Hello Beauties,
I got a new tattoo 😍😍😍
So i had got a tattoo when tattoos were not a big thing here where I live. It was my first one. I had absolutely no plan in my mind. I went to the tattoo artist and browsed through some designs and finalised one. It was a pretty fairy sitting with her head down and her wings so colourful and beautiful. I had instantly fallen in love with that design. And I had a lot of expectations from the tattoo artist now. I don’t want to blame him but it didn’t turn out to be the way I had imagined. Tattoos definitely are an expensive affair and also so much pain that you go through. I finally decided to keep it the way it was.
Years after that day, I still couldn’t accept that tattoo to be on my body for all my life. So I finally thought of getting it covered up. Without any second thought i went to the tattoo artist who had done my second tattoo (and it is beautiful). We discussed on the designs which will best cover my tattoo up. We agreed on roses. It took him close to 7 hours to complete the tattoo. It pained just how it usually does for any tattoo. But the pain was definitely worth it. The results blew away my mind. I can’t thank the tattoo artist enough for the job that he has done. I have started to love my tattoo once again. And here’s a before after picture for you all. Let me know your views about it in the comments section below.
Also I would like to give few suggestions here that I have learned from my experience. It might help all you tattoo lovers just like me and specially those who are planning to get one soon.
- Do not hurry. Always take time to choose the design and choose wisely. Tattoo is something you will have on your body for life. Unless ofcourse if you plan to get it removed.
- Research your Artist. Be very careful about who you are trusting your body with. Choose an artist atleast a week in advance and take time to read about him or see his work on his website, instagram or Facebook page.
- Do not do it on the cheap. You are altering your body for life and that’s definitely worth an investment. It’s better than going for a cheap one and regret later.
- Do not stress. We all have heard stories about people panicking or even fainting while getting their first tattoo. Do not let all that bother you. It is always a good idea to take someone along with you to talk to during the entire process.
- After care. Follow the directions given by the artist about the after care of your tattoo. It is the healing phase and healing skin definitely needs care.
Make it a memorable experience. Have fun!😊
XOXO
