The Lo Down - My Tattoos

Hey Guys and Doll,

I like tattoos, I feel like every one has a story to tell. I didn't get one until a couple of years ago when I started experiencing my mental health issues. I waited a while to get one as I always thought they would be very painful but I was wrong.

I now have two tattoos, a star behind my ear and a saying, Ohana from the Disney movie Lilo and Stitch on my wrist. I love them both lots. I got them done in Wildcat Ink in St Stephen's Green Shopping Centre. I like getting my ink done there.

Both of my tattoos took less than an hour to complete and cost €60-€80. I'd definitely recommend researching what tattoo you want to get wisely. The last thing you want to do is to wake up in a couple of years time not liking what you got and thinking what the world you were up to all those years ago. A obvious one one is to not scrub the tattoo with water for a week or two after getting it done. Lastly  always apply some Tattoo Goo which you can get in your tattoo parlour or vaseline to your tattoo to help the healing process and to keep the colour vibrant.

I'm looking into getting two tattoos next week and I'm soo excited. I'm thinking about getting the moon and a sun symbol on both my arms. They're going to be pretty small so I can keep them covered. I also want to get a robin in the future as they always remind me of my Aunty Kate that passed away when I see one I always think of her.

I'm happy how both my tattoos turned out. I hope my next two tattoos are just as good.
