So, obviously I had my tattoo on Friday 13th June and if I'm honest it was a very last minute decision. A local tattooist posted a flash sheet on Instagram on the 12th and instantly I was drawn to the anchor but thought there was no way I could book in for one! Later that day I mentioned it to my boyfriend and straight away he booked a different for himself! Within about 5 minutes I had suddenly gotten very courageous and asked him to ring back and book me a slot too!
That was that, we made our way to the tattoo shop on the 13th full of sugary drinks and a Mars bar each and not long after we both walked away with brand new ink! I have to say I think I freaked myself out way too much beforehand because I was so anxious about the pain but it didn't even really hurt! I would definitely say it was less painful than my last tattoo!
Now my tattoo is completely healed (healing time was about 2/3 weeks - I cared for it in the same way as my first tattoo and there was minimal scabbing again!) I can honestly say I am 100% happy with it including placement and design! I am really pleased I chose to have it black and white and I can't wait to have my legs out in summer now as I think it will look so cute!
An anchor for me represents grounding/stability in a rough situation. As you probably know, I live with anxiety everyday so I can really relate to this.
Let me know what you think! Would you ever have a last minute tattoo?!
