Forum Discussion: Aah, the Soothing Buzz of the Tattoo Machine

Sunday May 21, 2006
tattooedcat writes: This going to sound strange, but I am currently struggling with depression and recently got my second tattoo and we are working on a plan to add on and touch up my original tat. Well, when I had my second tat done, I realized how relaxing the sound of the [machine] really is. All the starts and stops - it is like riding in a car for some people - I would love to find a way to record that on a CD to be able to listen to when I am really stressed and struggling."

Yeah. It’s been a while since I’ve gotten ink, and I miss that sound. The pain is part of it but it’s the sound that I long for.
