So for the record, I had gotten like 15 tattoos before I first started suffering from anxiety two years ago. I’ve only had one tattoo since then and I had to leave my appointment and rebook it because I got the ‘false poo feeling’ from my anxiety. That was a few years ago and my anxiety has gotten steadily worse since then. I also moved to the other side of the country. I just finished booking my next tattoo with a lovely girl that I’ve met through friends, she has amazing work and I’m super excited… but I’m really anxious about getting anxiety when I go in. I know from previous experience that I’ll be fine as soon as she starts the tattoo but I really don’t want to lose my deposit and embarrass myself in front of a new potential friend. Any advice?
