Getting my first ink in 20 minutes. :)

I was a tattoo artist for 10 years (don't have much time for it any more).....but honestly its not as bad as what most people think. your arms are the easiest place to get them on pain wise.

advise wise, don't focus on it if it hurts....find something to talk with the artist about and before you know it you will be done. try not to jerk around because you don't want an ugly looking tattoo from wiggling lol.

of course make sure that everything the artist pulls out is clean sterilized equipment and that the needles are brand new removed from blister packs right in front of your eyes.

as for after care, do not scratch or pick at them. when taking a shower do not let water spray directly on the tattoos. pat dry when done...not rub dry. use A&D ointment on them for 3 days....make sure it always stays shiny.....if its not shiny then its dry and dry is no good. after 3 days switch to a NON scented white lotion.

and of course.....make sure it what you REALLY want....because its permanent lol
