so a couple of months ago I put in a video saying I got a Polynesian tattoo it's kind
of a click Beatty title because when you click on the video you saw that I did get a tattoo but
it was drawn on with a marker those clickbait but not so much cleaning so now I'm actually
doing it for real I'm actually on my way to left hand path tattoos here in Christchurch
New Zealand I'm getting a design that I've been thinking about for months I know it's
a design that I'm gonna want to keep forever it's pretty symbolic of this of this trip that
we're doing I'm a little nervous I would say I'm like 60% excited and like 40% nervous 60%
excited because I'm excited to finally get it it's gonna be a forearm tattoo at some
holiday to design of Spears which is supposed to represent I guess inner strength of courage
which I think this trip symbolizes it wasn't easy to come here so I'm a little nervous I've
never gotten a tattoo before and I sat down with the tattoo artist she's really cool her
name is Lara she booked two hours sober first tattoo a two hour sessions expect in those two
hours but gonna be good just put on the stencil so this basically that design is gonna be it's
a Polynesian design these are the spheres it's a bad tattoo so it's going to go completely around
let's fly way up to the clouds away from the maddening crowd we can sing
in the glow of a star that I know our word lovers enjoy peace of mind let us leave
the confusion and all this illusion behind just like birds of a feather
so this is the tattoo she actually improved on the graphic that I sent I sent her a sample which
didn't have any gradients on it but she added a bit of gradient on each of the spheres and
it looks ten times better than the sample that I said her I'm like super wasn't too bad I was a bit
nervous with the two-hour session but once you get past that first hump of the initial feeling
which I would describe is kind of like a cat scratching vibration sort of feeling the feeling
of the actual tattoo is actually nowhere near as painful as you imagined it - it wasn't like
a chemical burn in Fight Club this left hand path tattoos Christchurch Lera was my tattoo artist she
did a great job she exceeded my expectation for a first tattoo experience I can see why
people get addicted to tattoos I can't say this is gonna be my last tattoo so had logo next No
it's been one and a half months since I've got my tattoo it still looks really sharp
the lines are really clean the gradients are really good the only problem is now that I've
gotten my first tattoo I've been bitten with the tattoo bug so I've been going online going
on Google looking at different tattoo designs the thing with the Polynesian arm band tattoo
is that you can add on different bands above or around it so I'm starting to get some ideas
online I'm addicted I want to expand this now so for a first tattoo it looks great I love it
