Tattoos?

Post Reply New Topic

eye of the beholder my friend

I must have debated mine for around 10 years, now I feel embarrassed that I debated it at all. I hardly notice it is there most of the time, it just becomes a part of you, but when I do notice it, I absolutely love it.

I am sure some do, the sensory issues people on the spectrum have vary so tattoos might not be so bothersome to some while to others they could irritate sensory issues too much. I myself have thought of it before but not sure of anything specific I really want a tattoo of, but I can usually handle some amount of pain alright I have my ears peirced though havent worn ear-rings for quite a while since most of them seem to irritate my ears but the piercings are there if I want to put anything in them, but yeah barely felt it when I had it done.

I have three tattoos ATM, all on my right arm, and I'm planning on getting many more.

I can understand where the "aspies can't get tattoos" sentiment comes from- aspies tend to have a low pain threshold, but the "pain" of getting a tattoo isn't the same as, say, cutting your skin. Last piece I felt pain for about two seconds and then just numbness. When I was larger they hurt even less due to all the fat.

I love my tattoos

I've never heard the stereotype that "Aspies can't get tattoos". I have one of my own, but I got mine over my healed/faded self-injury scars where there's lots of scar tissue, so the amount of pain was minimal. I plan to get another over my other set of scars once they fully heal.

Yes, I've got a tattoo. I took the pain much better than I thought.

I don't have a tattoo, but I would like to get one some day. Used to be very indecisive as to what design I'd like until the obvious answer came: I'll design it myself, then find a talented inker. In terms of sensory issues, I do find certain textures more abrasive than other things but generally speaking I don't struggle much with this at all - I doubt the needles alongside any associated pain would be enough to phase me. I previously used to perturb my orthodontist over how calm I was dealing with some very beastly dental work. In any case, I reckon the most discomforting thing if I do get a tattoo will be the prospect of fumbling any small talk the artist might initiate and sounding like an idiot.

I am 18 and autistic, and I got a tattoo on my chest this year, it's symbol from a videogame that I used to love to play with an autistic friend, and I think it looks awesome

It is amazing watercolor tattoo!! ! I very like this kind of tattoos. I serve a lot at net and found a good site with watercolor tattoos "flowertattooideas" But the tree which your found is the best!! !
As for me, I haven't any tattoo yet. But when I decide to get it, I will definitely get a watercolor type

I got my first tattoo at the age of 36 (after working on designs for 18 months). At the age of 44 I became a licensed professional tattooist.

Been an artist since childhood, but it took maturity for me to appreciate human skin as an artistic medium, with a long (thousands of years) history and limitless potential.

Yes, there are bad tattoos in the world, but there are people who draw stick figures and there's Leonardo Da Vinci. The existence of talentless scratcher hacks takes nothing away from the existence of true art.

Tattoos are turning into somewhat of an obsession of mine.

I have a Twin Peaks design on my right forearm, an image of Bane from The Dark Knight Rises behind my right knee, and tomorrow I am getting a green mushroom on my left wrist from the Mario franchise.

I may upload them later.

I got my first tattoo when I was 18. It was of a round Celtic-like pattern on my left shoulder-blade. I didn't know I was autistic then. I'm 40 now and it still looks fine.

More recent tattoos were done 3 years ago - an NX-01 mission patch (Star Trek) on my left upper arm which is nice and colourful and a bright green puzzle piece on my right wrist - my mum likes that one.

Recently I got two more - a tiny semicolon cat, also on my right wrist, and a Greek symbol psi on the inside of my left forearm. That one was quite painful compared to the others.

I haven't thought of any more tattoos to get. I'm pretty happy with my lot.

I have some and i am intending to get many more! It has also turned into quite an obsession in my case, but thanks due to the lack of financial resources i cannot live my obsession as much as i wanted to

I got a tattoo January 12, 2018 after Christmas and I have High Functioning Autism but not Aspergers. I actually have excellent social skills, anyway I actually was the bravest person who got tattooed at that tattoo parlor. I was actually was always super brave!! Also, I only said “Ow!” once as in the very 1st time it went on my skin!

I don't have any tattoos yet, but I have ideas for some I'd like to get. Unfortunately, money's super tight right now so tats aren't my first priority atm.

I have four tattoos and I'm autistic. I have a white-footed mouse on my upper right arm, a hummingbird on my upper left arm, an American crow on my chest to the left, and a prairie dog on my left shin. None are visible if I'm wearing a normal shirt and full-length pants. I enjoyed getting the tattoos done and the images are meaningful to me. I got them when I was about 50 years old.
