Let's talk about tattoos...

I have always wanted a tattoo
I've probably asked FB a billion times what artist I should go to BUT every time I'd chicken out..
I knew what I wanted
I had wanted it since I was 15 years old..
 
 
A horseshoe!
we grew up with horses and ponies at my grandparents house so I knew someday I would have a permanent shoe on me.
(one time our miniature pony walked on my foot and I had a temporary horseshoe shaped bruise...)
See Leona Lewis' tattoo above and that was the closest horseshoe to what I was picturing.
I always wanted it on my foot but as I got older I said YOLO lets get it on a more visible area.
 
The problem..
NEEDLES
I hate them!
my body HATES them
I pass out always
belly button pierced = passed out
flat on the floor
colonoscopy = passed out
BTW a colonoscopy is the worst
I had one about 4 years ago, family health issues, so its nice to be proactive
but seriously..
 


^ they put that needle IV thing in my arm and sent me to the waiting room to well, wait. hahah
imagine being weak with hunger and deadly afraid of needles
I passed out 4 times that day...
I hit my head on the wall and I fell on the ground 4 TIMES..
awkward....
 
So for me to get the nerve to finally do the tattoo was huge!
and really that's it!
my sister and I went together
see below for photos! :)


pre tattoo, naked skin!^
I look like garb, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I was about to puke...





^ I went first because I was SO scared


I had my vomit bag, I said I would def pass out..
turns out I was CRAZY
It barely felt like anything
I feel so silly for waiting 15 years lol
maybe its because I gave birth and after that scary insane birth story anything feels like a walk in a park.. I really cant say for sure.
but if you are hesitant and its something you really want I say GO FOR IT.
 
 




then it was my sisters turn^


I don't know if its her youthful skin or the fact that I went first so hers was perfected but my sisters looks SO much better than mine! hahahah
its actually hilarious
however, its the meaning behind it that matters to me
so I cherish that little distorted ink!

  1. The sound of the needle in the video... that would give me nightmares! Good for you for doing something you'd wanted for so long! Love that you guys went together. :)

  2. I have two tattoos I want, but it freaks me out... not the commitment or having it etched on me forever, just the potential pain!

    I just had my septum pierced and it didn't hurt much, but when I sat up after I as so light headed, nauseated, and dizzy for the next 15 minutes... I'm worried how my body would react to the tattoo experience! O_o
