| I'm on a quest to find the perfect first tattoo and | | | | think about things from every angle. It's just me, |

| source for body art. Once of my best friends and | | | | What I've Learned about Tattoos |
| I had a pack to get a tattoo together at the | | | | Cost, it can run upwards into the $500.00 |
| same time. The time came and she got hers. I | | | | figure. |
| set in the tattoo shop watching as she got it. The | | | | Where to get my tattoo and where to put it |
| excitement was intense and everyone kept | | | | on my body. |
| asking what tattoo I liked. Truth was I saw | | | | All the options, there are tons of options to |
| nothing I wanted on my body. Why, because I | | | | know about |
| had seen the designs on others. I wanted | | | | Color choices and what will look best on your |
| something different. | | | | skin type. |
| We left the shop with both excitement for my | | | | Color choice and how it will match your |
| friend and her new tat and yet it was bitter | | | | clothes on any given day |
| sweet as I had none. I just couldn't commit to | | | | Your going to have it forever so it should be |
| one as nothing caught my eye. I felt a bit of a | | | | a quality piece. |
| wimp but my friend understood and in fact | | | | No regret, a tattoo is a piece of art and |
| mentioned she had a twinge of regret not having | | | | should reflect you. |
| drawn her own art for her first tattoo. | | | | Once you get your first odds are you will |
| In the beginning we both had planned to draw our | | | | want another etc. |
| own designs. We wanted to make them similar or | | | | The thing about a tattoo is that you can't take it |
| even related. Everytime we drew something we | | | | off. You can cover it up and yet sometimes |
| lost the courage or just didn't think it was good | | | | that's an uncomfortable option. I'm a girl who likes |
| enough. Imagine telling people you drew it and it | | | | to coordinate my wardrobe and look nice. I still |
| somehow just wasn't as great as you would | | | | want a tattoo and at the current moment am |
| hope. After all the only reason you would put | | | | just taking my time to find the right design. I feel |
| your own art on your body is because you were | | | | that I will know it when I see it. I just haven't |
| a great artist right? | | | | seen the right tat for me yet. The search goes |
| Anyway I soon learned the stigma of having a | | | | on. I'm a whole new generation and choose to |
| tattoo brought on a lot of responsibility. The body | | | | make my expression stand out and reflect me |
| art I get should be something that sends a | | | | and my moment which is not to reflect that of |
| message about who I am and what I stand for. It | | | | generations before me. I guess I want to start a |
| must also be timeless as I will have it forever. If | | | | new revolution! |
