My best friend and I are going to Tokyo in a few months for a holiday and we’ve been casually discussing the idea of getting inked while we’re over there. We need to sit down and really hash out more ideas of what we’d like to get, but I think that’d be an excellent time and place to do it.

How I did it: Finally managed to convince myself it was necessary for my health and wellbeing, and I had some savings set aside. The savings WERE for my trip to Japan in September, but I'm earning enough money these days that I think I'll survive on the leftovers plus whatever else I can save between now and then. As an added bonus, I'll be able to take some beautiful photos while I'm over there, right? Read how I did it…
