How to have a tattoo
How I did it: Since my Mum died 10 years ago, when I was young I never really thought about it. Then one day I thought to myself, I don't want to forget. Obviously you can never forget, but I wanted a constant reminder. Since I was under 18 it was tricky trying to find a place that would tattoo me. I went to Reading Festival in August 2008, and lucky a tattoo stall was there. I look old and pretty much everyone is hammered and doesn't really care. I had my Mums name tattooed underneath my left boob, where my heart is, hopefully. Just after Rage Against the Machine and pretty out of it. I know she would of loved it!
2 months later I had "God needed an Angel" in Irish on my neck as an extra dedication.
Lessons & tips: Be brave, suck it up.
If you get in there having second thoughts, the chances are, you will for the rest of your life. So don't do it!
