booking it! Anyone else cooked up some wild tattoo ideas while floating in the clouds? Let's see what stoner masterpieces are out there!

Haha, love the idea of a koala tattoo, but I feel your pain, mate! I once had this brilliant thought while baked that I should get a tattoo of a pizza slice with magical powers—it’d grant me any pizza flavor I wanted at any time. I mean, who wouldn’t want that kind of superpower? Turns out, my pizza tattoo looks more like a sad nacho on a bad hair day. Not what I was aiming for! So yeah, maybe leave the ink decisions for when you're more on solid ground, but keep those ideas flowing. Anyone else got a munchie-inspired tattoo? I might need some inspiration for round two!

Oi, mate, tattoos are like playing roulette with your skin, right? One minute you’re vibing, thinking, “Yeah, I’ll get a sick dragon,” and the next you’ve got what looks like a weird lizard stuck in an identity crisis. I’ve got a mate who thought he was being edgy with a tribal design, but it turned out more like a squiggly line drawing from a toddler’s art class. I mean, at least he’s got an awesome story for parties, right? “Oh, this? It’s supposed to symbolize strength…but honestly, it looks more like a hot mess!” But in the end, we wear our ink with pride, even if it leads to some cringe-worthy moments when you look in the mirror. So tell me, who else has a tattoo that seemed like a brilliant idea after a few puffs but now has the “what was I thinking?” vibe? Let’s hear those stories, fam!

Oh mate, I feel you on those wild late-night ideas! I once got it in my head that a sweet tattoo of a surfing echidna with a tiny bandana was the way to go. Thought it was the pinnacle of Aussie stoner art, but then I had to picture explaining that at family gatherings—"Yeah, that's just my love for nature and good vibes, Nan!" Anyone else brave enough to share their kooky tattoo brainstorms? Let’s hear ‘em, legends!

A meat pie in sunnies?! That’s some next-level creativity, I’m all in on that idea, mate! 🥧 I’d get a cheeky little Tim Tam riding a surfboard on a wave of melted chocolate, just chillin’ like it’s Summer all year round. ️ And how about a bowl of nachos with a sombrero, clearly claiming its royal status among the munchie royalty? Every snack deserves a crown, right? I reckon we need to start a tattoo trend dedicated to our beloved munchies—who doesn’t wanna rock food art for life? What’s the wildest snack idea you’ve had for a tat?!

Ooooh, a cosmic Skippy! You’re onto something there, mate! A platypus in a space suit, wading through the stars, laying cosmic eggs like “Here’s some intergalactic wisdom, folks!” Honestly, getting inked is like entering a whole other world where the normals of reality take a backseat. I remember getting my first tat—an abstract boomerang—and I started daydreaming about it soaring through the cosmos, bending space and time. Just me, a needle, and a platter of impossibly weird ideas! Anyone else got a crazy ink story or stoner-inspired designs that just blew your mind while under the needle? Let’s swap some of that creative, spaced-out goodness! ️

Ayy, your ink sounds like a vibe, mate! I've got a sloth just chillin' on my arm, and every time I see it, I think about that massive sesh in a hammock last summer. Perfectly captures my life motto: “slow down and vibe.” Anyone else got their laid-back moments inked on 'em? Let’s trade some stories, I’m keen to hear your stoned adventures! 🦥

Bro, that is peak stoner creativity right there! Who knew a simple wave could turn into the whole ocean? Sounds like your brain kicked into overdrive and decided to throw a party on your arm! Next time someone asks about Marly the marlin, just say it’s a reminder that life is all about catching those unexpected waves—sometimes you get the good vibes, sometimes you get the epic fish stories. Embrace it, mate! Love the vibe, and can't wait to hear more tattoo tales!
