Today's post is about my new tattoo! Yes! I had a tattoo done last Saturday. It was done at a Tattoo shop at City Square, Johor. It's located in the Innercity of the shopping mall. It's a Level 4. My tattoo's done by a lady, her name's Lictor. Tattoo was done at $350RM.
Here's their website: www.truehatetattoo.com .
Anyway, never did I imagine I would have the courage and guts to have a tattoo done as I'm afraid of the pain I'll have to go through. Well, in the end I did. Here's what happened.
Darling, Jay and Jay's gf , Eunice and I went to City Square to hang out and chill, have dinner... On the way there, when we were still stuck at custom, we were talking about Darling's new tattoo and I was telling them I wanna have a tattoo done but no courage, scared of the pain. They said, Aiya, later go the tattoo shop and have a look first.. See whether you can find any designs you like then see how.
Darling suggested that if I'm gonna have a tattoo done, its better for me to choose tribals. They look more classic and won't become outdated. Darling also said that one tattoo is enough. Cause if you have alot of tattoos, you'll end up looking like Ah Beng or Ah Lian instead of portraying the Art of Tattoos and I agree with his saying.
Anyway, during the drive to City Square, I was considering all the while thinking whether I should just pick up the courage and just go for it. But I was really scared man! So Darling said, it's ok, just go and have a look first. Have an idea of what you wanna have when you've got the courage to have it done.
So after we reached and had our meal at Seasons, we went to the Tattoo shop and I started flipping through the files, looking through all the different kinds of Tribals. Saw many nice ones but one design caught my eye. Guess what happened next?
No... I did not agree to have a tattoo done immediately. hahas.. The thing is, we started using the tracing paper to trace out the design and started designing an X in between the tribal. The tribal has a V shape-like pattern which is able to represent my name's first letter, V.
The X, is actually Darling's name's first letter, X, Xavier.
So we started designing the X drawing and erasing, erasing and drawing again until finally, I looked at the tracing paper and said. This is nice! Then, I was thinking, we've spent so much time designing the tattoo already and the tattoo artist been spending so much time helping us as well and I thought, too Pai Seh to just walk away like that. And since I'm here, why not just do it? :) So.... Darling paid the deposit and the tattoo artist asked us to come back in half an hour's time as there's another customer having a tattoo done.
So we went for a walk before going back and I was shaking! Hahas.. Darling was laughing at me and my reaction. I realized I had no way out already. There's no U-Turn. Deposit already paid. My heart was beating fast! Especially when we walked back and the tattoo artist opened the side door for me and Darling to enter the shop.
So, we settled down and I sat down on the chair. The tattoo artiste asked me to bend down, hugging the pillow. Oh ya. Forgot to mention, I had the tattoo done on my back waist.. You know, the standard part of the body where females put tribal tattoos at.
Okay, so I bent down, and my heart was still beating fast...
Darling was there to console,saying, Don't worry, it's not that bad...
Those consoles weren't of any use.. Lols.
When the tattoo artist was about to start, I stopped the tattoo artist and said, " Wait! I'm scared!"
But Darling assured and said it's not that painful, don't worry. So, I had the tattoo artist start.
First needle down and I felt.......... Ticklish!! Then, she carried on and it was kinda painful for the outlining but the pain's bearable. My facial treatments are even worse, when the beautician squeeze those blackheads, pimples etc out. When the "colouring" part started, it was even better... No pain, but you can feel vibrating and the needles poking through your skin, but no pain. In fact, during the ending part, I almost fell asleep! It was relaxing.... :)
So in the end when it was done... I was so happy and proud I finally had the courage to go through tattooing!
Was extremely satisfied with the outcome as well! Thanked the tattoo artist and left happily.. :)
Well, it wasn't that bad after all! And to add on, I even have urges of going back to have more tattoos done.. But I have to control that temptation cause one is enough and if I put more, I'll look like Ah Lian, which is totally not what I want to portray...
So, if you're thinking of having a tattoo done, you can consider having it done there. They're skilled and uses new needles so no worries! :)
Well, now I finally have a tattoo which is something I wanted for years but have no courage to do it before! :)
Thanks to Darling, Jay and Eunice for the encouragement and helping with the designing of the tattoo which is now tattooed nicely on my back waist! :) One new experience for me!
Also, here's to add my opinion towards tattoos. You can have them, but don't act in a way that makes people think you're Ah Lian or Ah Beng. I don't condemn people with tattoos. It's totally on how they interact and portray themselves. :) If you have a whole body of tattoos but you speak nicely and have good manners, I believe that's a very good asset even though you have tattoos all over. :)
Well then, here's my post about my new tattoo experience and hope you enjoyed reading. :) Have a good week ahead!
Photo time!
