My first tattoo! *pics* - March 9th 2010, 05:16 PM
I just got my first tattoo last Wednesday and I love it! I hadn't planned to get it that day, I just went in to get a price quote, but they guy said he could get me in right then. I was SO nervous because I usually pass out when I see blood or needles and I didn't have anyone with me to keep me distracted. And the guy wouldn't let me lay down for it! I was fine though. It hurt. Alot. But I stayed conscious the entire time--yay! lol.
I had a very specific design in mind since I was 15 (i'm 20 now), and they couldn't do my exact design but I'm happy with what I got. Basically what I wanted was a butterfly tangled up in barbed wire with frayed wings, just on the inside of my wrist. And what I wound up getting was a butterfly with frayed wings with a curly black line going around my entire wrist with stars around it. The main thing I really wanted was the butterfly with frayed wings part. Because it reminds me of myself--I'm a little broken on the outside, but I can still fly. (Corny, I know. :P)
And it was kind of funny, 2 days after that I had to go to the doctor to get my blood drawn and the whole tattoo experience completely disolved my fear of needles! I didn't even feel it this time, when normally I pass out (and usually more than once!).
Anyways, onto the pics! Ignore the fact that my wrist looks huge. It swelled up alot for the first 24 hours.

Side view again.

The view of the other side.

Inside of my wrist.

Life isn't about worrying,
That's a waste of time.
And life isn't about being perfect,
It will never happen.
Life is about finding yourself,
And finding people who accept that person.

Its beautiful!
And awesome that getting a tattoo dissolved your fear of needles, I guess the 'face your fear' thing really works then [:

Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
