GETTING MY FIRST TATTOOS.
The day after my 26th birthday I got my first tattoos. Plural.
I went for simplicity with the design on my wrist and just had the outline of the jigsaw piece - but I wanted a little more detail on my arrow, so I asked Alex to put some light purple shading through the feathers. What do you think?
I've popped a few snaps below of the tattoos a few weeks after I got them done too, so you can see them more clearly now they're on the mend:
I'm head over heels in love with both of them. From the positioning, to the style, to the size and the colours - they are both just very, me.
I'm so thankful to Alex for being such a champ and to Jamie and Charly for coming with me as support.
I couldn't recommend Alex enough and hope if you're local to the area you'll pop in to see how truly incredible he is first hand.
I'm actually thinking of filming a video on the process from deciding what you want to actually getting it done and the aftercare - would that be something you'd like to see?
In summary, it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be. It's one of the weirdest sensations I've felt, but even the 'pain' on my wrist was bearable. The adrenalin 100% enables you to push through any feelings of discomfort, and it's totally worth it for the end result.
I think I might've even caught the tattoo bug too..what shall I get next guys? I was thinking maybe a fox... ;-)
