I did it. I went Monday and followed through. It’s so pretty and I just love it!
How to get a thistle tattoo
How I did it: I finalized my drawing of the tattoo. I booked an appointment at the local tattoo parlor. I looked through all the artist's portfolio's for the best artist in black and white. Went in, took an hour to do, it turned out beautiful.
Lessons & tips: Know what you want. Tattoo's are permanent. I got mine on my upper back, right there where all the nerve endings meet. It wasn't sore, just a little disconcerting when my elbows began tingling. It was weird but the artist talked me through it. Be really comfortable with who is tattooing you, it's rather personal.
Resources: Internet sites about tattooing, the tattoo parlor, and friends who have gotten tattoos previosuly.
