my shitty experiance today posted : 07/26/09 at 06:02pm pst

hello my loves

how are all of you?

 

 

so my story of today

finally going to get new ink

that ive been waiting to get for soo long

 

i get to sit and watch my friend get his done and then its my turn

super happy , everythings all drawn up and im about to start

 

so he starts and everything is going fine and then i start getting sick

im hypoglycemic so i knew that i would need to keep my blood sugar up and all that so i made sure that i ate before and i was drinking soda and had some candy with me and everything but nooooo of course i get sick and it wouldnt stop no matter what i did

i couldnt keep going so now i have only 3 and a half birdies done

im getting a murder of crows on my arm

i have no clue what im going to do because i cant get like this everytime i go to get a tattoo.

what the hell am i supposed to do so i dont get sick

because it is the worse feeling ever and i hate it so

 

well yeah thats my little story of the day

my tattoo guy will be in jersey for about a month so i have to find a way to do something about this so he can finish the outline at least without me almost passing out

 

hope all is well with you guys

xoxo matilda

Awwww, I don't have any tattoos, but I've always worried that this same thing would happen to me if I did get some. Do you think this will happen every time or maybe it was just because your blood sugar was super low that day? You've gotten tattoos before and I'm assuming those didn't make you this sick, so maybe it will pass if you bulk up on sugar for a few days and give it another shot. I love bird tattoos! I can't wait to see yours.

i havent gotten any tattoos since ive been diagnosed as hypoglycemic

and i thought that if i ate and had sugar near me i'd be ok but didnt work out that way so i have no clue waht to do because i dont want to have to go through this again just so i can get the outline finished let alone all the other work that i need on it

eating a lot immediately before i get tattooed always makes it a more tolerable experience for me.

i was drinking soda while i was getting it done

there just has to be a way i can get through it without having to go through this

 

 

jager and mac and cheese

odd combo

What?! Well, honestly, I don't know much about hypoglycemia (not even sure if that's the right word), but maybe ask a doctor? That seems kind of silly, but I did look on google just now, I got curious, and didn't find much.

it just means i have really low blood sugar

and i mean the only thing i can find is eat,drink and thats what i did

and that didnt work

You should try those sugar tablets that diabetics take. You can get them at the pharmacy. Perhaps that would help gorgeous

Before I get tattooed, I always try to do three things:

1. Don't drink the night before

2. Get some good sleep

3. Eat a nice big meal at least an hour before going in

 

And in your case, I would bring some snack with you (such as trail mix, a sandwich, etc.), and maybe keep some sort of sugary energy drink on hand.  Hope that helps!!  :)

yeah i tried eating before ad i had snacks and sugar on me

 

soo i dont know whats going to happen

i might just have to get it done bird by bird who  knows

Hmmm...that sucks.  I know I got sick once getting tattooed, but it was because I barely ate beforehand and didn't drink very much water during and after the appointment.  Maybe getting it done bird by bird will be the best way to go.  Granted, it will take a while...but it's better than getting sick.

Is it painful when you get tattooed?  Maybe that's what's triggering it.  If so, perhaps you should try to take a minor painkiller beforehand...or a muscle relaxer.  Just a thought...

nope

i mean i was always fine until i got diagnosed hypoglycemic

all my other tatts i got done and i was fine

so i guess its just because of that

i just hate getting sick from it

its the worse feeling ever

so bird by bird right now seems like my best bet
