Interesting story of how I got inked. About 4 years back suddenly one day I showed interest to get inked, have a tattoo on my wrist. My husband had a tattoo many years back. I was always against tattoos. I used to say it’s just for show off and the stuff like that.
First thing which I did after decided to get inked is, found a good reliable, experienced tattoo artist. After serching the internet finally found one. I paid 200 bucks at the time of booking my appointment with the tattoo artist.
I was so excited, but at the same time scared. Scared of how much pain I have to bear while going through the process of getting inked and after care. I keep on talking to people who have tattoo on their body. Making me sure that its safe and I don’t have to go through much pain. I was not sure whether I will be going to get tattoo done or not. I started searching for videos of people who got their first tattoo and their experience. Some said there was not much pain others were bothered with pain. I was so confused.
Another important thing is to choose a design which you wish to get inked. Its very difficult to choose. Google will provide you enormous answers and images but you have to choose according to your own preference and choice because it’s your body where the tattoo will remain throughout your lifetime. Choose wisely.
Now the day came, on which I was having appointment with tattoo artist. I didn’t got the courage to go after watching so many videos. Actually I was scared of needles. It gave me enough reason to withdraw my decision of getting tattooed. Another reason was aftercare and risk of having infection.
Internet provide vast information, sometimes we got confused when we get abundance of knowledge. What to do. My 200 bucks got wasted. I gave so many reasons not to get inked.
Another year passed. Again I got interested to get inked. This time I didn’t watched any video but searched for which design will be good as my first tattoo. Again paid 200 bucks to the same tattoo artist for booking appointment. This time I ask him I paid you last year 200 bucks will it be adjusted when getting a tattoo from you. He said yes it will be adjusted in final payment. I was thrilled. This time it was not pain which stopped me to get inked. It was the fear of after care, risk of infection which stopped me to get inked.
Now 400 bucks got wasted. In year 2022 I started my weight loss journey which gave me strength. I feel better. More healthy more strong 💪. I keep questioning myself why I didn’t have the courage to get inked. This year definitely I will get a tattoo on my wrist.
This time I choose another experienced tattoo artist with 15 years of experience. Booked an appointment for Sunday but can’t wait and had my tattoo done on Thursday itself. This time I was sure. It was a great experience. My husband went with me to the tattoo studio. I was holding his hand all the time while going through the process and pain. My tattoo was done by THE TATTOO SHOP, NEW DELHI, INDIA. The ambience was so nice and hygienic. They use new imported needle for my tattoo. Kept me motivated with kind words. Light music was playing. I really enjoyed, it took 30 min to tattoo get done. Before that, we took 15 min to choose the design. The Tattoo artist tell me about the aftercare. I have to be careful for 30 days.
I got my first tattoo on 21 Sep, 2023. Yeh!! So happy.
