Just got my first tattoo

[TheBabyEater]

I got a pentagram on my hip, I'll get a picture up later. He did this stencil...


And put it upside down. For those looking to get their first tattoo, I honestly just say go do it. It's not the end of the world pain, at least not for me. It kind of hurt when he got over toward the hip bone, but it just felt like scratching more than anything else. Hardest part was not moving. Being a former choir student, I'm trained to breathe from my gut, and I was told to breathe shallow. So, since it was hard not to move too much I just had to hold my breathe in order to stay still lol

I'll be getting this design on the other hip in a few months I think

(It's a Buddhist symbol.)


In total it cost me $60 (they have a $50 minimum, and because of where it's placed they upped it to $60) and took 30 minutes to fill it in and everything. It's healing nicely, just now starting to peel a bit. Should start itching a lot in a few days I heard

It may or may not itch. My first tattoo didn't itch, but my second one did
I like it, I bet it looks nice
