Around two months ago, I decided I wanted to finally get my first tattoo. I have wanted one for over eight years now, and finally I’ve made it a reality. If you’ve been on my Flickr account, you’ve already seen some pictures of it.
I got it done at Neo-primitive Tattoo and Piercings in Hanover, Ontario. The experience wasn’t as painful as I assumed it would be. It felt like a knife cutting into my skin when she was doing the outline, and felt like a sunburn when she worked on filling in the design.
Overall, I was in the chair for around an hour and a half and it wasn’t even as bad as the chest pains I sometimes get.
The funniest thing was when I was showing the pictures of classic cars that I took in Hanover, my co-worker, Brad, saw the design and asked if it was mine. I told him yes, and he wouldn’t believe me until he saw it. It was kind of an embarrassing moment, but also quite funny.

Love it!
I’ve been thinking of getting a second one myself.
That’s really cool! I just can’t think of what I’d want to have tattoo’d onto me.
The worst part is in my head, I’m already like “I wonder what else would be nice to have…”
