My first tattoos ☆



Hey everybody!
Today I'm gonna be talking about my first tattoos, which I got back in March and April! 

I've always been crazy about tattoos, but I couldn't decide which one I should get first, and I didn't want to go to a random studio because I was afraid I wouldn't handle the pain very well. Turns out I started seeing a guy who happens to be a tattoo artist, and not only I got a discount, but he was very comprehensive about my hesitation and was also very caring throughout the process. 

At first I wanted to do some swans, but I found this Sailor Moon art that got me on a chokehold. I've always been sure that I'd want a Sailor Moon tattoo someday, as it's very important to me and she's been with me since I was like 4! 


As soon as I saw it, I knew I found my first tattoo
Although I'm a tattoo fan, I don't like big, colorful tattoos *on myself*, and I'd rather go for something more minimalistic and symbolic than straight up anime Luna and Artemis, because I always think about how it's going to look when I age.

My birthday was just around the corner, so I decided to gift myself with it! I did it a week before the special date 


During the process... 


Final result! 

The plot twist is that I didn't feel any pain at all!  It was more like a very inoffensive pinch, I was almost asleep wwwww 
 

In April, I decided to get a Barbie tattoo. 

Barbie is a very important, special part of my life. I hold a very strong love for her in my little doll heart  It's one of my favorite things ever and forever. So why not having her with me on my skin for all eternity? 

This time, I sketched a design myself  I knew exactly what I wanted: sleek, minimalistic, symbolic, historical and stylish. I went for the OG stripped swimsuit, accompanied by Barbie's initials (BMR, as in Barbara Millicent Roberts – her full name!) and release year (1959).

Final result + the Sailor Moon tat touched up! 

Honestly, they came out soooo cute! And they're just so me  not to mention they look gorgeous in photos!



I'm not stopping there though!

I have a wishlist of tattoos that I wanna get 

 Sailor Moon S brooch;
 Swans;
 Mermaid scales;
 My grandma's initials;
 Bayonetta;
 And of course, 
HIBISCUS!!!!! 

Next month I'm getting those cute little sparkly stars on both arms because I'm a magical girl 


Imagine wearing shimmering body lotion over it... Do you see the vision? *Squeaks*
