How to get a tattoo by Tinybird

"Not as scary as it looks!"

How I did it: I found a decent looking tattoo place and made an appointment, after 6 years of wanting a tattoo but being undecided on the design. Well I found something I really liked, left it about a year to make sure I still liked it, then thought it was about time I actually completed this goal! I now have a lovely Celtic triskele design on my inner bicep (photo isn't great, hard to use a camera with my left hand!); I wanted a discreet tattoo, but somewhere a bit different to the shoulder/back... I also wanted it somewhere that I could see myself and marvel at the fact I finally did this =]

Lessons & tips: Find a tattoo place with a good reputation, and make sure you feel comfortable in the actual shop and with the people who could be potentially drawing a permanent design on your body! The guy who did my tattoo was very laid back about the whole thing which I found more relaxing than someone being overly reassuring. 

He did tell me after he'd started that the inner bicep is a tough area for your first tattoo because it's pretty sensitive, which I'd read about, but I was pleasantly surprised - it was more uncomfortable than painful. Not even enough to make me clench my teeth. I was bored more than anything!

Tinybird used to being told that you're trouble.

All the pics I took with a wobbly left hand looked awful! Looks pretty ace in real life tho =]
