My Second Tattoo

Aug 29, 2004.

I got a tribal butterfly design on my right hip bone.

This one is not as painful as my first tattoo experience. But this time, I passed out during the procedure. Its not because of the pain but because it was closer to my face (i mean compared to my ankle where i got my first tattoo on..hehe!) and I was staring at it while the artist is tattooing my skin. So I was unconsciously holding my breath everytime i see or feel the needle touches my skin. I didn't know that i shouldn't be doing that because it will really make you faint, well until that incident happened.

I want to get the tattoo finished that day so after I rested for a few minutes, the artist proceeded to ink my skin. The butterfly tattoo turned out good.

Because of that experience, i'm not sure if this tattoo will be my last. I hope not...

Anyway, here's my tattoo =)

My First Tattoo

Aug 19, 2004.

I got a pink flower design on my left ankle. Ankle is one of the most painful part of our body to get a tattoo on. Nonetheless, I endured the pain. I'm so proud of myself.

It took hours before it finally sinked in to me that i am really inked for life. I was just shocked for the first few hours. I can't believe i just got my first tattoo.

But before i went to bed that night, I was already thinking what design to get for my next tattoo. That's me. I'm a freak. :-)

By the way, here's my tattoo...
