Tattooing as a Meditation

 

Hello Everyone! In today’s blog I would like to share with You one of my latest observation about tattoooing.  I hear a lot from our customers at Vadelma, that for them getting a tattoo was in fact kind of meditation practice, or thanks to the meditations techniques ( typically breathing patterns ) the tattooing itself was in fact preatty good and pleasant. Either way, it is worth sharing it with You. Interested? Let’s go!

 

Tattooing as a Meditation

 

Meditation – we hear that term a lot, it is everywhere from TV, social media influencers to self-help books. It means different thing for everybody, but usually the fact of being present and in the moment – right here and right now – is a common part of definition. Such an situtation like tattooing could be a nice trigger for that purpose. We need to stay still, don’t do anything and try to be relaxed as much as possible. For many of us who live in a fast pacing city, or has such a lifestyle. Keeping the body still, and not work, not cheking emails, watching something and be on our own for sometimes even few hours – would be an experience we haven’t had for a long time. And You know – it feels sooo good. It is good to disconnect from time to time. That’s why from what I see – getting a tattoo is suprisingly good at it.

 

Meditation as a help to handle the session

 

Let’s take a look on the case from other perspective. As many of You know – getting a tattoo might be sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes a bit painfull, but when You started – You have to finnish it. Well, You don’t need to finnish at the same day, we can alway split Your process to multiple sessions, but You know what I mean. Here is where the meditations comes extremly handy! Our brain can focus on one thing at the time. And we can direct where our focus goes. So, if You choose to count Your breaths, think about something other than the place where needle is touching Your skin – all simply follow some easy pattern of breathing, like 4 seconds in 6 seconds out.

Magically, the pain and all the uncomfortable atributes of a tattoo session – goes away. Really! Plus, the times flies. Maybe, it is not easy at the beggining, but hey, what is? But, with some practice and patience, You can master it and have a tattoo session ( and life in general ) as nice as it could be. As many wise guys in the history used to say – “You can’t change the situtation, but You can change the way You react to it”. Or something like that.

 

That’s all for today

Thank You for Your time. I would highly recommned if You would consider some kind of meditation practice while Your next tattoo session. It will help for sure! If You think about it – well – the tattooing could be in a way a good metaphor of life. But, we’ll talk about it next time.

 

Love,

Simon
