Like a few of my tats it was a trip to New York and some manic down time. But no seriously I got 'lover girl' on the back of my thighs as an ode to being young hot and fun. One day I'll only have the memories of this time so might as well get a tattoo to remember how fun and simple life was in that moment.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?"She can take it" my friends always joke I tatted the most uncomfortable spots first. Knee cap/spine/lower stomach/lower back (tramp stamp lol). I never consider the pain of tattoo beforehand in my mind that's just the cost of wanting the tattoo. However a few times I've immediately regretted the placement from the moment of that first needle poke. And I've never used numbing cream so I feel like a champ when I'm done!
What would you do with the $25,000?Travel the world for more tattoos. I've been to Thailand and I think I could bear a stick and poke. I've seen some amazing artist in Japan an a few places in Europe. Would love to have an international collection of tattoos. I have a lot of open space so the sky is the limit.
