[37.] Sooo... I got a tattoo ♡

Hello dear readers (^-^)


So... yeah!
A few weeks ago I started a tattoo D:
It was very spontaneous decision, but I've wanted one for a long time.

3 weeks ago, I went to my first appointment.
My friend Ellie is a tattoo artist and did the honours (^-^)!
I've admired her work for a long time.

The stencil on! A bit blurry and with my awful tan :3
 So here I am, in the shop in London.
The stencil is on me!

Finished the first session like this!
 After 5 hours, we finished the first session like this.
I was kinda glad we stopped here, as I had enough at this point!

Ellie is a really amazing tattoo artist.
She was making sure I was OK through the entire session.
She even has a sweetie jar on her workstation in case you're feeling weak!

Ellie's workstation is so colourful!

I think I also felt more comfortable with her doing my first tattoo,
because I already knew her! She was one of my crazy colleagues :3

I paid the whole tattoo up front and then arranged a 2nd session with Ellie.
I came back after 3 weeks so we could be certain the tattoo healed properly!

Finished the 2nd session!
Ellie's photo :3

 After another 5 hours, this is the finished result!
I love it so much ♡ Thank you, Ellie <3

It might not seem like it, but this tattoo has a lot of meaning to me.
It's a representation of my life and all the things I love.
I'm not going to go into too much detail, though!


So yea, if you're in London, please look up Ellie and get a tattoo!
You can view her work at http://instagram.com/lagingerli ♡

Thanks for reading!

  1. That looks amazing! I really want a bigger tattoo (nowhere near as big as yours) but I'm too much of a wimp at the moment.

    1. Cheers Noor! It wasn't too bad actually, though there was one bit which stood out most.... the little tea cup, it's a little bit on the ribs and it was the worst pain I've ever felt at that point... not gonna lie, haha!
