I finally get it!! I know its not most people favourite things in life and some people might think of this type of artwork is outrageous..but for me ... it takes courage to do it and it just my way of proving to myself that I can do anything that I am determine to do...I've think about it over and over again and yeah.. no matter how I think about it, I know that I just need to do it.
I am so fascinated with tattoo since I'm like twelve...I keep imagining what kind of tattoo I will get when I ready to have it when I grow up... It must be something meaningful since it will be under my skin..like forever kan...It might sound so cliché..but that is the reason i want it..its meaningful and it takes courage to do it..;-)
so, when people ask me if I'm ready to do it...hell yeah!! but financially..aha.. not really..Thank God!! I've make some during the Merdeka Raya Mini-Bazaar.. boleh lah splurge sikit this month ;-p . Readiness is one thing.. acceptance is another... I know..the first person I ask were my fiancée, since we soon going to spent our lifetime together, I don't want him to feel disturb with the image when...you know what kan..nanti kill the moment pula...and yes! I'm thankful that he understand me, he understand the reason and most important of all..he accept it... :-) I am grateful to have such an understanding and loving other half~~
so, if you really want to have it and its first time.. survey your tattooist and your design first. I ask around those whom already have it..maybe they can recommend you..once you survey them, you like the design, the next step is..talk and discuss with your tattooist..if you feel comfortable with your choice+your ready..I assure you that you'll manage the pain (Well ..not all part pain la..;-)

Thanks to my Tattooist, Pip Lubasi, he does make my first tattoo experience manageable... so those whom interested..go and check his artwork in his facebook... to those in KK, his studio is just around the corner. Its in Jesselton Point, KK...and oh ya.. at least bring someone to talk to you when you really need that small talk...glad my sister, Jane and his BF were there..watching my tattoo in the making .. as well as Kim...for spending her day off with me too...
Finally, Its Done!!! 2.5 Hours Of paIn anD I'm sCarred for life~~ |
