So, I just learned that not everyone can just drown out their pain with a good song. However, I have relied on this ability to get through everything from tattoos to laser hair removal to kidney stones to child birth.

For me, I put on my jam and kind of slip away into an almost trance-like state where I can still feel pain, but I can ignore most of it more or less. I can only tell how much pain I'm really in if I am suddenly jolted out of the trance-like state. If I get really into it and start singing along rather intensely, I can ignore even more pain.

But, like I said, apparently not everyone can do this. Can you listen to music to deaden whatever pain you are going through? And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

It helps to think of a worse situation, like if I have a headache I imagine what it would be like to have a headache and be stuck inside a cave without a light source. Whatever idegaf lol The age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded, and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever.

its not about being self aware. as you still aware its happening.


but to answer OP. yes i can music helps a lot.

but overall when i go through tattoos (as i have a lot) i mainly meditate to get through difficult times. and switch off from anything around me. its pretty much only time i can do this. one of reasons i enjoy getting tattooed. as i can just concentrate on that and everything else goes.

Maybe a little when I exercise . The music serves as a distraction.

Yesss, forgot about that!

Bleed it out by Linkin Park let's me push past the pain and get to that wierd phase where it doesn't hurt anymore lol. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

It's easier to be distracted when you live in the moment is what I'm saying. I wouldn't need to be distracted from something like an injection because I know the pain is only temporary. On the other hand it would be hard to be distracted from kidney stones because I'm aware of how serious the situation is.

That's fair.

Tbh, I don't know why or how it happened as I just assumed everyone could do it and I'm not sure if it is something people can just learn to do. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

How tf do you meditate?

easiest way to just concentrate on breathing. and do it slowly. thats easiest way to get into it. obviously dont start it while getting tattooed that wont work. its just concentrating on yourself and your own body. so whats going on around you just pretty much fizzles away. i started doing it before getting tattooed. then used it while getting tattooed on some tricky places. and now 10 years later, meditating during tattoos is when its at its best.
