I got a tattoo?!

February 6, 2015.

That day will forever be the anniversary of my first tattoo. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! I went into town with Gorcynski and Espana. Gorcynski was planning on getting her fourth tattoo and I was just going along for the ride. But things happen and we ended up at American Art tattoo shop and I got my first tattoo.

I got it done by Jodean Sinner and I went in with a picture of what I wanted and then together we sat there and picked out a good font on the computer. She was really good about it because she didn't want the "J" looking like an "I" or a "G" and that was really cool. Then she was brutally honest about how bad it was going to hurt. I liked that though because it prepared me. Everyone told me that would be one of the worst pains of my life and boy were they wrong. She started out with the smaller lines so I could test out what it would be like. I remember thinking, "OH ... That's it?". And no, I'm not just trying to sound cool or what not I'm being honest! It basically feels like a cat scratching you for a while.The hardest part about the tattoo was focusing on my breathing because if I flinched at all I would have wiggles in the lettering and she wouldn't be able to fix it. So that kind of stressed me out but also helped me focus on something else besides the pain.

Overall, I'm so happy with how it all turned out and I love it.

Will I ever regret it? Doubt it, but if so I'll know that that is where I'm at in my life right now.

My advice for you: If you're having any question about getting your first (or next) tattoo, GET IT!
