i was 17 when i got my first one and my mom took me to get it :) i knew i wanted a V on my foot but i wasn't planning on the little stars. the artist suggested those and i'm so glad he did! a V by itsself sure would look silly. i don't remember the pain of this one now but i'm sure it hurt. i have had to tell a handful of people what it is and what it means because they cant make it out. its a V for Victoria in case you are one of those people :) i still like this tattoo but kind of wish i wouldn't have gotten it here. only because i want something bigger on my foot now. i have thought about covering it a few times and i probably will. stay tuned!
the color is supposed to be pink. guess i need a touch up!
my 2nd i got when i was 18. i had always wanted something on the back of my neck and i had always wanted my horoscope symbol (virgo) somewhere so i figured why not here!? i don't remember this one hurting too bad. i definitely get asked what this is a lot. and i don't regret this one at all.
my 3rd was done when i was 20 or 21. me and mike decided we wanted to get matching tattoos. something small that meant something to us. we went over to a friend's sister's house that was working from her "home shop" (mistake #1) we were going to get a black heart on our wrists but when we got there mike decided just a heart was a little too girly for him. he started suggesting we get a heartagram. (the symbol stands for the perfect balance between life and death, love and hatred & good and evil) we both really liked this symbol and meaning but i was a little skeptical of getting it tattooed on me. (mistake # 2) all of our friends that were there thought it was a cool idea sooo i went with it. it definitely did hurt but not unbearable. and i definitely regret this one. the first reason being how shitty of a job she did! mike's isn't nearly as bad for some reason but definitely not perfect. i get asked a LOT what this is as people think its a pentagram. i try to keep it covered most of the time because i don't want to talk about it. i hate explaining what it is and i hate how shitty it looks! i've mentioned to mike numerous times that we should both get it covered up with something else that matches but he wants to keep his. i'm not giving up on this though!
my 4th one was done this past january at the age of 25 and is another matching tattoo with one of my best friends tiffini. the decision to get this and actually getting it all happened within about 8 hours! we were texting while i was at work and i said "we should get matching cupcake tattoos one day" she replied with "YES! LETS GO TONIGHT!!!" definitely not what i was expecting but OK! we threw a few different ideas around but ultimately stuck with the cupcake. going into this one i was a nervous nelly! my last one was at least 5 years prior and i forgot what it was like! i made her go first of course, hehe. it definitely hurt but again, wasn't unbearable. i don't regret this one at all! its my favorite :) i do wish the color was a little more vibrant but i plan to get it touched up one day soon.

i definitely want to get more. lots more! i'd really like to have a 1/2 sleeve on my left forearm (around my cupcake) but unless i want to wear long sleeves everyday to work, it isnt going to happen anytime soon. i have a long list going of work i'd like to get done. the 4 i have now are all small, so i'd like to get a bigger piece next. a few i knew for sure that i want are a sugar skull, (represents the mexican holiday the day of the dead) a skeleton key and a cameo. i just don't know the placement of these yet! hopefully i'll be adding one of these very soon.
sorry this was so long! hope you enjoyed my tattoo stories! :)
