Hypnosis!?

So Im really sorry I havent posted in FOREVER. I started Cosmetology school and things have been really hectic.


I had an amazing opportunity, and like the dumbass I am, I didnt take it. Someone offered an apprenticeship to me for tattooing. But when I thought about it, I realized that Im not emotionally stable enough to be in that kind of business, I dont think... well, I know I could handel it, when push comes to shove, but Im not even confident in my drawings, let alone to tattoo someone!!
So I decided to not take it. I hope it wasnt a big mistake, since it is sooo hard to find someone to apprentice you in the first place, and add on the fact Im a girl doesnt help much either.



But anyways....
I read this little article bit about a tattoo artist in Illinois offering hypnosis to clients so they wont be in pain while they are being tattooed..

The article can be found [HERE].

I thought it was slightly interesting. But I always thought that the tattooing process was half the reason to get a tattoo. I think if you are going to get inked, you should experience it. And if you cant handle it, dont put yourself through it! But I suppose it is better to work on someone who is calm an not in too much pain, instead of someone who is squirming around and bitching the whole time.
But I am kind of a sceptic when it comes to hypnosis but, when I read this article, it kind of changed my mind. Kind of weird though...
