Tattoo!

Hi guys! One short update post coming up!

So this week I finally got my first tattoo. Yay!! I started small. Got this cute Hebrew text on my bicep. And I thought I would tell you all about the progress and such.

Think about size. 

Big or small?

1. Think about what do you want. I had to really think about what I wanted. For me personally it took about three years. Yes, I know that seems really long time but you have to think what do you want to take with you when you die. Because you know the saying: " You can't take anything with you once you leave this world." But I personally think that tattoos are one of the few things that you can take six feet under, if you get my flow. So think, think and think. And please don't look your tattoo up from Google or something because then it won't unique. Put some thought into it.

Think about colors.

You can add the colors later on.

2. Find the right tattoo artist. Don't just go to a shop without looking up other options. Look through their portfolio and valuate their handy work. Don't just call the shop, visit it because only then you will know if the shop is clean and safe. Well of course you can never really know but you will feel it if they are pros or no's!

Make it your style.

Think about the design.

3. Pick the right time. Not just before you go to a resort with your family to some tropical country. No! Pick a time when your tattoo can take its time to heal. Everyone's healing progress is personal so the time it takes to heal depends completely on you. Of course sometimes it can be difficult to match the tattoo artist's and your timetable but hang in there.

Where?

Think about the location.

4. Get the agreed appointment and don't cancel. It won't get any easier or less stressful even though you move it further away. So just do it. Don't run away from something your want and don't it if you don't want it.

Many times!!

Check spelling many times.

5. Enjoy. It can be difficult so sit on a chair waiting for your tattoo be done but you have to hold onto your trousers and sit still. For some it hurts and for some it doesn't. Me, for example, it didn't hurt at all. My only problem was that my hand was getting numb but otherwise I had no problems at all. For me it was like little electric shocks and after it was done it felt like it was burning. But nothing you can't endure with a little bit of willpower.

Think about the artist

6. Take care of your tattoo. Love it.
